Travis Kelce Reflects on Epic Pranks Pulled by Taylor Swift & Justin Bieber on ‘Punk’d’
Taylor Swift’s Punk’d episode may have aired over a decade ago, but the memories still have fans laughing, including NFL star Travis Kelce.
On a recent episode of the New Heights podcast hosted by Travis and his brother Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end reminisced about the time when the pop star appeared on Ashton Kutcher’s prank show in 2012. Taylor Swift fell victim to a hilarious prank orchestrated by guest comedian Andrew Santino and, of course, Justin Bieber.
The elaborate joke involved Bieber tricking Swift into setting off fake fireworks that supposedly ruined a private wedding ceremony in Malibu. Santino, who played the fake groom in the scenario, described how he yelled at Swift for ruining his wedding while she tried to assure the fake bride that it wasn’t a bad omen. The prank left Swift in tears until she realized it was all a setup by Bieber.
Travis Kelce couldn’t contain his laughter as Santino recounted the events that unfolded during the prank. The three-time Super Bowl champion expressed his admiration for the prank’s brilliance and joked that he needed to ask Taylor about her experience.
The podcast episode also touched on Travis Kelce’s post-game ritual of celebrating with friends and family in the suite after football games. He shared his gratitude for his journey and the opportunity to share his success with loved ones, highlighting the joy of being surrounded by both childhood friends and current companions.
During the 2023-24 season, Taylor Swift became a familiar face in the Kelce family suite at Arrowhead Stadium, supporting Travis as he played. She was also present at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium to celebrate Travis’s third Super Bowl victory in February, even joining the team on the field for the celebration.
The scenario described on the podcast bears a striking resemblance to the themes present in Taylor Swift’s song “The Alchemy” from her album “The Tortured Poets Department.” With lyrics hinting at triumphant moments and victory, fans speculate that the track may have been inspired by Travis Kelce.
