Today, Kelce made an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” during which, he gave a clever nod to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The namesake host asked Kelce how he was feeling, as he was hot off the first-round bye in the NFL playoffs. Kelce responded with a clever nod to one of Swift’s biggest hits.

"I'm fired up, I'm feeling 22 all over again, baby," Kelce said. “Let’s go!”

McAfee and crew immediately caught onto the reference, and they even started singing and dancing to the song. As the allusion was rather obvious, Kelce admitted he wasn’t trying to be sneaky with the reference.

 "I was hoping you caught the reference, baby,” Kelce said.

Kelce’s appearance on the show comes ahead of their upcoming NFL Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans, which is set to take place Saturday, Jan. 18. He told McAfee that he’s "ready to rock and roll" ahead of this Saturday, as the Texans arrive to Arrowhead Stadium.
