Travis Kelce was asked to finish Taylor Swift’s song “Karma” lyrics by a reporter.. Did he pass the test? Travis Kelce Shocked Fans
Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates were given an unusual grilling at their Super Bowl press conferences on Thursday – with a reporter asking them to finish the lyrics to popular Taylor Swift songs.
In a break from the typical questions about Sunday’s big game, one journalist went rogue and asked some of the team’s biggest stars about their pop knowledge.
Of course, all eyes were on Kelce and whether he was able to complete the lyrics to one of his girlfriend’s biggest songs – Karma.
The reporter in question challenged him by singing ‘Karma is the guy on the…’, before waiting for Kelce to respond.
Without skipping a beat, the superstar tight end replied: ‘Chiefs… of course!’, drawing laughter from the watching crowd.
Not content, though, the reporter followed up with the next line of the song, singing: ‘Coming straight…’
Kelce at that point appeared stumped, and decided instead to ask ‘what was the second question?’ rather than finish that line with ‘home to me’.
Karma is a Swift song widely associated with Kelce after he traveled to Argentina to watch an Eras Tour show, and she changed the lyrics to mention him.
What would usually be ‘Karma is the guy on the screen’ was changed to ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs’, leading to her fans going crazy, and Kelce himself caught on camera beaming at the gesture alongside the singer’s dad Scott.
Shortly after, Patrick Mahomes took to the stage in Vegas and he too was cornered by the same reporter, who sung to him: ‘It’s me…’
Laughing, the quarterback then replies – correctly: ‘Hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.’
He then continues by adding: ‘I know that one… I’m glad you gave me that one, that was an easy one. I’m going to stay away from you now, I don’t want to get tongue-tied out here.’
While the week is currently light-hearted for the Chiefs players, attention will soon turn to the business of Sunday night, and the Super Bowl match-up against the San Francisco 49ers.
Kansas City – despite going into the game as reigning champions – are slight underdogs when it comes to securing the Lombardi Trophy.
