Mic’d up footage reveals emotional moment between Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift after Super Bowl LVIII
The NFL is planning to release its Mic’d up footage on Tuesday night from Super Bowl LVIII. To tease the exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage, the league shared a clip of the moment Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce found his superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift in the crowd after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
In the teaser clip, Kelce thanks Swift for traveling across the world to make it to the game following her shows in Tokyo, Japan last week. The 14-time Grammy Award-winning artist made it to Las Vegas in the nick of time with her crew of friends, which included Blake Lively and Ice Spice on Sunday night.
“I can’t believe you, I can’t believe you,” Swift says as Kelce asks if the game was “electric,” “How did you do that?” According to the announcement, the mic’d up coverage will begin at 8 p.m. ET on The CW on Tuesday.
The NFL’s mic’d up footage may also reveal details of another eye-catching moment from Super Bowl LVIII – Kelce’s second-quarter spat with Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
Kelce answers for in-game spat with Andy Reid
Following the 25-22 Super Bowl LVIII victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Kelce addressed the very heated in-game argument he had with head coach Andy Reid during the second quarter. The tight end, who yelled at Reid, bumping him in the process, opted to keep things in-house.
“Man, I’m gonna keep it between us. … I was just telling him how much I love him,” Kelce told Booger McFarland of ESPN.
With Kansas City driving into the red zone and threatening to score for the first time in the game, running back Isiah Pacheco fumbled the football and turned it over. Kelce was not on the field for the play, apparently drawing his ire. He was seen on the sidelines yelling at Reid, which happened after he had already thrown his helmet down in frustration.
Reid later gave his perspective on what happened between him and Kelce. The head coach chalked it up to his tight end’s competitive fire.
“He wasn’t looking. He didn’t know I was gonna go that far,” Reid said. “So, after that he came over gave me a hug. Said ‘sorry about that.’ But you know what? He just wants to be on the field, and he wants to play. And so, there’s nobody I get better than I get him. He’s a competitive kid and you know, he loves to play, and he makes me feel young. You know, but my balance is terrible Booger.”
