Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce recently shared a hilarious story about how he feared for his life after accidentally breaking a $10,000 chair belonging to his fiancée, pop superstar Taylor Swift. The NFL tight end revealed the incident during an appearance on his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce’s podcast, Not Gonna Lie.
The mishap occurred while Swift was away, giving Travis and his brother Jason Kelce time to devise a repair plan. “Should I just super glue it and, like, the next person that sits in it breaks it?” Travis joked. However, the plan quickly fell apart when he realized the damage was too severe, noting it would require “a whole roll of duct tape” to fix the chair properly.
When Taylor returned home, Travis admitted he presented the broken chair to her personally, feeling guilty. “I have never seen you sit in this chair, you didn’t care about it, right?” he recalled telling her. Fans can breathe easy: Swift reportedly took the incident in good humor, despite the chair’s hefty price tag.
Adding a humorous twist, Travis partially blamed the mishap on Swift’s baking skills, joking that her treats contributed to his “no job January” weight gain, indirectly leading to the chair disaster.
The story quickly went viral online, showing a lighter, playful side to the couple’s high-profile relationship. It also highlights the fun and relatable moments even celebrity couples experience when dealing with costly household accidents.
Swift and Kelce’s fans have widely celebrated the story, noting that it captures the NFL star’s candid humor and Swift’s good-natured personality. The couple continues to enjoy life together, proving that even a $10,000 mishap can’t derail their romance.
