Travis Kelce Conjured Beastie Boys After Chiefs’ AFC Title Game Win, and Taylor Swift Loved It

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end recalled an iconic song lyric to celebrate his team’s Super Bowl berth, and his significant other couldn’t help but laugh.

It’s good to be Travis Kelce.

The superstar tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs is headed to the fourth Super Bowl of his career amid a season-long romance with pop star Taylor Swift.

Kelce played a big role in his team’s 17–10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in the AFC championship game. He registered 11 catches for 116 yards and one touchdown and eclipsed Jerry Rice for the NFL career postseason receptions record.

After the victory, Kelce was interviewed by CBS commentator Jim Nantz, who asked the nine-time Pro Bowl selection about his breaking Rice’s record. Kelce saluted the Hall of Famer and then took the conversation to a much different place by shouting a quote from the iconic 1986 Beastie Boys album, Licensed to Ill.

“Shout out to Jerry Rice, baby,” Kelce said. “The Chiefs are still the Chiefs, and believe it: You gotta fight for your right to party!”

Swift couldn’t help but laugh.

Kelce wrapped up his brief interview with Nantz by shouting out the site of Super Bowl LVIII and his team’s intent to capture a third Lombardi Trophy in five seasons.

“Believe it baby, we’re going to Las Vegas, Nevada, to get another one,” Kelce said.
