Taylor Swift thought Travis Kelce was ‘funny’ before they dated, ‘SNL’ star says
Travis Kelce was making Taylor Swift laugh months before the two lovebirds became a couple.
“Saturday Night Live” star Ben Marshall and his partners in the Please Don’t Destroy comedy trio, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy, recalled that the “Karma” singer was impressed with Kelce’s comedy chops when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end hosted the sketch comedy show in March 2023 following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win.
“We worked with both Taylor and Travis Kelce, like, before they got together,” Marshall said when Please Don’t Destroy appeared recently on Mike Birbiglia’s “Working It Out“ podcast.
“We — and we can cut this out if you guys don’t want to say this — but she kind of told us that she watched his ‘SNL’ episode and saw him in our video, and was like, ‘Oh, this guy seems funny,’” recalled Marshall.
