Travis Kelce made a surprise cameo during the 49th season premiere episode of Saturday Night Live during a sketch that poked fun at his very public romance with Taylor Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, caused a frenzy in the audience as he suddenly appeared on the show – which was hosted by SNL alum, Pete Davidson, 29, following the end of the WGA strike late last month.

The humorous skit kicked off as a Fox NFL Sunday pregame show, with comedians Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day, James Austin Johnson, Molly Kearney and Devon Walker taking on roles as hosts – with Davidson later also showing up in the skit.

The group was preparing for the game against the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the New York Jets. ‘It’s week 7, and if any Taylor Swift fans are watching, the Chiefs game was on Thursday, you just missed her,’ Thompson began.

The hosts shared a laugh, with Mikey’s character, Howie Long, stating, ‘Listen, sorry Swifties, this is a show about football. It’s a sport. Ask your dad.’

‘All right, all right. Let’s get into the game and stop yapping about Taylor and her little boyfriend,’ Kenan added. However, everyone else at the table suddenly let out small gasps of shock, while also muttering, ‘Woah.’ 

‘Boyfriend?’ Mikey Day asked. ‘Hold on there, no one said boyfriend. Let’s no jump to conclusions here.’

James – who played Jimmy Johnson – added, ‘Yeah, yeah. They’re hanging out. They’re taking their time, and I think that’s great.’

Kearney, who portrayed Terry Bradshaw, stated, ‘Jimmy, I really have to disagree. She’s in the luxury box hanging with mama Kelsey, knocking back cocktails with Deadpool, folks, they’re official,’ referencing to the Chiefs vs. Jets game where swift brought along her A-list friends, including Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
