Travis Kelce has doubled down on his dad joke about already owning a Taylor Swift signed guitar that was up for auction at Patrick Mahomes' charity event.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end addressed the viral moment during the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast with brother Jason Kelce.
The joke occurred nearly a week ago at the 15 and the Mahomies Vegas Golf Classic Gala, where Travis was seen putting down his auction paddle after initially showing interest in the item.
The moment quickly spread across social media, with fans amused by his quip about the signed guitar.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are spending time out of the limelightGETTYDuring the podcast, Jason played the viral video and suggested his brother was "helping a good cause by running up an auction price for a signed guitar."
Travis quickly corrected him, insisting, "No, I put my paddle up because I wanted it and then I realised, 'Oh, I already have it. Oh, that was the guitar I have.'"
When Jason expressed doubt, asking if he "realised it afterwards," Travis explained he "had to get a good look at it," adding, "You don't want to buy the same guitar twice."
Jason, 37, laughed and called his brother's quip "well done."
Travis went on to praise Mahomes' charity event, calling it "a f***ing blast" that keeps "raising more and more money every single year."
Swift, 35, was notably absent from this year's fundraiser despite attending the previous year's event.
In April 2024, the couple had acted "affectionate" and showed "lots of" PDA during the auction, according to an eyewitness.

Travis, who is currently in his NFL offseason following a Super Bowl loss, has been spotted solo at various events whilst Swift remains largely absent from public view.
