CBS host Gayle King corrected on air after floating Travis Kelce DNC appearance despite Chiefs’ preseas…see more

Celebrities like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift were also rumored to make an appearance

The names of several A-listers were mentioned as possible surprise guests on the final night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), including celebrities like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, but one NFL star linked to Swift was also floated as a potential attendee.

The only problem? He was on the sidelines somewhere else.

CBS host Gayle King said Thursday that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had “reached out” to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign with interest in attending day four of the convention.

However, the Chiefs were slated to play in their final preseason game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium with an 8:20 p.m. kickoff time.

“The Taylor Swift rumor is interesting to me because I was told a couple of days ago that Travis Kelce also had reached out to the Harris campaign when it was first announced and said that he wanted to be here on the night that she was speaking. We’ll see if that is true,” said King.

However, she was quickly reminded by her co-hosts of Kelce’s scheduling conflict.
