Travis Kelce has opened up on the night Taylor Swift's Eras tour to Buenos Aires fell victim to thunder and lightning - and how the pop sensation wasn't happy about postponing the show in Argentina.

The tight end spent a couple of nights in South America during the Chiefs' bye week, catching a glimpse of his new girlfriend on her worldwide tour.

However, on Kelce's first night in Argentina, Swift was forced to call off the show just hours before she was due on stage.


'I got down there hoping I was going to see Taylor's second show but it got rained out – really it got thunder and lightning'd out,' Kelce said on his New Heights podcast. 

'She wasn't too happy about it – she kind of prides herself on performing through weather and rain and things like that. But when it's unsafe to her, her crew and everybody in the stadium you have to do what you have to do.'

Those who missed out were able to come to her show on Sunday, with local airlines even waiving extra fees for those needing to rebook flights.

'I think it ended up being perfect,' Kelce added. 'It was like a couple of hours before. You get the expert in to tell you it's probably best we just postpone it.'

That night, Kelce and Swift had a meal which gave the NFL star a chance to meet the singer's father, Scott. But the couple were careful not to be seen soaking up the city following the disappointment of the postponement.

'The first night I was there was really the only chance I had to go to for dinner,' he said. 

'It was the night the show got postponed so we didn't want to just go and have a blast throughout the city – like we didn't care about the show – so we made sure we stayed in the hotel and kept to ourselves.' 

He added: 'We got some good food, had some empanadas and steak… they have good steak down there.' 

During the meal, Kelce also took the opportunity to get 'Scott over to the good side baby'. The Swift family have made no secret of being Eagles fans but Scott wore a Chiefs lanyard when watching the rearranged show alongside the Kansas City tight end.

'You're gonna let this man's devilishly good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a life of fandom, Scott?' Jason Kelce joked. 'This is ridiculous.' 

Jason said he hopes to get together to talk football with Swift Sr. But when the singer changed the lyrics to her song 'Karma' to reference her new flame, Travis and Scott botched a high-five

'Ah Mr Swift I apologise big guy. I never miss a high-five, a big high-five guy. It's the most electric thing you can do at an event. So sorry Mr Swift,' he said.

'The stadium was unbelievable,' he continued. 'It was north of 65,000, like 70,000 - three nights in a row. It's crazy how many sold out shows she has and these venues that she's keeps going to.

'I was blown away. It was an electric crowd too. For everybody who went to those shows, Taylor was on record saying it was one of her favorite places to play… Taylor absolutely ripped it. She killed it. It looked like she was having some fun up there.'
