Travis Kelce and Chiefs Teammates Stumped by ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’
Fans of the popular series The Summer I Turned Pretty were surprised to learn that NFL star Travis Kelce and his teammates with the Kansas City Chiefs had little knowledge of the show’s key characters, Jeremiah and Conrad. During a recent video segment, players were asked whether they were Team Jeremiah or Team Conrad, leaving most of them puzzled about the reference.
In a lighthearted exchange captured on video, Kelce exclaimed, “What?!” in response to the query. While many of his teammates were unaware of the show, a few players did recognize the names. Quarterback Bailey Zappe was among those who understood the context, even speculating if it related to Love Island.
Zappe, who appeared to have a better grasp of the Cousins Beach drama, playfully suggested to his fellow players that they should declare themselves Team Conrad, stating, “Just say you’re Team Conrad. Jeremiah cheated on her. He cheated on Belly.” This commentary provided a humorous insight into the dynamics of the show, which has captivated a dedicated audience.
Interestingly, Kelce has a personal connection to the series through his girlfriend, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Many of her songs are featured prominently in both the show and its trailers. Actress Greer Grammer even commented on social media, noting the irony of Kelce’s lack of knowledge about a show that features his girlfriend’s music. “TRAVIS. Your girlfriend is basically IN the show at this point!!! Cmon,” she wrote, adding a touch of humor to the situation.
The exchange highlights the contrast between the worlds of professional sports and popular entertainment. While Kelce and his teammates are focused on their NFL season, fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty continue to engage with the series and its twists and turns. As the Chiefs prepare for their upcoming games, it remains to be seen if this newfound awareness of pop culture will influence team dynamics or discussions in the locker room.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, blending sports with entertainment often leads to unexpected moments of connection. Whether or not Kelce and the Chiefs become more acquainted with the intricacies of The Summer I Turned Pretty remains to be seen, but their reactions certainly provide a lighthearted glimpse into the lives of professional athletes.
