Regina CarmichaelTravis Kelce and Taylor Swift took a break from football on Monday, October 14, as the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and pop star attended the New York Yankees‘ Game 1 win over the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS.
Kelce is an Ohio native, so he was rooting for the Guardians all the way. Unfortunately for Kelce, Cleveland lost, which made him describe his whirlwind baseball date with Taylor Swift using two words.
Kelce’s two words to describe the event were “mixed feelings.”
“It was mixed feelings, because I was there trying to have some fun with Tay and everybody, all our friends…came, we had an unbelievable crew with us and hanging with us. It was fun, even though the Guards couldn’t pull it off,” Kelce said on his “New Heights” podcast Wednesday, October 16.
Kelce also added that Monday actually marked his first time at Yankee Stadium.
“It was still an exciting game,” he added. “It was cool to see Yankee Stadium, because I always wanted to see that thing in person, in a playoff game, in a hostile environment, and it didn’t disappoint, man. The Yankees, the fans, the players, everybody involved, man. It was awesome.”
Of course, because he was rooting for Cleveland, Kelce says he felt like he was in “hostile territory, because it’s the Bronx Bombers, and I’m at Yankee Stadium and the playoffs, and I’m over here cheering for the Guards, because I’m a Cleveland kid.”
Kelce also talked about what it takes to be a MLB player, which he said is quite different from being in the NFL, especially in the postseason.
“I think it’s just the intensity, you know, you play all those, what is it, 162 games, for these moments and every single pitch matters,” Kelce said of the MLB. “Every single pitch matters. A few got away from our first reliever there, unfortunately, and sure enough we weren’t able to bounce back from Yankees’ power, man…”
