The Super Bowl winner and his girlfriend Taylor Swift were photographed at Coachella last week
Adding a game show to his workload comes as Travis juggles being a successful podcaster alongside his NFL career.
The format will see contestants attempt to answer 11 grade level questions. They will be able to call on a class of celebrities.
If contestants get to the last question and answer correctly, they will win $100,000.
Kelce is currently enjoying some downtime after winning a third Super Bowl title with the Chiefs in Las Vegas in February.
He has since traveled to Australia and Singapore to support Swift on this leg of her Eras tour before spending time with the popstar in Los Angeles.
The couple hung out at Coachella last weekend. They watched Taylor’s friend Jack Antonoff’s band Bleachers perform at the festival on Saturday and were also seen attending the celebrity-filled Neon Carnival party.
It was this is Swift’s first time attending the music festival since 2016 while Kelce was seen at the event in 2022 and 2023 with some of her friends.
Travis is set to reveal everything about his trip to Coachella on the latest episode of New Heights Wednesday morning.
This promises to be a busy edition for their many fans, as they also consider hosting a live show in Cincinnati this past Thursday night.
Kelce, 34, was criticized for drinking a beer on stage at the end of the event, while receiving his diploma from the University of Cincinnati.
This prompted a defensive tweet from his older brother Jason on Saturday, saying: “I know this looks like a graduation video, but it was actually at the end of a New Heights Live podcast that we broadcast to raise funds for the University’s NIL.
“The university did this to make fun of my brother and me, who never actually graduated. »
For Swift, meanwhile, a big week awaits with the Friday release of her highly anticipated new album – The Tortured Poets Department.
