Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is putting on a show in Kansas City—the musical kind. And who better to serve as his muse than his pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift?

Months after his latest Super Bowl win, Kelce is expected to host his second annual “Kelce Jam” music festival at the Azura Amphitheater in Kansas City on May 18. The seven-hour festival will include performances by Lil Wayne, Diplo and 2 Chainz as well as feature local restaurant pop-ups.

In an interview about his upcoming music festival, Kelce was asked whether he learned anything from attending Swift’s widely acclaimed Eras Tour.

“Don’t try and be Taylor, that’s what I learned,” Kelce told The Hollywood Reporter. “Yeah, she’s on a whole other stratosphere. She’s the best at what she does for a reason. It’s because she’s so articulate and just very dialed into every single thing that she does. And that’s the beauty of it.”

Kelce accompanied Swift to several Eras Tour shows within the past year, including sets in Argentina, Singapore and Australia. He is also expected to support her when she continues her international tour in Europe this summer.

“I’d be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does, other than just enjoy the people that show up,” continued Kelce. “I think that’s one thing I could probably take away: She really relates to the people she’s performing in front of, and so I’ll take that.”
