Travis Kelce enjoyed a rare NFL weekend off.
The star Chiefs tight end made the best of his free time, fitting in a trip to New York City with Taylor Swift that included separate cameos on “Saturday Night Live” for the rumored couple.
Kelce appeared in a skit that was mocking the Swift mania that has swept the NFL since the Grammy winner showed up at a Chiefs-Bears game last month.
The 34-year-old said he didn’t even know he was going to be a part of the show until they showed up and asked him.
“I don’t even remember what I said, I blacked out,” Travis told older brother Jason Kelce, the Eagles’ star center, on their “New Heights” podcast Wednesday.
“As soon as they cued to me the entire place erupted, which was very overwhelming and I am not even sure if I said anything. I walked off and I said, ‘Did I say anything at all?’ They were like: ‘You killed it.’”
Kelce had previously hosted “SNL” in March coming off the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over Jason’s Eagles.
His profile has risen significantly since then, thanks to his budding romance with Swift, 33.
The singer has been to three of Kelce’s past four games, including the Chiefs’ Thursday night win over the Broncos in Week 6.
Swift and Kelce then traveled to New York for a date-filled weekend.
They went to Nobu for dinner before “SNL” and then went to the afterparty, where, according to Page Six, they were “kissing throughout the night.”
“We showed up to ‘SNL’ having the idea of supporting Ice Spice, her and Taylor are good friends,” Kelce said. “I’ve always wanted to meet Pete Davidson, been a fan of his since he was actually on ‘SNL.’
“It was electric to be back at that place. There is just something about being back in that room and being their first episode of the season. It was such a freaking blast. It was a star-studded backroom… It was awesome.”
Kelce then went solo to the Eagles-Jets game on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
Jason’s Eagles were upset by the Jets, 20-14, though Travis did get a friendship bracelet for his troubles.
The brothers then took in the Phillies’ Game 1 NLCS win over the Diamondbacks on Monday night at Citizens Bank Park before heading back to their NFL jobs.
