‘Jeopardy!’ Trolls Travis Kelce With a Cheeky Taylor Swift Clue: ‘Sorry to This Man’
Written by djfrosty on November 8, 2024
Travis Kelce might be a three-time Super Bowl champion, but to many parts of the world, he’ll always be Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend first and foremost.
And on a recent episode, Jeopardy! poked fun at the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s celebrity status with a cheeky clue: “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? is hosted by this man who’s maybe more famous as a bf than as a 3-time Super Bowl champ.”
The prompt was certainly enough for a contestant named Derek to correctly lock in his answer — “Who is Travis Kelce?” — adding $200 to his tally. Jeopardy! later posted a photo of the clue and wrote, “Sorry to this man 😆”

Kelce hasn’t said anything about the clue, but based on his past comments about his superstar girlfriend, he’d probably find the game show’s classification funny. In September, he laughed off a question about being Swift’s “arm candy” while speaking to CBS Mornings, saying, “It’s the life I chose, I guess. I have fun with it. It comes with the territory of wanting to do fun activities like this.”
In the same interview, the New Heights host also raved that “literally, every single one” of the 14-time Grammy winner’s songs is his favorite. “If you see me at a concert, you’ll see me singing them all,” he added.
Indeed, Kelce has been to quite a few Eras Tour concerts since he started dating Swift last summer. He most recently attended her second night in Indianapolis Nov. 2, after which he said on his podcast, “I wanted to see Tay one more time before this thing got closed up.”
“I’ll tell you what, man,” he added of her show — one of Swift’s last before Eras wraps up in December — on the Nov. 6 New Heights episode. “The American crowds, they did not disappoint. I heard that it was a lot more rowdy this time around, knowing she was coming back to stop through America one last time before the tour was over with, and I’ll tell you what, man, that thing was rocking. Absolutely rocking.”
