Travis Kelce wants to open for Taylor Swift as a DJ

Travis Kelce is setting his sights on the DJ booth — and he’s already dreaming about who he’d open for.

On the June 4 episode of New Heights, the Kansas City Chiefs star chatted with this week’s guest, Shaquille O’Neal, about his interest in DJing. The conversation kicked off after Travis and his brother/cohost, retired NFL center Jason Kelce, welcomed the basketball legend and praised Shaq’s skills behind the decks. He of course, is known in our world as DJ DIESEL.

“Teach me your ways,” Travis told the NBA Hall of Famer, referring to Shaq’s DJ alter ego, DJ Diesel. Shaq replied:

“Bro, I got you. You know what would be crazy? You opening up with your girlfriend. You’d be a f–king star. Ten minutes hyping the crowd — oh my God.”

Travis lit up at the idea. “Come on, you know I’m a hype man,” he said, laughing. “Get it rocking in there. Have the Swifties bouncing off the walls before T gets out there.”

While Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour wrapped in December, Travis has already gotten a taste of life on stage. He made a surprise appearance during one of Swift’s sold-out Wembley Stadium shows last year — and he’s long been her No. 1 cheerleader offstage, too. From hyping her chart-topping Tortured Poets Department to applauding her stamina on tour, he’s fully embraced the role of Swift’s ultimate hype man.

Later in the episode, the couple’s synergy came up again when Shaq played Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” from his phone, prompting Travis to shout, “Shout-out to Tay Tay!”

He then grinned and added, “Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back. So it’s finally hers.”
