Travis Kelce Says ‘Gossip Girl’ Was His Guilty Pleasure Show Growing Up: “It’s So Good”


Travis Kelce is revealing his guilty pleasure show.

On Wednesday's episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end admitted he was a fan of Gossip Girl growing up.

Toward the end of the conversation, the brothers fielded questions from fans, one of which asked what guilty pleasure show they watched that they were "embarrassed to admit."

"Embarrassed to admit? I don't care. You can judge me, dude. It is what it is," Travis said, before adding, "I used to not tell everybody that I watched Gossip Girl growing up." Jason replied, "You watched Gossip Girl? You should be embarrassed."

"It's so good though," Travis noted. "Dude, if you watched it, you could get in deep." Jason then asked, "Are you talking about Gilmore Girls? What show is Gossip Girl?"

"No, Gossip Girl," Travis replied, recalling the names of castmembers Chace Crawford and Blake Lively, who's friends with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The rest of the cast includes Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley and Ed Westwick.

"I mean, it's awesome," the Kansas City player said. "It's like a New York high school show with a lot of drama and basically everybody gossiping and talking shit on each other, which leads me to my new favorite show out right now and it's [Peacock's] Traitors."

Taking Travis' description a bit further, the hit CW show follows a group of mostly over-privileged, wealthy kids at an exclusive prep school on Manhattan's Upper East Side, whose lives are put on blast by a mysterious texter going by the name Gossip Girl.

"As the graduates embark on their futures, with some attending college and others focusing on burgeoning careers, Gossip Girl continues to stir the pot and feed any potential scandals," the description continues. "And still the identity of Gossip Girl remains a mystery."

The show, which launched the careers of many of its stars, was rebooted for a Gen Z-focused version on Max that aired for two seasons before it was canceled.

Elsewhere in the podcast, Travis briefly opened up about his secretive role in Ryan Murphy's Grotesquerie, which stars Niecy Nash-Betts and Courtney B. Vance. The show had its premiere on Monday and Donna Kelce was in attendance. The Chiefs player noted that their mom got to meet Nash-Betts and had "nothing but amazing things to say about her."

"Niecy Nash is amazing, and she just had a blast," Travis said of Donna. "She went up there with Uncle Don and Aunt Joan. They were all texting me afterwards telling me they enjoyed it, and they can't wait to keep watching it, and I'm just like, 'Man I didn't know you guys were into thrillers like this.'"

While he hasn't seen anything from the show yet because he's just been focusing on football since he finished filming, he has been keeping track of it.

"I'm not going to lie I focused on my parts more than I understood the entire like grand scheme of the show," Travis said. "So there are parts that I was like watching the trailer, and I'm just like, 'Oh, this is really interesting.' I'm definitely going to going to dive in and watch it for sure."

Lesley Manville, Micaela Diamond, Raven Goodwin and Nicholas Alexander Chavez round out the cast of the FX series, which follows a detective (Nash-Betts) and a nun (Diamond) as the investigate a series of heinous crimes that seem personal.

Grotesquerie premieres Sept. 25.
