Travis Kelce, the renowned Kansas City Chiefs star, found himself in a humorous yet slightly embarrassing situation as an old Easter tweet of his resurfaced recently. During the latest episode of the ‘New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce’ podcast on April 23, Travis, aged 35, was playfully mocked by his brother and co-host, Jason Kelce, for a tweet dating back to Easter in 2010.
In a light-hearted banter on the podcast, Jason, who is 37 years old, gleefully introduced the ancient tweet: “We have potentially the greatest tweet ever tweeted on Easter day. This is the best thing ever.” Travis’ initial reaction to the tweet resurfacing was candid, admitting, “This is so f—— dumb,” setting the tone for the hilarity that followed.
The controversial tweet in question read, ‘Happy Easter to all. Shout out to Jesus for taking one for the team.’ Despite Travis deeming the tweet as ‘ridiculous,’ he and Jason engaged in jovial banter over its content, with Jason pointing out the amusing ‘Ha ha’ at the end. Travis explained that he wanted to ensure people understood he was joking and that the tweet was not to be taken too seriously.
Reflecting on the tweet’s content, Jason came to Travis’ defence, humorously remarking, “Listen. We don’t give Jesus enough shout-outs for taking one for the team if we’re all honest.” This light-hearted exchange showcased the close relationship between the Kelce brothers and their ability to find humour in situations, even when faced with unexpected resurfacing tweets.
The tweet, which had garnered 823 reposts and nearly 4000 likes when originally shared on April 4, 2010, resurfaced unexpectedly on Easter Sunday this year, leading to its eventual deletion by Travis. The viral moment came amidst Travis keeping a relatively low profile with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, following the conclusion of her Eras Tour in December 2024.
Reports suggest that Travis and Taylor are currently enjoying a break from the public spotlight, focusing on private time together and travelling extensively. An insider shared that the couple is “very serious and in sync” and cherishing their time away from the public eye. The source added that the pair are making the most of their downtime, surrounded by friends and relishing in this special period of their relationship.
As Travis Kelce navigates through this light-hearted Twitter debacle, his loyal fans continue to support him, recognizing his genuine nature and ability to laugh at himself. Whether on the football field or in the realm of social media, Travis remains a beloved figure known for his talent, charisma, and now, his ability to poke fun at his past tweets.
In conclusion, Travis Kelce’s recent encounter with his decade-old Easter tweet serves as a reminder that even celebrities are not immune to moments of humour and self-deprecation. As he and his brother, Jason, showcased on their podcast, laughter truly is the best medicine, even when confronted with the resurfacing of past social media posts.
As Travis and Taylor Swift continue to relish in their private time together, fans eagerly await their next public appearances, appreciating the couple’s dedication to each other amidst the demands of their respective careers. Travis Kelce’s endearing response to his viral tweet only serves to reinforce his charm and down-to-earth nature, endearing him further to his devoted fan base.
