Taylor Swift had a laugh at the expense of her potential brother-in-law, Jason Kelce, while making her debut appearance on his podcast New Heights on Wednesday.
During the nearly two hour-long episode, Swift spoke about how Travis made his on-stage debut with her for her Eras Tour shows at Wembley Stadium. 'Wasn’t this the week that I got to watch Jason meet the Royal Family?' Swift recalled, before she and Travis, proceeded to poke fun at Jason for his neurotic concerns about his demeanour before meeting Prince William and two of his children, Princess Charlotte and Prince George.
The hitmaker ended up immortalising the performances with selfies featuring the Prince of Wales — who was celebrating his birthday at the concerts. 'I knew you were serious when I was like, "Jason, do you want to go meet [them]?"' she continued, and Travis chimed in to narrate his older brother's reaction.
'He was like, "What do I do with my beer?"' the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said.
Swift played off her boyfriend, adding: 'I watched him have this moment with his beer where he’s just like, "But I want to take it. But I know that I probably should not take it."
'I watched this happen and it was kind of the most amazing [thing],' she said with a laugh.
Jason then confirmed that Swift was 'exactly' right about his tortured mental process at the time.
'If I don’t have my beer, what do I do with this hand now? Or am I just, like, being authentic by having the beer? I would normally have the beer. Wouldn’t they want me to be myself?' Swift said as she mocked Jason's mental back-and-forth.
'I’m watching you say that in your head,' she clarified, adding that it was a 'fantastic' show for her. 'I’ll always remember that.'
Travis added, after meeting the Royals, that Prince William was 'the coolest motherf***er.' He added that he didn't realise Prince George and Princess Charlotte would also be there, but they turned out to be an 'absolute delight to meet' as well.
