Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce recently opened up about the difficulties he faced while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2023.
During a recent interview with Bussin’ with the Boys, the NFL star shared the 'hardest part' of being on the sketch comedy.
“The writers’ rooms were fun because you’re just getting pitched ideas," Kelce, who has been dating the Love Story hitmaker since 2023, said. "The table reading, for a guy that can’t really read that well, it was kind of a f***** situation.”
Kelce further explained, “I felt like I was just trying to get through the reading instead of actually acting it out and giving it a voice and giving it a character and things like that.”
“I was just focused on, ‘Don’t f****** skip this line.'”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end carried on the conversation and spoke candidly about the pressure he felt, saying, “There was still a sense of like, ‘I need to be a professional here.’”
He added, “I want to take advantage of this, but I want to have fun doing it, but I don’t want to look like a loser doing this.
"I want to make them respect my approach and how I’m like taking it serious. But it was just a fun roller coaster, man.”
For those unversed, Travis Kelce hosted SNL Season 48 on March 4, 2023 and he was accompanied by musical guest Kelsea Ballerini.
Moreover, he will soon be featuring in upcoming sequel to Happy Gilmore on Netflix alongside Adam Sandler.
