Travis Kelce has lifted the lid on his and Taylor Swift’s viral trip to the US Open, revealing all about his ‘cringe’ dancing – and what he was really watching on his phone.
The superstar pair went viral on Sunday as they took in the men’s singles final from courtside in New York, dancing along to the music between games.
Many claimed they were ‘doing too much’ and blasted their antics during the match, while others enjoyed their loved-up display – but now Kelce himself has spoken out for the first time.
First referencing his outfit and revealing the theme, he said on New Heights: ‘I went country club… it was tennis, what do you want me to do? It was tennis!’
He then talked listeners through the day, revealing: ‘It was a completely different world. I looked to my left and my right and every single time I did it, I saw a familiar face. There were so many f***ing people there to see the action, especially the final game knowing an American was in the US Open.

Travis described his look as ‘country club’ as he opened up on the experience for the first time
‘It’s very quiet, and you know us… when it’s very quiet we want to do something or say something. I’ve never been a quiet person, I’ve always been the kid at the back of the class when it gets quiet, saying something smart or funny, or trying to get a rise out of someone.
‘The entire time I wanted to heckle the Italian guy Sinner, the No 1 player in the world and really try and get into his head and help my guy Fritzy out, give him a home court advantage here in America, but I played it cool, I played it respectful, knowing that’s kind of frowned upon.
‘I’m sure if I started heckling him like the guy in Happy Gilmore – “you stupid jacka**” – I would have been asked to leave pretty quick.’
Kelce had his phone propped up against his drink, and he has now revealed what he had on it
While watching the tennis, fans did notice that Kelce’s attention may have not been fully on the court, with the NFL star glancing down at his phone, which was propped up against his drink.
Many speculated that he was watching the first Sunday of the NFL season, and the Kansas City Chiefs star has now confirmed he couldn’t avoid the football.
‘Jason, when you get something like Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV, you can watch any game you want… you can actually watch four games at once,’ he joked. ‘It was perfect… it was the first f***ing Sunday of the NFL season!
‘It was primetime for any NFL fan and I’ve always been a fan first, man. The volume was down… I wasn’t listening with volume.

‘I was watching that Miami Dolphins game just waiting for Tyreek Hill to go for 300 yards and five touchdowns knowing what happened earlier in the day.
‘And sure enough, finally in the fourth quarter when I think Jacksonville had just fumbled the ball, literally the next play they go up top to Tyreek Hill and he has this fun touchdown celebration… you can lock me up all you want, baby!’
‘I had the old country club look going, with the cardigan and button-up and hat to match, I was Gucci head to toe. I had the Magoo mustache. The bucket hat with the mustache is very Magoo-ish. I was a huge Mr Magoo fan growing up, man.
‘This look makes me feel like Magoo.’
