Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce made his international pop tour this year when he appeared at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour performance in London this June. Kelce came out on stage wearing a top hat and a black suit tail coat. During the skit, Kelce carried Swift in his arms while she appeared unconscious, then plopping her down on a red couch. 

But Kelce admits he feared dropping his girlfriend of about one year during the performance. 

"I just didn't want to drop her when I was carrying her on that stage," Kelce said during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday. "That would have been the most embarrassing thing I could have ever done, so just getting her to the coach was the hardest part."

Swift even had reservations about letting Kelce complete the process of carrying her to the coach, according to him. When Kelce was asked if Swift ever gave him any hesitation on his confidence in completing the process, he said, "Oh for sure."

"There was definitely that extra like, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’" Kelce said. 

However, Swift took steps to ensure that Kelce's role was minimized to avoid any serious mistake. 

"Taylor knew when the lights are on I’m gonna have some fun, and she put me in a position so that I didn’t have to do much for it to be a success. She put me in a really comfortable part of the show," Kelce added.
