Travis Kelce Wants to Open for Taylor Swift as a DJ: ‘You Know I'm a Hype Man'
Travis Kelce is interested in joining the DJ scene — and he knows exactly who he'd open for if he does. On the latest episode of New Heights posted Wednesday (June 4), he conversed with this week's guest, Shaquille O'Neal, about wanting to get behind the turntables, with both athletes agreeing that the tight end would be the perfect 'hype man' at Taylor Swift's concerts. The topic first came up shortly after Travis and his brother/cohost, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, introduced the basketball icon. Praising Shaq for his DJing skills, the Grotesquerie star asked him to 'teach me your ways.'

'You know what [would be] crazy? You opening up with your girlfriend. Bro, you'd be a f–king star. Ten minutes hyping up the crowd, oh my God.' Travis then laughed with excitement at the prospect. 'Come on, you know I'm a hype man,' he said as Jason cackled. 'You know I'm a hype man. Get it rocking in there. Have the Swifties bouncing off the walls before T gets out there.' With the 'Fortnight' singer's global Eras Tour ending last December, the Kansas City Chiefs star will have to wait until the next time she hits the road to put his own DJ skills to the test. He did, however, get a taste of what it's like to perform alongside Swift before her last tour wrapped, making a surprise onstage cameo during one of her Wembley Stadium shows in June last year. As far as being Swift's 'hype man' goes, Travis has plenty of experience in that department. The NFL star often publicly praises his famous girlfriend, from celebrating the release of her Billboard 200-topping The Tortured Poets Department album in April 2024 to commending her athleticism on the Eras Tour. The latest episode of New Heights was also no exception. Following their chat about his DJ ambitions with O'Neal, Travis later celebrated the 14-time Grammy winner's recent headline-making purchase of the master recordings to her first six albums, finally securing ownership of her back catalog after years of fighting to do so. After Shaq played Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' on his phone, the football player cheered, 'Shout-out to Tay Tay!' 'Just got that song back, too,' he added with a big smile. 'Just bought all her music back. So it's finally hers.' Watch Travis and Shaq's conversation on New Heights above.
