When the White House spokesperson announced that the reigning Super Bowl winners, the Kansas City Chiefs, would be presenting the Lombardi Trophy on Friday like last year, everyone was waiting for what Travis Kelce would do. The All-Pro tight end did not disappoint.
The Chiefs squad lined up at the verandah from where the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, gives speeches. Biden welcomed everyone and passed the baton to Kelce to say a few words.
I'd have Travis come up here but God only knows what he would say... Travis come up here. It’s all you pal.Joe Biden told Travis Kelce
Dressed in a White Tuxedo with a black tie and shades, Kelce stepped up to the podium next to Biden. And in typical Travis Kelce fashion, the 34-year-old cracked a joke.
My fellow Americans... it's nice to see you all yet again. I'm not gonna lie, President Biden, they told me if I came up here I'd get tased, so I'm gonna go back to my spot, alright?Travis Kelce said

Everyone started chuckling after he finished. Perhaps he wanted to make the opportunity count contrary to last year. Right after Biden moved away from the microphone, he attempted to speak.
So, I've been waiting for this…Travis Kelce began
However, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes dragged him away because it wasn’t in the protocol.
Sorry! Sorry!Patrick Mahomes said as he waved at the crowd of reporters
Mission accomplished for Travis Kelce
The failed chance of speaking on the same podium as the POTUS left an unfulfilled desire in Kelce. He really wanted to speak.
I’ve always admired,[obviously], the president at the podium is iconic, right? I shouldn’t have started off with ‘I’ve always wanted to do this.' Pat knew right away I was in over my head. Shout-out to Pat for keeping me from embarrassing myself at that podium, man, in front of the whole world.Travis Kelce revealed in an episode of his ‘New Heights’ podcast with older brother Jason Kelce
Now all eyes will turn to Madrid where his girlfriend, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, is taking place. With all the formalities wrapped up, Swifties would be hoping to see their favorite couple reunited after more than 20 days apart.
The distance from her beau has been a cruel one for the 14-time Grammy winner. Her close associates revealed that the ‘cruel summer’ singer has been anxious without Kelce by her side. It was the first time they had seen Swift being that way because, before her romance with the three time Super Bowl winner, she would be fine being alone.
