"Opening act for the next tour!?": Travis Kelce hits high notes like a pro — Taylor Swift behind his surprise vocal glow-up?
Travis and Jason Kelce Go Full Rockstar at Lake Tahoe Karaoke Night — And Swifties Can't Get Enough (Getty Images) Travis Kelce may be one of the NFL's top tight ends, but when it comes to stealing the show off the field, he and his brother Jason are a dynamic duo. The Kelce brothers rocked the stage during a wildly entertaining karaoke performance at the American Century Championship golf tournament in Lake Tahoe on Thursday, July 10, leaving the crowd electrified and the internet buzzing. Travis Kelce's karaoke stunt goes viral—has his romance with Taylor Swift turned him into a showman? Their high-energy rendition of Bob Seger's 'Old Time Rock and Roll' turned into an instant viral moment, blending humor, charm, and a touch of rockstar bravado. With Jason, 37, sporting a cowboy hat and sleeveless golf shirt and Travis, 35, in matching olive green shorts and polo, their look was as bold as their vocals. And just when the crowd thought it couldn't get better, the brothers broke into a full choreographed dance, taking the moment from fun to legendary. Fans couldn't get enough. As their 'New Heights' podcast account fittingly posted on X: 'The Kelce brothers absolutely dominate karaoke 👏🔥.' And dominate they did. What made the moment even more special for fans—especially Swifties—was the hint of Taylor Swift's influence. Many speculated the pop superstar, who's dating Travis, might have been behind the polished vocals and slick moves. Though she wasn't in attendance, her musical shadow seemed to hang delightfully over the performance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cervecería Nacional CFD: Calcula cuánto podrías ganar invirtiendo solo $100 Empieza a invertir hoy Empieza ahora Undo One fan named @swiftcanadian13 commented, "So like opening act for the next tour!?" Another fan named @livieheartsclub added, "Look out @taylorswift13, Travis is coming for your job." A third user @deemlo said, "I want to know if Travis did some vocal exercises, also if Jason saw Travis doing them and scoffed lol." Travis and Jason Kelce's karaoke duet has internet buzzing (Image via X) This isn't Travis' first time commanding a karaoke crowd. At last year's tournament, he took the top prize for belting out Whitesnake's 'Here I Go Again,' accepting the win with a heartfelt, 'Taylor, this is for you!' The Kansas City Chiefs star also delivered a fan-favorite performance of Garth Brooks' 'Friends in Low Places' during the team's 2024 Super Bowl parade. And back in 2019, he wowed the crowd with Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin',' earning another ACC karaoke win. Jason, who recently retired from the Philadelphia Eagles, proved he's just as entertaining off the field. His carefree energy and willingness to ham it up with his younger brother added heart and humor to the performance. The Kelce brothers have once again reminded fans that football is just one part of their larger-than-life personalities. Whether it's dominating the gridiron or the karaoke stage, they know how to entertain—and fans are loving every minute of it. And if anyone still wonders whether Taylor Swift has been giving Travis and Jason a few vocal pointers, one thing's for sure: if she has, it's working.

Luke Combs surprises Stagecoach 2025 crowd with Garth Brooks for 'Friends in Low Places'
Luke Combs surprises Stagecoach 2025 crowd with Garth Brooks for 'Friends in Low Places' Show Caption Hide Caption Coachella campers face festival traffic nightmare Coachella campers arrived ahead of the start of the famed festival only to face massive traffic lines. What's enough to knock the focus off Luke Combs during his headlining set at Stagecoach over the weekend? Try a surprise guest appearance by Garth Brooks to sing the country hit to end all country hits: "Friends in Low Places." Yep, that'll definitely do it! And so, it was that Combs put a most thunderous finishing touch on what will surely go down as one of the most epic headlining sets in recent Stagecoach history. Combs keyed up expectations as he told fans something special was on the way to help him close out an already-rousing festival set. Playing somewhat coy, he sang the first portion of "Friends in Low Places," only for Brooks to quietly appear on stage and take over. Why did Luke Combs write 'Ain't No Love in Oklahoma'? See the lyrics, story behind the song The crowd, at first shocked, and then raucously delighted, seemed unable to believe their ears. What transpired over the next few minutes felt like a shot — or three — of pure Stagecoach adrenaline, stronger and more intoxicating than any of the varied liquors that had been guzzled all over the Empire Polo Club grounds over the previous 72 hours. The Garth Brooks news is a big disappointment − and an important reminder It felt like nearly everyone in the crowd was singing along as Brooks and Combs — both sporting big grins — drank in the moment, turning the vocal work over to the crowd for large portions of the song but interjecting just enough to remind us that we were witnessing country music lore in the making. Finally, Combs yelled, "It's Garth Freaking Brooks, everybody!" We didn't need the explanation, but the crowd, of course, roared anyway. It was Brooks himself who delivered what will probably be the most-remembered line of the night when he referred to Combs as a "future Hall of Famer." It's a title that Combs earned through a grueling 90-minute set in the California desert, leading the crowd through a commanding barrage of his biggest hits. Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car' is topping charts thanks to Luke Combs: 'Honored to be there' The country music star headlined Stagecoach just three years ago, but his set this time around was strikingly different. Many of his most beloved hits, featured heavily during the April 27 show, had not even been released at the time of that last show. It served as yet another sign that Combs' career is as white-hot with success now as it was then. While Brooks stole the show, he wasn't the only high-profile guest to join Combs on stage. Pop punk band Good Charlotte also made an appearance to sing their hit "The Anthem," alongside Combs and Bailey Zimmerman — an up-and-comer who appeared at Stagecoach in 2024 and 2023 — came out to perform a new song called "Backup Plan." Still, it was Comb's voice that kept audiences captivating, his signature country croon ringing out over a rapt stadium. Watch Cleveland native Tracy Chapman perform 'Fast Car' with Luke Combs at the Grammys While there was no shortage of highlights, it was hard to beat the sheer power of his "Hurricane" performance, or the cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" − a sleeper hit for the country artist. Then again, I'll also have a hard time getting over the hard-charging spectacle of "Ain't No Love in Oklahoma." When he was finished wrapping up his own set, Combs hopped stages to lend his talents to the festival's actual final act: the Backstreet Boys. Showing up to sing "I Want It That Way," he helped give the classic 2000s hit a country twang. I have a feeling it won't be the last time we see Combs show up to blow the doors off someone else's set at Stagecoach. Someday, an elder Combs might even have to come back to crown the next "Luke Combs" just like Brooks did tonight. Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY
