Travis Kelce is opening up about his surprise appearance at girlfriend Taylor Swift’s London leg of her Eras tour.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end opened up about the moment on his “New Heights” podcast with his brother Jason Kelce during the Season 2 finale that premiered July 3, and revealed that the surprise appearance was his idea.

“I first talked to Tay about it. I thought, ‘Would it be fun if I just rode one of the bikes?’” he recalls.

Kelce said Swift laughed before asking if he would really be up for it.

“I thought, ‘What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me? I’ve seen enough of the show, I might as well get to work here,'” he added.

Kelce said Swift – who he called a “true showman” – had found the “perfect part of the show” for him to join her on stage at Wembley Stadium for the June 26 concert, with Kelce dressed in a full tuxedo and bow tie.

“I didn’t have a bike in case I hit someone else or one of the dancers or anything,” he joked. “It was the safest option.”

Kelce said his dance moves during the show were inspired by Jim Carrey’s role in “Dumb and Dumber” and said he enjoyed the opportunity to “just be a ham and have fun.”

“It was great,” he concluded. “And I didn’t disappoint Taylor, so that’s all that really matters.”

According to several fan videos from the concert documenting the surprise appearance, Kelce joined Swift onstage during the intro to “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” — which Jason Kelce said on the latest episode of “New Heights” is his new favorite song by the pop star.
