Travis Kelce jokes about NFL’s Taylor Swift obsession in surprise ‘Saturday Night Live’ cameo

Travis Kelce has jokes!

The Kansas City Chiefs star made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend, where he poked fun at the NFL’s obsession with his new flame, Taylor Swift.

“Travis was a surprise. He and Taylor showed up right before we started,” an insider told The Post, noting he and Swift arrived at 30 Rock just moments before the show went live.

During a sketch, which parodied the “Fox NFL Sunday” panel, Kenan Thompson and his co-stars imitated the overenthusiastic pundits who have gleefully reported on Swift’s appearance at multiple Chiefs games.

“Let’s get into the games and stop yapping about Taylor and her little boyfriend,” Thompson said in character.

Mikey Day, who was portraying Howie Long, chimed in, “Hold on there. No one said boyfriend. Let’s not jump to conclusions here.”

James Austin Johnson, acting as Jimmy Johnson, added, “They’re hanging out. They’re taking their time and I think that’s great.”

The panel then went back and forth, arguing over who was the biggest fan of the “Bad Blood” songstress, while Thompson repeatedly attempted to bring the conversation back to football.

“You know what, I’m done. When we get back, we’re going to speak to someone who actually wants to talk football,” the “Kenan & Kel” alum said.

The skit also featured Kenan Thompson and Pete Davidson.

Elsewhere in the show, Swift smirked while introducing the episode’s musical guest, Ice Spice, whom she recently collaborated with on “Karma.”

The “Cruel Summer” hitmaker, 33, has made multiple appearances on the late-night show over the years, while Kelce, 34, hosted an “SNL” episode last season after winning his second Super Bowl.

The surprise cameo came hours after Kelce and Swift were spotted holding hands in New York City.

Their brief cameos came a few hours after they were spotted holding hands in New York City en route to a dinner date at Nobu.

Later that evening, they were spotted “kissing throughout the night” at an “SNL” afterparty, an eyewitness exclusively told Page Six.

The NFL player has a few days off after playing an early Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos — which Swift attended with his mom, Donna Kelce.
