Travis Kelce behaved in the best way during his recent visit to the White House. During the celebration of the Kansas City Chiefs' victory in the Super Bowl with President Joe Biden on May 31, the NFL player briefly spoke at the lectern.
«My fellow countrymen. Glad to see you all again», - — said Travis, 34, referring to the Chiefs' multiple Super Bowl victories. «I won’t lie, President Biden. I was told that if I come here, I will be shocked. So I will return to my place».
Although everyone laughed at this joke, Travis revealed in an episode of the «New Heights» podcast on Wednesday, June 5, that he was indeed cautious.
«It's true. The Secret Service, which is all over the White House, was not so happy with me», - — he told his brother and podcast co-host Jason Kelce. «They were not happy with me the second time I came».
Visiting in 2023, Travis and his teammate Patrick Mahomes presented a jersey to President Biden before making a brief statement at the lectern. The brief remark turned out to be a big mistake, as Travis later learned.
«When I came [this year], four or five Secret Service members approached me», - — Travis recalled. «They said, 'You know that if you approach that lectern, we are authorized to shock you. We are even ordered to shock you.'»
The security also seemed to be watching Travis for another reason. The podcast host admitted that he made another mistake during his visit to the White House in 2023.
«Last time I talked about having an expired ID. They teased me about it», - — he said. «I made sure because last time I was embarrassed for coming to the White House with an expired ID, I made sure this time I brought my passport. I did everything right, because everyone has to do that in the White House».
Ultimately, Travis was able to have a positive — and safe — experience at the White House last month. Regardless of who is in charge of the country, the athlete also considers visiting this iconic place in Washington special.
«It's always an honor for me to go to the White House, man», - — he explained. «Every time I have the opportunity to be recognized by the President of the United States and go with my teammates and a group of men and women with whom I have had success to the point that we can be recognized, man, I do it every time. Regardless of who’s in charge, regardless of what’s happening in the world, I think it’s just a cool opportunity»
