Kelce explained that he had initially suggested to Swift that he could appear during the "1989" era, but she had a different plan.
"She found the perfect, perfect part of the show for me to come in. There was no bike, in case I like ran into somebody else or hit one of the dancers or anything. It was like the safest option," Kelce said.

"It's such a fun, like playful part of the show. And it was like the perfect area or perfect time for me to go up there, just be a ham, and have some fun not only with [Taylor], Cam and Jan, but the crowd," Travis said.

At one point, Kelce even picked Swift up and carried her in his arms.
"The one thing I told myself is, ‘Do not drop the baby. Do not drop this. Do not drop Taylor on your way over [to] this damn couch.' The golden rule was do not drop Taylor. Get her to the couch safely," he joked.

Travis admitted that he had become so familiar with the show from attending multiple performances that he would often find himself miming the choreography in the crowd.
"I didn't disappoint Taylor. So, that's all that really matters," he said.
Later in the podcast episode, Travis hinted at the possibility of more appearances, teasing that he might start disregarding instructions and improvising during future shows.
"Shoutout to Tay for letting me jump on the stage with her. Who knows? Might not be the last time. You guys will have to keep showing up to these — the Eras Tour — to see if I pop out of the stage or what not," he told listeners.
Swift's Eras Tour has seen a star-studded audience, with celebrities such as Hugh Grant, Tom Cruise, Ashton Kutcher, Stevie Nicks, and Julia Roberts joining the crowd at recent stops.
The tour continues its international leg, with upcoming shows in Amsterdam and other European cities. Fans can expect more surprises and special moments as Taylor Swift and her special guests bring the Eras Tour to life on stages across the globe.
