00:00 "Do you feel like you're a security guard when you're with Taylor?"

00:03 "I'm like protective. Yeah, for sure."

00:05 Travis Kelce says he's protective when he's with Taylor Swift.

00:10 "I love it."

00:11 And opens up about the terrifying moment Taylor spoke with his dad.

00:15 "Yeah, Taylor talking to dad. I felt terrible. I felt terrible for Taylor."

00:20 It all goes down on the latest episode of Travis and his brother Jason's podcast,

00:24 New Heights, as the two recap Travis and Taylor's whirlwind trip to New York City

00:28 over the weekend, where the Chiefs' tight end made a cameo on Saturday Night Live.

00:34 "When we get back, we are going to speak with someone who actually wants to talk football."

00:39 "Yes!"

00:41 "I don't even remember what I said. I blacked out."

00:46 And Taylor introduced the musical guest to her pal and collaborator Ice Spice.

00:51 "Once again, Ice Spice."

00:55 "I was like, man, I'd be honored. And yeah, it was pretty cool. And then

01:00 Taylor also made the surprise cameo, introducing her good friend."

01:05 But it was the viral moment where Travis was seen placing his hand on a security guard's back

01:10 while out on the town with Taylor that had everyone talking.

01:13 "I think he's protecting her. He's taking the lead. He's watching out for her. He knows where

01:20 he's gonna go. He's not wishy-washy. He's very direct. But there's also that real kindness about

01:28 him."

01:29 "Get any pushback from the actual security guards about pushing him out of the way the one night?"

01:33 "I didn't push him. I placed my hand on the gentleman's back to let him know I was behind him."

01:38 All that echoes what a source told ET about the moment. Quote, "At one point,

01:43 he actually told her security guard that he could step aside. Like, he'd take it from here."

01:48 "I set myself up on the tee for that one."

01:50 "Do you feel like you're a security guard when you're with Taylor?"

01:53 "I feel like whenever I'm on a date, I'm always having the sense of, like,

01:57 I'm a man in this situation. I'm, like, protective. Yeah, for sure."

02:03 The moment marked the singer and the NFL Pro's first public appearance together,

02:07 holding hands as they made their way into the Saturday Night Live afterparty,

02:12 where an eyewitness tells ET they looked happy to be with each other,

02:15 and kissed throughout the evening.

02:18 "I'm just here to have fun."

02:19 Prior to their NYC getaway, Taylor attended Travis' game against the Denver Broncos,

02:24 where cameras cut to Taylor chatting with the Kansas City Chiefs star's dad, Ed Kelsey.

02:29 "I love the fact that she's more casual. This tells you a lot about the relationship,

02:34 that the two of them feel very comfortable around one another."

02:37 "Yeah, Taylor talking to dad, you already know, you know dad like I know dad."

02:43 "Which is, he shouldn't be talking to Taylor Swift."

02:45 "This is a terrifying conversation. I felt terrible. I felt terrible for Taylor."

02:50 "If you see dad talking to anybody and you can't hear what's happening,

02:53 who knows where that conversation's going."

02:55 "You never know what it's gonna be."

02:57 All jokes aside, the brothers were quick to shower Papa Kelsey with praise.

03:02 "Our dad is the best f---ing dad in the world."

03:04 "He is."

03:04 Taylor has also been spotted chatting it up at the games with Travis' mom, Donna.

03:10 "It was nice because, you know, mom has been getting quite a bit of the spotlight,

03:14 so it was cool to see dad up there on the jumbotron for a little bit, or on the TV for a little bit."

03:18 "You know, I would assume there is a bet going on in Las Vegas on how many times

03:22 they're gonna show me on television."

03:24 And it's safe to say Ed is officially a Swiftie,

03:27 because Travis said his dad's been blasting Taylor's music.

03:31 "I wanna be your endgame. I wanna be your first to win. I wanna be your O.T. and your X in F."

03:40 "Now you cannot fangirl about that."

03:43 But Travis' dad isn't the only Taylor fan in Travis' inner circle.

03:47 His coach, Andy Reid, is, too.

03:50 "She's a good girl, man. She's into it. And that's, uh, we're glad she's here."

03:54 And get this, Andy says he deserves at least some of the credit for setting Trav and Tay up.

04:00 "You know what, I've met her before. Adam, I set 'em up."

04:05 And on a new episode of OutKicks The Five Spot,

04:08 Andy revealed he has a long history with a Grammy winner.

04:12 "I knew her from Philadelphia, you know, I think. Her dad was a big NFL fan. So,

04:18 I had met her when she was real young and, uh, and her dad. And so,

04:22 you know, I joked about setting Kelsey up, but I'm, you know, I'm just saying, you know."
