Travis Kelce’s embarrassing Oscars party mistake with Taylor Swift

American actor Billy Eichner recalled a hilarious misunderstanding between him and Travis Kelce at an Oscars party earlier this year.

On a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Eichner revealed that he saw the Kansas City Chiefs tight end with popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift at an afterparty hosted by Madonna.

The comedian shared that Kelce enthusiastically introduced himself to Eichner but butchered one detail – his first name.

‘All of a sudden, I feel a very strong, like bro-y, pat on my back,’ Eichner explained. ‘It was a masculine man, Jimmy. I turn around. I’m 6’3, right? So I’m not used to looking up and actors are pretty short.

‘So I turn around, and I feel this pat on my back, and I turn around and it’s Travis Kelce,’ he added.

‘In a very loud, booming voice in a house full of the most famous people in the world, Travis Kelce looks at me and goes, “Jimmy on the motherf***ing Street! I love you, man,”‘ he continued, noting his show entitled ‘Billy on the Street.’

‘This literally happened, and he’s beaming. He’s so happy to see me. And it’s Travis Kelce, who, I’m not expecting would know who I am at all, and he says, “Jimmy on the Street.”‘

Eichner then laughed about how he could not ‘bring myself to correct him’ as Kelce ‘said it with such confidence.’

‘He looked so happy to see me like I could tell he was a fan,’ Eichner joked. ‘He’s Travis Kelce, he’s huge. He’s standing there with Taylor Swift, you know. I didn’t know what to do.’

Eichner noted how Kelce reached out with a fist bump every time they crossed paths through the evening.

‘I don’t want to stereotype gay men, but I don’t ordinarily communicate via fist-bump, but I kept doing it,’ Eichner quipped.

The Lion King star also suggested that maybe Kelce might have seen Kimmel, who was also at the party and got their names mixed up. However, the Late Night host thought otherwise.

‘I don’t think he talked to me at all,’ Kimmel said. ‘No, I don’t think I did talk to him.’

‘I do want to say though, he has an open invitation to appear with me on “Jimmy on the Street,”‘ Eichner added, telling Kimmel, ‘You can join us.’

‘That way we can really confuse him,’ Kimmel replied, warranting a laugh from the audience.

Eichner also joked about intentionally mixing Swift’s name with another singer to tease her NFL boyfriend.

‘Yeah, and he was with Taylor, I didn’t get to say hi to her,’ Eichner explained. ‘She was talking to someone, but it would have been funny if I turned to her and said, “Oh my God, Sara Bareilles, I love you.”‘
