Questlove Says Taylor Swift Takes Uno to a Whole New ‘Level of Excitement' at His Star-Studded Game Nights
Questlove knows Taylor Swift isn't playing around when it comes to game night.
On the Thursday, Feb. 6 episode of Hot Ones with Sean Evans, the director of the upcoming documentary Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) dished about his celebrity game nights — and how competitive it can get.
"So, I see these pictures from these epic game nights that you throw with A-list guests that go from everyone to J.J. Abrams to Tyler, the Creator to Taylor Swift," Evans, 38, said, asking the Grammy winner, 54, if he had a Mount Rushmore of games.

Questlove – nine spicy wings in at this point — listed Jenga, Operation and Clue, which has a "squad" for the "super dweebs," he said, calling the game Uno a "personality tester."
"It shows me who a person is in a matter of minutes," added the musician of the card game.
"Taylor actually, when she first played Uno with us, she took it to levels of excitement that I didn't know one could do in an Uno game," he continued of Swift, 35.
The Roots frontman had shared Polaroid pictures from his FOMO-inducing game night in August 2023. Swift, Gigi Hadid, Jason Sudeikis, Channing Tatum, Cara Delevingne and Trevor Noah were among the attendees battling it out over board and card games.

In October 2023, Questlove hosted another game night — this time, Chrissy Teigen, Tyler, the Creator and The Bear actor Lionel Boyce stopped by for Scrabble, Monopoly and Speak Out. "The Adventures in King of All Game Nights," Questlove called that particular evening's events.
'I have not been to an LA house party in many years because I thought I was too old but it turns out it's more fun when you are old and not on a mission to black out!!' Teigen, 39, wrote on Instagram about the game night alongside photos of her playing Speak Out.
"Thank you @questlove for a truly innocent ass, pure night of joy and laughter. I usually get so anxious talking to new people but you have such a nice group of friends, friend. These should be monthly," she continued. "Also uno still reigns supreme but speak out is up there if you are ok with people u have never met seeing you drool."

Advertisement Shaq, never one to hold back, brought his signature humor and larger-than-life presence to the show. The trio talked about everything from their playing careers and media work to behind-the-scenes moments and a shared love for music. But two highlights stole the spotlight: Travis asking O'Neal for DJ advice so he could one day open for his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Travis didn't hold back when he asked the four-time NBA champion. "You go to get me on the DJ booth, you got to teach me your ways, dog." O'Neal, known in music circles as DJ Diesel, replied: "I got you. I got you. You know what's crazy? You open up for your girlfriend and you'll be a [expletive] star." Advertisement That had both Kelce brothers cracking up, especially Travis, who added, "You know I'm a hype man. You know I'm a hype man. I'll have Swifties bouncing off the wall before Tay gets out there." Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Deutsch-Imagn Images Travis Kelce is gearing up for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran tight end, who turns 36 this year, played with Kansas City since being drafted in 2013 and helped lead the team to three Super Bowl victories.

You never quite know what you're going to get when it comes to Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast, "New Heights." Episode 143 just dropped, and it was full of entertaining moments from the always-engaging brothers. Advertisement Last week, Travis and his girlfriend Taylor Swift made headlines for attending Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals in Sunrise, Florida. Although Edmonton won that game, Florida clinched the series on Tuesday night. On the podcast, the Kelces talked briefly about their recent travels, but one standout moment was Travis sharing his thoughts on underrated movies. His pick? "Pretty Woman" starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. He mentioned that he and Taylor have been meaning to watch it. 'That's been on me and Tay's movie list for a while.' The episode had plenty more to offer, including a fun segment where their mom joined the cast of the reality show "Traitors."

Here's what he said about returning. "I think the biggest thing is that I [expletive] love playing the game of football. I love playing. I still feel like I can play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. I don't think it was my best outing." he said. Advertisement "I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I've been in years past. I want to give it a good run. I got a bad taste in my mouth in how I ended last year, and how well I was playing and how accountable I was to the people around me." Kansas City opens its preseason schedule on Aug. 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. The regular season kicks off Sept. 5 in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Travis Kelce's Latest Commerical Appearances Catches Attention on Thursday
Travis Kelce's Latest Commerical Appearances Catches Attention on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Travis Kelce is everywhere these days. The Kansas City Chiefs' tight end is a staple on commercials, podcasts and red carpets. His relationship with Taylor Swift keeps him in the spotlight, but off the field, he's also become a savvy businessman with an eye for opportunity. Advertisement As he prepares for the 2025 NFL season, Kelce is diving deeper into business and branding. He's adding new investments, expanding existing partnerships, and staying top of mind through bold ventures. One of those ventures made headlines Thursday when Garage Beer released a short video featuring Kelce promoting their brand in classic, tongue-in-cheek style. The clip, titled 'Travis Kelce: Serious Business Guy,' shows him at the fictional 'Garage Beer HQ' typing furiously on a computer while narrating his thoughts on investing. 'People ask me about my investment all the time,' Kelce says in the clip. 'I tell them, just as I'm looking at the market go up and up and down just today.' Advertisement Then he pauses and delivers the punchline: 'One thing stays the Flavored Beer.' He laughed and said, 'That's the whole strategy.' This caught the attention of many online. "I love Beer flavored beer," said here. Another agreed: "We all love beer flavored Beer." This fan loved it: "And I can watch him watch the market go up and down up and down all day today." Added by this commenter: "Travis has such a great laugh!" "As someone who watches the market go up and down every day, I approve this message," mentioned by this fan. Another approval here: "and the Oscar goes to… great job Trav!" Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (87).Stephen Lew-Imagn Images Garage Beer, based in Columbus, Ohio, was originally founded in Covington, Kentucky. The company has been independently owned since 2018 and takes a lighthearted approach to marketing. On their website, they describe their product like this: Advertisement 'Most beer brands use this space to tell you about their rich history, super secret brewing techniques, or how their founder had a vision of ancient yeast strains after getting lost in Europe. Our story? We just really like light beer. So we made one that we think brings you back to the way American light beer used to be made. And a lime one too.' They keep it simple. Their pitch: 95 calories, crisp, refreshing and proudly dubbed Beer Flavored Beer™. In June 2024, Travis and his brother Jason Kelce purchased a significant stake in Garage Beer, becoming its largest investors. This marked Travis's second venture into the alcohol space, following his involvement with Casa Azul Tequila Soda in February 2023. Kelce's expanding business interests reflect his growing presence beyond football. While he turns 36 midway through the 2025 season and has openly considered retirement in the past, he remains committed to the Chiefs, returning after their Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Advertisement Even while juggling football and business, Kelce finds time for community outreach. Last season, he helped donate 25,000 breakfast meals to those in need. His brand portfolio also includes deals with Nike, Dick's Sporting Goods, Papa John's and Old Spice. Whether it's food, fashion or fragrance, Kelce's influence continues to grow. From touchdowns to tequila, from Taylor Swift to Beer Flavored Beer, Travis Kelce is building a legacy that stretches well beyond the football field.
