It was a special moment for Travis Kelce when he recently appeared at one of girlfriend Taylor Swift‘s concerts in Paris, as part of her epic “Eras Tour.” It was the 87th show on Swift‘s tour — and Kelce, who wears #87 for the Kansas City Chiefs, was in attendance with celebrity couple Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid.
However, Kelce has been put on blast by social media users for an unfortunate mistake he made while watching Swift perform songs from her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” at La Defense Arena. The NFL‘s highest-paid tight end has now defended himself on the latest edition of his podcast, “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with older brother Jason.
One eagle-eyed attendee watching Swift’s final Paris show on Sunday saw Kelce filming the concert from high above the lower bowl at La Defense Arena. Unfortunately for Kelce, he did not realize the flash function on his phone’s camera was on — a real “dad moment” for the 34-year-old.
“You got caught pulling an Ed Kelce move here taking a video with your flash on,” Jason Kelce joked on “New Heights,” referencing the brothers’ father for comedic effect. “What are you doing, Trav? You’re supposed to be better than this.”

Travis claimed that the flash automatically turned on when he began filming, and in his defense, he told Jason that he was only trying to “get some good video memories.”
“I don’t give a damn,” the defiant younger Kelce said. “Did I get clowned for that? Sorry.”
Despite Travis’ cold attitude toward being mocked on social media, the three-time Super Bowl champion gushed over his partner’s performance — which has recently been augmented with songs from her newest album, still the #1 record in the United States.
“I suggest everybody get out there and see it. It is absolutely unbelievable,” Travis said about Taylor’s stage setup and show. “I enjoyed every bit of it.”
