Travis Kelce couldn't connect with Taylor Swift during her recent Eras tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium.

On the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast with brother Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed he tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. However, to his dismay, the pop star wouldn't meet with him.

"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her," Travis said. "... If you're up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it."

While Travis was disappointed he wasn't able to shoot his shot at Swift, he still enjoyed the concert.

"She doesn't meet anybody - or at least she didn't want to meet me, so I took it personal. But it was an unbelievable show and, honestly, Kansas City showed out," he said. "I've only seen Arrowhead filled like that for Chiefs games with that much excitement and, yeah, everybody was dressed in pink and purple going crazy for her. It was wild."

Jason suggested that Swift may still be bitter about the Super Bowl, as she recently confirmed rumors that she is, in fact, a Philadelphia Eagles fan. The Chiefs defeated the Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII.
