Throughout history, Yoko Ono has often been attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the breakup of The Beatles due to her relationship with the legendary John Lennon. However, it seems that Travis Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, is blissfully unaware of this widely known fact.
During the latest episode of the New Heights podcast with Travis and his brother Jason, Jason jokingly likened Travis’s situation to that of The Beatles and Yoko Ono, highlighting how Travis seems to always attract paparazzi attention wherever his girlfriend Taylor Swift goes.
“Yeah, you’re like The Beatles,” Jason Kelce remarked. “Like Yoko Ono.”
To Jason’s surprise, Travis didn’t catch the reference and hilariously asked, “Was that the speed skater?”
Jason burst into laughter at the unexpected response, while Travis quickly realized his mistake. “Oh wait, that’s Apolo,” he corrected himself, amid laughter from Jason.

Jason couldn’t contain his amusement at the mix-up. “Are you thinking of Apolo Anton Ohno?” he replied, thoroughly amused by Travis’s confusion.
For clarification, Apolo Anton Ohno is an Olympic speed skater renowned for his achievements between 2002 and 2010, winning numerous gold and overall medals.
Travis Kelce’s lack of familiarity with Yoko Ono and The Beatles’ history may be surprising to some. While his forte lies in sports, a brief study of cultural icons like Yoko Ono could provide valuable insights into their influence on music history.
