Billy Eichner recently shared a humorous story about an encounter with Travis Kelce at Madonna’s New Year’s Eve party, revealing a memorable moment on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The comedian described spotting the NFL star and Taylor Swift at the center of the celebrity-filled event when he arrived.
Later during the evening, Eichner felt a firm, enthusiastic pat on his shoulder, prompting him to turn around and face a towering figure. At 6 foot 3 inches himself, Eichner joked about the unusual experience of having to look up at someone, only to find Kelce grinning widely.

Kelce enthusiastically greeted Eichner by exclaiming, “Jimmy on the Motherf–king’ Street, I love you, man,” mistakenly mixing up his name. Eichner, amused by Kelce’s confidence and joy, chose not to correct him, calling the football star “lovely” and noting his repeated fist bumps throughout the night.
While Kelce is renowned for his prowess on the football field, his relationship with Taylor Swift has further elevated his public profile. On his “New Heights” podcast in January, the tight end reflected on spending New Year’s Eve with Swift, describing the experience as both “cool” and “fun.” The two were also photographed sharing a kiss as the clock struck midnight.
Swift and Kelce, who recently celebrated Thanksgiving with both their families, continue to enjoy their high-profile romance. According to sources, coordinating the holiday gathering was challenging but meaningful for the couple, who have been navigating their busy schedules amidst Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.
