Travis Kelce sneaks the perfect Taylor Swift into the latest episode of New Heights

Travis Kelce saw an opportunity, and he took it. 

During the latest episode of New Heights, the tight end and his brother Jason Kelce welcomed Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo on the show. And when he began talking about how his relationship with head coach Andy Reid began, was where Kelce made the subtle but perfect Taylor Swift reference. 

"Let me get the year right. It had to be the late 80s. '88 or '89," Spagnuolo said. 

"Oh man. The late 80s! Those were good years," Kelce responded. 

Now, he could have simply said it because he was born on October 5, 1989. However, it also just so happens that Swift was born that same year, and even has an album with that exact name. 

Oh, and it's worth mentioning that it happens to be one of Kelce's favorite albums by the singer. 

Kelce's viral Eras Tour guest appearance had everyone talking, but his initial idea was actually to join in with the dancers for her song, "Blank Space." As Swift sang, many of her dancers rode bikes in the background. And Kelce wanted to join in on the fun. 

“I initially mentioned it to Tay. I was like, how funny would it be I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 era," Travis said on the New Heights season 2 finale. "She started laughing. She was like would you seriously be up for doing something like that? And I was like, what? I would love to do that! Are you kidding me? I’ve seen the show enough. Might as well put me to work here."

ut in the end, Swift decided to add him into another part of the show rather than that one.

"And sure enough she found the perfect part of the show for to come in," the tight end added. "There was no bike in case I ran into somebody else or hit one of the dancers or anything. It was the safest option."

It all worked out in the end.
