00:00Don't try and be Taylor. That's what I learned. Yeah, that's she's on a whole nother stratosphere.
00:05She's the best of what she does for a reason. It's because she's so articulate and just very
00:10dialed into every single thing that she she does. Travis Kelsey is revealing what he's learned about
00:15putting on a concert from his girlfriend Taylor Swift ahead of his second annual Kelsey Jam Music
00:20Festival. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about bringing back the
00:24Fest for the second year in a row. Doing Kelsey Jam last year, having 20,000 going out to Azura Ampletheater
00:32to celebrate our Super Bowl win and just to have a fun music and food fest. It was such a blast that I had
00:40to do it again this year. So this is the official launch that we're going to be back at the same
00:46Ampletheater in KC May 18th. So excited. I wanted to keep it fresh and keep it new. So this year we
00:54asked Lil Wayne Diplo and 2 Chainz to come out and perform and of course we still got DJ Irie and
01:00my guy DJ Evie jumping it off. The hometown kid got to show the hometown love but it's going to be so
01:06much fun and I cannot wait to get back out and celebrate with KC man. It's just a blast every
01:11single time we can get together to celebrate this back to back. Since last year's Kelsey Jam,
01:17the NFL Pro started dating superstar musician Taylor Swift. When asked what he's learned from Swift
01:21about hosting a major live music event, Kelsey said this. Don't try and be Taylor. That's what
01:26I learned. Yeah, that's she's on a whole nother stratosphere. She's the best of what she does for
01:31a reason. It's because she's so articulate and just very dialed into every single thing that she
01:37does. And that's the beauty of it. I'd be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does
01:44other than, you know, just enjoy the people that show up. You know, I think that's one thing I could
01:50probably take away is she really, you know, relates to the to the people she's performing
01:55in front of. And so I'll take that. Last year, Kelsey joined Machine Gun Kelly on stage at the
02:00festival. So is there any chance he might perform again this year? I don't know about performing.
02:05I might leave that up to the to the professionals, you know, but you'll see me up there with the mic
02:10having some fun and trying to keep the crowd hype and everybody, you know, excited for the next act.
02:16But yeah, I can't help myself, man. Once I got a mic in my hand, you never know what I'll do.
02:22While it remains to be seen if Kelsey will perform at the fest, the football star has spoken openly
02:26about his entertainment industry aspirations, saying he'd love to do more scripted comedy
02:30after hosting Saturday Night Live. He gave fans this update on his Hollywood ventures.
02:35I'm out here in L.A. trying to get more comfortable in the entertainment world before we start back up with
02:41this football thing, knowing that that's that's my main focus in my life. And it will always be that
02:46until I until I'm done playing. But I'm definitely still dabbling in the descriptive world, the
02:52entertainment world. And we'll just see. We'll see where that road takes me. I'm extremely excited.
02:57But at the same time, I know I'm a bit of an amateur in that world. So I definitely got to, you know,
03:02get comfortable and kind of put my own creativity on it.
03:06Kelsey Jam, presented by Jim Beam, will take over Kansas City, Missouri on Saturday, May 18th.
03:11Tickets go on sale Friday, April 5th. Fans can currently register for the ticket presale on
