00:00 What was I even doing in some of these tweets?

00:03 Taylor Swift's fans have been digging up Travis Kelsey's old tweets,

00:08 and the NFL star joked it was torture seeing them resurface.

00:11 The 34-year-old's brother, Jason Kelsey, brought up the now viral tweets on this week's episode

00:17 of their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelsey. And it looks like the Kansas

00:21 City Chiefs tight end still can't believe those tweets made their rounds again.

00:26 "Maybe the biggest news from this past week besides the Kelsey family reunion game,

00:30 and that's the Travis Kelsey tweets circa 2009 to 2011. Travis,

00:35 everybody's a big fan of college Travis, uh, Twitter."

00:42 Although Travis admits it's funny that they've resurfaced, he's actually been trying to get

00:48 them deleted for years. "Since I've gotten to the league, I'm like, gosh, I just want,

00:52 I want all those things to get deleted. And, um, sure enough, it came to, came surface level,

01:00 and everybody f***ing dove into 2011. What a f***ing year that was."

01:06 The tweets even took on a life of their own, getting a whole bit on The Tonight Show Starring

01:12 Jimmy Fallon. "Travis used to tweet a lot. Nah, he wouldn't quit. I just gave a squirrel a piece

01:19 of bread and a straight smashed all of it. Now this guy's with Taylor Swift and yeah,

01:24 the two are dating. I had no idea they ate bread like that. Hashtag crazy."

01:30 When looking back at that time, Travis explained what was going on in his mind back then.

01:36 "I was just using Twitter as like a diary. Like there's no, I'm just out here just saying

01:43 nonsense." And the NFL star admitted he got roasted online for some of the things he used to tweet.

01:50 "Yeah, everybody just tortured me. If nobody, nobody torched me for the, for the singing.

01:56 I got my, I got my fix for this one. I was getting lit up left and right. This s*** was."

02:02 When the Swifties aren't digging up Travis' old tweets, they're helping him reach the top

02:09 of the charts. Travis' duet with his brother on Fairytale of Philadelphia reached number one on

02:14 iTunes and Travis says it's all because of the Swifties. "So one group in particular,

02:20 besides the 92 percenters, and that's the Swifties, because the Swifties came out.

02:24 I sent out one tweet when I got to eight and I got like 85 tweets from Swifties across the world

02:31 saying, 'Oh, you think eight's good? We're taking this to number one.' And they did.

02:34 It's a powerful group. It's a powerful group of people." "Thanks Taylor. Appreciate you. And

02:40 thank you to the Swifties. Thank you." The song is an updated version of Fairytale in New York by

02:46 the Pogues and was featured on a Philly special, a Christmas album that Jason started in 2022 with

02:52 his Philadelphia Eagles teammates. They donated all the proceeds to charity. And Travis' vocals

02:58 on the album left an impression. Some people commented saying Travis sounded like a Disney

03:02 Prince on the song. "The rasp, grit and growls add such a beautiful texture to Jason's voice.

03:09 Travis is giving Disney Prince vibes." I saw that comment quite a bit. "Somebody's been

03:14 taking singing lessons. You guys both sound great. Multi-talented." "Okay, hashtag multi-talented."

03:21 "Thank you, Goddess Fairies." "Thank you, Goddess. Disney Prince?" "What Disney Prince are you going

03:27 to be?" "I don't know. The only one that I know is Beauty and the Beast." "So you're going to be

03:31 Beast?" "Oh, no. I think they were just going for like a Disney like singer, right? Like that's

03:37 what it really is." Unfortunately, Travis won't be spending the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday with

03:43 his lover. He revealed on the podcast he'll be spending it alone. "I'll be feasting on KFC

03:51 because I won't have anybody here." "You don't have anybody in there? Cooked turkey? What's Kumar

03:58 doing?" "We'll have to, I don't know. He might be going back to hang out with his family. So we'll

04:03 see." "If you want to make a quick trip, you're welcome on the house trip." "Thanks, man."

04:07 "We'll have plenty of food." "Thanks."

04:10 While the Kelsey brothers may not be spending Thanksgiving together this year,

04:14 they did have some fun looking back at how they spent the holiday when they were younger.

04:18 "So I'm talking about when we were young, young. Just pick up." "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah, I'm just

04:21 talking about we would go to like a park. Yeah, we go to Fairfax Elementary." "Fairfax, yeah." "Yeah,

04:26 yeah. And I just remember there was snow on the ground and you could tackle and it felt a lot

04:32 better." "Ah, you would pray for a snow day." "I think one year we went to Canterbury, which was a

04:38 change up. We usually didn't go to Canterbury, but we ended up there." "Oh, I remember that one."

04:42 "I guess that is the one leg up Thanksgiving does have on 4th of July is you get to, not only get to

04:48 eat and drink, but you get to watch football." "Yeah, that is a lot of fun." "It's usually a pretty nice deal."
