Travis Kelce brought a slice of Southern charm to his musical festival, Kelce Jam, as he was seen taking a whiskey shot from a slice of bread on stage alongside Patrick Mahomes.
This came after his recent return from Europe, where he left behind his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
The 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs star, still riding high from the team’s second consecutive Super Bowl victory, hosted the event clad in jeans and a blue bucket hat, and sporting a logo t-shirt for the festival.

Held for the second time, Kelce Jam drew over 20,000 attendees and featured performances from artists like Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Diplo, and DJ Irie, echoing the city’s elation over its Super Bowl wins.
Kelce made the festival more memorable by handing out free Wingstop to fans before the show and even tossing Uncrustables into the crowd—his favorite game-day snack—during his time on stage.
In a highlight moment, Kelce joined Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz for a surprise rendition of ‘Duffle Bag Boy,’ a track he’s previously mentioned as a staple on his game-day playlist.
The atmosphere was further enlivened with Brittany Mahomes, Patrick’s wife, spotted enjoying the festivities backstage just days after her appearance at Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition red carpet event.
After a two-week stay in Europe supporting Swift on her ‘Eras Tour,’ Kelce’s return to the U.S. was marked by this exuberant display at Kelce Jam.
Despite describing himself as an ‘amateur’ on stage, Kelce plans to head back to Europe to spend more time with Swift during her ongoing tour, which has no extended breaks until late August.
Swift’s touring schedule and the NFL calendar are favorably aligned, potentially allowing her to attend up to 14 regular-season Chiefs games. Her tour concludes on December 8 in Vancouver, just as the NFL season heads towards its critical final games.
The couple also enjoyed some downtime in Italy, including a romantic boat ride on Lake Como, before Swift’s performances in Sweden.
