Travis Kelce Says Taylor Swift Could Help Build a Tailgate Stage

Travis Kelce said on the November 11 episode of his podcast, New Heights, that he may ask Taylor Swift for help with a stage for future tailgate events. The episode was posted that day, and the Billboard report covered the exchange.

The idea came up after a tailgate in Philadelphia, a pre-game party held outside the stadium before a match. The brothers hosted it three days before the episode went out. Jason Kelce called it the "best" New Heights tailgate they have ever done.

Jason said the pair should re-create the stage setup from that day. He added a practical problem: most tailgates do not have a stage. He suggested they might build their own.

Asked whether he knew anyone who could help with that kind of work, Travis said he would see what his wife could cook up. The podcast's discussion linked that remark to Swift, and Travis talked about consulting her for a stage element at future New Heights events.

Swift's stage work has a long track record. She performed the Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024, a concert trek that Billboard describes as a billion-dollar run. Her production team built large, detailed shows for crowds across several continents.

Travis has also put on live events of his own. He hosted two Kelce Jam festivals, one in 2023 and one in 2024, to honour the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl wins in those years. The line-ups included Lil Wayne, Diplo and Machine Gun Kelly.

For fans of the podcast, the episode offers a small look at how the brothers plan their events. A tailgate with a stage takes more than a good playlist. It needs someone to design it, build it, and get it through the day on time. Whether a stage gets built, and who builds it, has not been announced.
