Christmas didn’t go asTravis Kelcehad envisioned it would, but the Chiefs tight end’s girlfriend helped cheer him up.
On Friday’s bonus episode ofNew Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,Travis, 34, said Christmas was “f—ing the worst, not gonna lie,” after Jason’s wife,Kylie Kelce, asked how his holiday went.
“I’ve had better,” Travis continued, alluding to theChiefs' loss against the Las Vegas Raiders, their AFC West rivals, 20-14 on Christmas Day.
However, the holiday improved as the day went on, the tight end shared, and he hinted at some quality time spent withTaylor Swift.
“But it ended well, with good Christmas cheer and great people, and that’s always gonna save Christmas — no matter if you lose to the Raiders or not.”
Taylor, 34, and her family were in attendance at Monday’s game, with her brother,Austin, dressing in a full Santa suit and her mom,Andrea, sporting a Chiefs Santa hat as they supported Travis from his suite at Arrowhead Stadium. Travis’ dad, Ed Kelce, was also in attendance at the game andwatched from the same suite as the Swift family.
Despite the tough loss,Travis left the stadium hand-in-hand with Taylor, which likely underscores the day ending “well,” as he told Kylie.
As for how Christmas went in the other Kelce household, Kylie said that for her, Jason andtheir three daughters: Wyatt, 3, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 10 months, “Christmas was great.”
She hadpreviously told PEOPLEthat Jason’s Christmas Day game against the New York Giants had led the family to decide to postpone the celebration until the 26th.
“Lucky for us, our girls cannot read a calendar yet, so we are going to take full advantage of that and pretend that Christmas is the 26th,” she shared earlier this month.
However, in Friday’s podcast episode, Kylie said they “lucked out” as Jason’s schedule “allowed him to be home Monday morning, so we were able to do gifts Monday morning and then dinner the 26th.”

Kylie’s appearance on the podcast also saw her give a shout-out to Taylor’s brother, Austin, 31, for sporting a Santa suit at Monday’s game.
“That was a full commit, and I respect that,” she said of the look, to which Travis agreed.
“It was a full commit. And he killed it,” the tight end said beforerevealing the thoughtful gift that Austin gave him.
“He actually made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag,” Travis shared. “It was in the Santa sack, whew, [he] whipped it out and handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time.”
