Travis Kelce revisited his auction faux pas moment
While on New Heights, the NFL star explained to his brother Jason how he came to bid on an item he already owned
“You realized it afterwards?” Jason asked, after Travis explained his mindset
Taylor Swift’s guitar belongs to Travis Kelce — even if his brother Jason can’t quite see.
While on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, the siblings revisited last week’s 15 and the Mahomies auction gala, where the Kansas City Chiefs star tried to buy the “Fortnight” singer’s autographed guitar.
“There’s this clip of you helping a good cause by running up an auction price for a signed guitar,” Jason, 37, began — and which Travis, 35, quickly corrected.
“No, I put my paddle up because I wanted it and then I realized, ‘Oh, I already have it. Oh, that was the guitar I have,’ ” Travis said.
But the retired Philadelphia Eagles center couldn’t understand why his brother bid in the first place.
“You realized it afterwards?” Jason incredulously asked, to which Travis replied: “You don’t want to buy the same guitar twice.”

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce
Travis appeared at his friend and Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes’ annual charity benefit on Thursday, May 15, where he was seated with the quarterback and his wife Brittany Mahomes. In video taken at the event, Swift was not seen.
But footage from the gala caught the moment Travis made his mistake mid-bid.

“I just realized I have that already,” Kelce said and then took his seat at a table, as guests at the event roared with laughter.
Last year, Swift, 35, and the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? host pulled up at the benefit, where they displayed PDA — and their generosity.
The tight end appeared onstage during the auction and revealed that he and his “significant other” had decided to put four of Swift’s Eras Tour tickets up for bidding.
“Has anyone heard of the Eras Tour?,” he asked as guests in the room cheered.
