Travis Kelce and Chiefs Teammates Confused by TV Series References

Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates recently faced a lighthearted moment when questioned about their familiarity with the popular television series, The Summer I Turned Pretty. During a video segment, most players displayed confusion regarding the characters Jeremiah and Conrad, revealing a surprising gap in their knowledge of the show.

The 35-year-old NFL star, Kelce, reacted with disbelief, exclaiming, “What?!” as his teammates struggled to identify the main characters. While many players were unaware of the reference, there were a few, including quarterback Bailey Zappe, who recognized the show and its plot revolving around summer romance and drama.

Zappe humorously speculated whether the query pertained to Love Island, another well-known reality series. He took the time to explain to his fellow teammates that they should align themselves with Team Conrad, declaring, “Just say you’re Team Conrad. Jeremiah cheated on her. He cheated on Belly,” referring to the show’s central conflict.

Interestingly, Kelce’s connection to The Summer I Turned Pretty goes beyond mere fanfare. His girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, has songs featured prominently in the series and its promotional materials. This connection did not go unnoticed by fans and fellow actors alike.

Actress Greer Grammer commented on the video, playfully pointing out, “TRAVIS. Your girlfriend is basically IN the show at this point!!! Cmon 😭😭😭” This humorous exchange highlights the blending of sports and entertainment, showcasing how cultural references can create unexpected moments among athletes.

Despite the initial confusion, this lighthearted interaction among teammates reflects the camaraderie within the Chiefs organization. Such moments are essential in building a cohesive team environment, even if they revolve around topics outside of football.

As the NFL season continues, fans can expect more engaging interactions from the Chiefs players, blending their athletic prowess with cultural references that resonate with a broader audience.
