Travis Kelce’s tweet gets an unexpected response from NASA nearly 16 years later

Long before he captured Taylor Swift’s heart, Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce had one of those nights when he looked up at the sky and admired the cosmos — particularly Earth’s lunar friend.

“The moon looks crazy tonight… Imma chill out here for a little and just visualize my success n vibe to the scenary,” Kelce tweeted back in August of 2010.

Nearly two decades later, NASA unearthed Kelce’s tweet and responded to it amid the hype surrounding the Artemis II mission.

“It’s been a long time coming,” NASA responded on Sunday to Kelce’s old post.

What some might have missed about NASA’s response was the space agency’s savvy reference to one of Swift’s songs.

Swift used to begin each performance during her “Eras Tour” with the line “It’s been a long time coming,” which is apparently a lyric taken from her song “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince.”

Given the breadth of Taylor Swift’s canon, NASA has plenty of lyrics from her works to choose from if the world’s premier space agency wants to continue referencing her songs to describe space or have wholesome fun with people on the internet.

As for Kelce, he can add to the success he visualizes each evening while staring at the moon, as he has decided to return for at least one more season with the Chiefs.
