CELEBRITY
Travis Kelce JOKES White House security said he’d be TASED if he made speech on Chiefs visit
Travis Kelce was on his best behavior as President Biden welcomed the Kansas City Chiefs to the White House Friday to celebrate their second consecutive Super Bowl win.
After he attempted to — and failed at — making a speech during last year’s celebration, Biden poked fun at the Kelce by giving him his moment at the presidential podium — during which he claimed the tight end would get tased if he tried anything silly.
“My fellow Americans, it’s nice to see you all yet again,” Kelce, 34, began with a beaming grin as the crowd laughed.
“I’m not going to lie, President Biden. They told me if I came up here I’d get tased, so I’m going back to my spot, alright?”
Biden, 81, gave Kelce an approving handshake before the latter stood by his teammates.
His brother, recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, also gave him a nod of approval after the stunt.
“Man, Im not gonna lie, that was tight. Well done @tkelce, doesn’t get much cooler than that!” he tweeted.
Travis and the Chiefs, which include quarterback Patrick Mahomes and recently criticized kicker Harrison Butker, were welcomed to the White House to celebrate winning Super Bowl LVIII — their third championship title in five years.
It marks the team’s second trip to the White House in a row.
