Travis Kelce Dances to Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ During ‘New Heights’ Podcast Taping in Cincinnati

Jason and Travis Kelce returned to their old college stomping grounds on Thursday (April 11) when the NFL legend brothers packed the University of Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena for a taping of their “New Heights” podcast in front of a rabid audience of college kids and football fans.

And while they had some A-list guests and played some fun games, the clip that instantly went viral was, of course, Travis, 34, dancing along to girlfriend Taylor Swift‘s 2014 smash “Shake It Off” on stage. The precious moment was uploaded to TikTok by a fan, who grabbed video of Travis doing the “Shake It” shimmy along to a marching band version of the song, complete with the appropriate hand gestures. A crowd member shouts the song title, with Travis confirming it and saying “that’s one of my favorites.”

The Super Bowl champ siblings — Eagles center Jason retired earlier this year — both played college ball for UC and their return to Cincinnati was huge news in the city for the past week. Their guests for the taping were Queen City royalty, including Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who has an ongoing, fierce rivalry with Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs. Burrow, who appeared along with teammate offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr., needled Kelce a bit, telling him that the Bengals were custom built to beat KC.

Proud mom Donna Kelce was also on hand, with the pod’s X account teasing beforehand, “Mama Kelce wouldn’t miss her boys’ first arena show,” along with a pic of Donna holding a giant clutch of mylar balloons featuring the KC and Eagles jerseys as well as a heart-shaped one that read “World’s Best Mom.” Due to torrential spring rains on Wednesday and Thursday, the podcast was forced to move indoors from the planned site at nearby Nippert Stadium, where the Ohio native brothers suited up for the Bearcat during college.

During the appearance, both men also finally picked up their diplomas.
