The first thing for you to know is that, constitutionally, Travis Kelce is allowed to be president of the United States. As a natural-born citizen who has lived in the U.S. for at least the last 14 years and will be 35 years old on January 20, 2025, the next inauguration day, the Big Yeti satisfies the three specific requirements laid out in the U.S. Constitution for would-be presidents.
The next thing for you to know is that Taylor Swift’s boyfriend has a proven track record to back up his commitment to his platform. Namely, fighting for his—and your—right to party. He has stated as much on the record, on national TV, several times, then followed through on those campaign promises, often with spirited lip-syncing.
Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates got a taste of the Oval Office life on May 31 when they visited the White House and met with President Joe Biden, a perk of winning their second straight Super Bowl championship title. Despite later saying that he “felt all the Taser guns on me when I walked up there,” Kelce grabbed the chance to stand behind Biden’s special podium when invited. And now that he’s tasted presidential greatness for a moment, the tight end has some more ideas.
The Chiefs’ official TikTok account shared a video Monday asking several suited-up players what they would do if they were president for a day. While several of their responses involved food (the burgers are apparently not large enough), Kelce knew what he’d do with his time in the White House: Namely, get out of the White House.

“I would take Air Force One to Hawaii,” Kelce said. And who else is on that plane? “The Squad. Hopefully we can all fit. I think we could all fit on there.”
Flight times aside (there are better places to depart from than D.C., and that nearly 12 hours of transit would seriously eat into the one-day Kelce term), Swifties have a somewhat more expansive definition of “squad.” Travis, have you accounted for Swift’s pals in your seat count? Can Lana Del Rey come?
Please let us be the first to suggest a Kelce/Kelce ticket, with big brother/New Heights co-host Jason Kelce serving as veep. Travis has the international diplomacy handshaking thing down (thanks, Eras Tour), while Jason can liven up the party with some bare-chested politics a la his antics at the Chiefs/Bills game in January. If that’s an example of the “best behavior” he was told to be on when meeting Swift for the first time, we would love to see what would happen with other world leaders. (Yes, we consider Swift to be one of them. Obviously.)
There’s even a place for Intern Brandon of New Heights fame in the Big Yeti White House: Every administration needs a designated survivor.
