Kelce’s appearance at the Chiefs panel event comes right after the tight end, and his brother Jason Kelce released the first episode of the podcast’s third season, where Grotesquery star gushed over his girlfriend with actor Adam Sandler.

“By the way, what a girl. What a girl,” Sandler, 57, said of Swift in the episode, to which Travis responded, “You know that. You know it. The best performer here.”

“Man, it means so much to our house,” Sandler said, telling Travis that his family was excited when the couple started dating. “Like, whenever Taylor laughs with you, my whole freaking family is like a five-time beat,” the actor said.

Travis enjoyed Sandler’s support and admitted, “You made me sweat here,” during the segment.

Travis and the Chiefs begin their NFL season on Sept. 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.
