Travis Kelce reacts to Prince William’s cheeky confession about viral Taylor Swift selfie

Travis Kelce has no hard feelings toward Prince William after the latter cheekily admitted he tried to push the NFL star out of his viral selfie with Taylor Swift at the 2024 Eras Tour.

“I get it, man,” the Kansas City Chiefs star told his brother and co-host, Jason Kelce, on Wednesday’s episode of their “New Heights” podcast.

“I was just a boyfriend at that point. I wasn’t her husband yet.”

Travis, 37, quipped that William, 44, likely thought, “We don’t really know if this is going to last, so can you just kind of move out of the way really quick? So we can keep this photo forever?”

Jason chimed in, joking that he hopes the athlete and Swift’s romance “doesn’t go south,” and shared an edited photo — without Travis — of the Grammy winner posing with William and his eldest kids, Prince George, 13, and Princess Charlotte, 11, backstage at the Eras Tour stop in June 2024.

Travis’ response comes after William playfully recalled trying “to move” him out of his photo with Swift, 35.

“Travis kept coming back in, and I couldn’t work out why he kept coming back in,” the Prince of Wales shared on Friday’s episode of “The Graham Norton Show.”

“I was trying to move him out so it was just me and Taylor and the children!”

The photo ultimately went viral when Swift shared it on Instagram to celebrate the start of her shows in the UK.

The iconic selfie, however, also marked a major milestone in Swift and Kelce’s relationship because it was the first time either of them had posted each other on social media since their romance began in mid-2024.

William admitted on “The Graham Norton Show” that he initially “wasn’t aware” of the photos’ “significance” until recently, adding, “I hadn’t appreciated the significance.”

At the concert, William enjoyed his night out with his kids, as he was seen grooving to the pop icon’s 2014 hit “Shake It Off.”

William’s wife, Princess Kate Middleton, and their youngest son, Prince Louis, 8, weren’t in attendance.

Swift and Kelce, meanwhile, got engaged in August 2025 during a fairytale garden proposal at the tight end’s Missouri home.

The A-listers tied the knot in a star-studded wedding ceremony hosted at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 3.
