Spade shared his comedic take on the dynamic between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. He shed light on the challenges they face as a high-profile couple. With Kelce jetting off to Sydney for his third Eras Tour show and Swift navigating her packed concert schedule, Spade imagined the playful banter between them. “That’s tough,” Spade quipped, launching into an improvised scenario where Kelce checks in with Swift about her performances, teasing her about her marathon five-hour shows.
But the comedian didn’t just focus on Kelce; he also empathized with Swift’s position. Particularly when she had to attend the Super Bowl. She made the 8,538-mile journey from Australia so that she could come to Chiefs’ game to support her NFL-star boyfriend. Spade said that Swift faces scrutiny from cameras and fans alike whenever she makes an appearance at the stadium. “Poor Taylor Swift, you know, those cameras are like snipers on her,” Spade joked, describing the pressure Swift feels to remain attentive throughout the game. “She really has to be there the whole time, ’cause everyone’s watching her watch the game … That’s stressful,” Spade added during his appearance on Kimmel.
But just a few months earlier he was singing a different tune.

Who brings Mom? “
