00:05 and reveals whether they're spending Thanksgiving together.
00:08 Everybody's so invested in my off-the-field love life, man.
00:11 It all goes down on the latest episode
00:13 of the Kansas City Chiefs' Tight Ends podcast, New Heights,
00:16 which he co-hosts with his brother,
00:18 Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce,
00:21 where the two chat about the song they recorded together,
00:24 Fairy Tale of Philadelphia.

00:41 a Philly special Christmas special,
00:44 with the proceeds going to various charities.

01:06 On an earlier episode of New Heights,
01:08 Travis joked that he was looking forward
01:10 to receiving some vicious comments about his singing skills,
01:13 but he was pleasantly surprised by all the positivity.
01:17 We asked to keep the comments on the YouTube video
01:19 so we could see what you guys are saying,
01:21 and you guys did not disappoint.
01:23 I know Travis was expecting a roasting in the comments,
01:26 but trust me when I say this is anything but buns.
01:30 The song initially debuted at number eight
01:32 on Apple Music Charts following its November 15th release,
01:36 but Jason credits his brothers' girlfriends' fans
01:39 for helping them jump all the way to number one.
01:43 We owe a big thanks to one group in particular,
01:46 besides the 92%ers, and that's the Swifties,
01:48 'cause the Swifties came out.
01:50 1,000%. I sent out one tweet
01:51 when it got to eight,
01:53 and I got like 85 tweets from Swifties across the world
01:57 saying, "Oh, you think eight's good?
01:58 We're taking this to number one," and they did.
02:01 (laughing)
02:02 It's a powerful group.
02:03 It's a powerful group of people.
02:04 They're the ones who broke the record,
02:06 so that's what's amazing.
02:07 Yeah, safe to say, this Thanksgiving,
02:10 Travis is super grateful for his leading lady.
02:13 Thanks, Taylor.
02:14 Appreciate you, and thank you to the Swifties.
02:16 Well, we'll just have to wait and see
02:18 if Trav and Tay make any musical collabs,
02:21 but Travis did reveal that she doesn't plan
02:24 on making an appearance at his Thanksgiving this year.
02:27 I'll be feasting on KFC because I won't have anybody here.
02:32 (laughing)
02:34 You don't have anybody in there?
02:36 Yeah. Cooked turkey?
02:37 If you wanna make a quick trip,
02:38 you're welcome on the house trip.
02:39 Thanks, man.
02:40 We'll have plenty of food.
02:41 Thanks.
02:43 It's exactly what I wanted to do this week.
02:46 Taylor was also absent from Travis's game on Monday,
02:49 where he faced off against his brother's team
02:51 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
02:54 The Grammy winner had reportedly planned to attend the game,
02:56 but had to change plans due to a rescheduled concert
03:00 in Rio de Janeiro.
03:01 I would always like to keep people on their toes.
03:05 Regardless of the distance, when it comes to their love,
03:08 a source tells ET they are deep in the lavender haze.
03:12 ♪ I just wanna stay in the lavender haze ♪
03:17 They're very into each other,
03:18 and it is clear to everyone around them.
03:20 They are both excited and giddy
03:22 that they can't even hide it, and don't want to.
03:25 Their family and friends are very happy for them,
03:28 and think they are great together.
