Travis Kelce was seen taking a whiskey shot off a slice of bread in true southern form while on stage with Patrick Mahomes at Kelce Jam, his musical festival, after leaving girlfriend Taylor Swift in Europe.
The 34-year-old Chiefs star took Kansas City by storm again on Saturday, this time to continue Super Bowl festivities three months after the team’s second straight championship win, as he drank some Jim Beam in front of cameras and fans. He arrived at the event wearing a branded t-shirt, trousers, and a blue bucket hat.
The festival, which debuted last year, featured performances by Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Diplo, and DJ Irie. More than 20,000 people attended the one-day event, as the city remains ecstatic after winning back-to-back Super Bowls.
Before the event, Kelce greeted the audience, shaking hands and handing out complimentary Wingstop to hungry festivalgoers.
Onstage, he performed ‘Duffle Bag Boy’ alongside Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz, a tune Kelce previously told The Hollywood Reporter is still on his ‘game day’ playlist.

Mahomes and Kelce also united, as they do on the field, to perform ‘All I Do Is Win’ with 2 Chainz.
‘Everybody! It’s my dog, Pat Mahomes! Kelce screamed into the mic.
Kansas City! How do we feel out there tonight? Are we going to Kelce Jam or what? Let me hear,” the Chiefs quarterback said, adding, ‘We love you! We wanted you to realize that winning back-to-back Super Bowls isn’t enough… Do you know what we’re going for? Three of ’em!’
Kelce even displayed one of the Chiefs’ Vince Lombardi trophies to supporters at one point throughout the evening.
He inked a two-year contract worth $34.25 million in April, making him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.

His party animal antics come just one day after he returned from the United States to Europe. Kelce has spent the previous two weeks with Swift on the European leg of her sold-out ‘Eras Tour’.
He has already been to Argentina, Australia, and Singapore to assist the popstar during her tour.
Over 20k fans attended Kelce Jam, which took place three months after the Super Bowl.

Kelce, who admitted to feeling like a ‘amateur’ on stage earlier this month, will most certainly return overseas to spend time with Swift throughout the summer, given she does not have a long break from touring until late August.
Following that, Swift’s schedule clears up just in time for the start of the 2024 NFL season, since her next gig is not until November 14 in Toronto.
Based on her North American tour dates, the singer will be able to attend up to 14 regular-season games with the Chiefs.
Swift’s nearly two-year tour concludes on December 8 in Vancouver.
Kelce and Swift spent the last few days together in Italy, taking a romantic Lake Como boat ride before her performances in Sweden.
