On the set of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, it seems even the famous relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift wasn’t off-limits for jokes. Guest stars Natasha Leggero and Ron Funches revealed that Kelce took the playful Swift-related jabs in stride during filming.
According to Funches via US Weekly, the show’s cast, which included a number of Taylor Swift fans, made subtle jokes and references about his relationship with the pop star. Funches said, “We certainly were jabbing him,” but Kelce handled it well, often throwing jokes back in good humor.
Although there were rumors that Swift visited the set, Funches could not confirm or deny her presence, leaving fans wondering if she made a secret appearance. “I did not see her, but I did hear whispers,” Funches teased.
Leggero praised Kelce for holding his own on set, while also noting that comedian Nikki Glaser struggled to keep her Swiftie fandom in check. Glaser, described as “one of the biggest Swifties”, reportedly felt nervous being around Kelce due to his connection with Swift.
Kelce, who has been public about his relationship with Swift since September 2023, continues to receive support from the singer, with her attending his Kansas City Chiefs games. Despite his busy NFL schedule, Kelce found time to jet off to New York City with Swift for date nights during the team’s bye week.
Fans can catch Kelce as the host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, premiering October 16 on Prime Video.
