Travis Kelce Breaks TD Record Amid Viral Interview Mix-Up
UPDATE: During a pre-game interview on October 28, 2025, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was mistakenly referred to as rapper Travis Scott while discussing his record-setting career touchdown achievements. The blunder occurred as Kelce celebrated scoring his 83rd career touchdown, tying him with Priest Holmes for the most touchdowns in Chiefs history.
In a clip that has since gone viral on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Patrick Mahomes engaged with a reporter who excitedly asked about Kelce’s milestone. The reporter incorrectly stated, “Travis Scott (Kelce) tied the touchdown record,” prompting a wave of reactions from fans who were quick to joke about the mix-up.
One user humorously commented, “Imagine breaking NFL news and accidentally drafting Travis Scott instead of Travis Kelce… the halftime show just got way more lit, though.” Another fan added, “Travis Scott might actually die if a 230 lb linebacker tackled him.”
Despite the slip-up, Mahomes remained focused on honoring his teammate’s impressive achievement. He stated, “He’s the true Chiefs Chief. He is the guy that has been here through the whole thing. He has helped set the culture of what it means to play for Coach Reid and to play in Kansas City.”
Kelce’s record-tying touchdown is a significant milestone, showcasing his impact on the franchise and his long-standing partnership with Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid. Their collaboration has been pivotal in creating a winning culture in Kansas City.
Fans continue to discuss the viral moment, with some defending the reporter, stating she may have misspoken but meant to recognize Kelce. Regardless, the mix-up has sparked a wave of online engagement.
As the Chiefs prepare for their matchup against the Washington Commanders, all eyes will be on Kelce as he aims to break the franchise touchdown record in the upcoming game. This moment not only highlights Kelce’s remarkable career but also emphasizes the intersection of sports and pop culture, making it a talking point for fans everywhere.
Stay tuned for further updates as the Chiefs take the field and Kelce seeks to make history once again.
