Oh, folks, buckle up because we’ve got ourselves a true blast from the past that’s lighting up the timeline faster than a Kelce touchdown on a cold December Sunday.
Back in 2010—yes, fifteen whole years ago—a young, wide-eyed Travis Kelce was just two years deep into his college career at Cincinnati. Twitter was still the Wild West, Instagram was barely a thing, and TikTok? Not even a twinkle. And in that delightful chaos of early social media, our now-Super Bowl champ and podcast king decided to share a bit of Easter cheer… in the most Travis Kelce way possible. “”Happy Easter to all! Shoutout to Jesus for takin one for the team… haha””
That’s right. With the swagger of a dude who just pulled off a two-point conversion, 20-year-old Travis delivered a tweet so on-brand it basically predicted his future stardom. And while that post sat in Twitter’s digital attic for a decade and a half, it just made a glorious comeback this Easter Sunday, going viral with a fresh wave of reposts and reactions. Because when the present-day Kelce goes off the radar—even briefly—the fans know exactly what to do: dig into the archives.
So where “is” Kelce these days? Alongside global megastar and billion-dollar pop phenom Taylor Swift, the couple has slipped into stealth mode. No public sightings this Easter. No Instagram stories of brunch or matching pastels. Just radio silence. Some Swifties and sports sleuths suspect they might be spending time in Philadelphia, especially with big brother Jason Kelce’s family welcoming a new baby. But the truth is, nobody knows—and that only adds fuel to the obsessive hunt for Easter eggs (literally and figuratively).
And just as this tweet started picking up steam, drama struck from another angle. Travis’s “New Heights” podcast dropped a fan survey… and let’s just say, not everyone was thrilled. Mixed in with innocent football banter and family dynamics were several references to Swift, like “I like feeling like part of the community that supports Taylor’s happiness outside of her music.” Sweet? Maybe. Smart? Debatable. Swifties? Not having it.
Critics jumped on the phrasing, calling it “embarrassing,” “clout-chasing,” and just plain “gross.” The pitchforks came out, and Twitter turned into a full-blown town hall. “Why would they do this?” some asked. Others were more direct: “Why did you let Wondery ask about Taylor in relation to your podcast?” One fan summed it up perfectly: “This is going to be so embarrassing.”
In the end, whether it’s 2010 tweets or 2025 podcast polls, one thing is certain: Travis Kelce lives rent-free in the public’s head. And love him or critique him, the man’s every move—past and present—will always be newsworthy. Especially when Easter eggs and actual Easter tweets collide.
