On this week’s episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, the brothers talk about one of my most favorite topics: Spring cleaning. The set-up is that Jason and wife Kylie Kelce hired professional organizers to help to do a spring cleaning at home. I can confidently declare that spring cleaning can be either one of the most satisfying experiences or most depressing tasks, lol. Anyway, during the episode, Travis started talking about how people are sending so much mail to his house that he now has a new policy of returning all new mail back to sender.
Travis Kelce has a message for anybody trying to send him snail mail: Don’t. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end reveals on Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights podcast presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment that he no longer receives mail at his home due to an overwhelming influx of deliveries. The topic is raised after his brother and co-host, Philadelphia Eagles alum Jason Kelce, shares that he and wife Kylie Kelce recently hired a team of professional organizers to help them with some spring cleaning around their home.
Travis agrees that clearing out clutter is key.
“The one thing you don’t realize, that when somebody posts your house online, that everybody now has your address and people just send stuff to your house,” he says. “So I literally stopped getting mail to my house. I had to stop. I had to literally tell the post office and everybody to, like, stop bringing stuff to my house.”
Jason plays devil’s advocate, reminding Travis that “there’s some stuff that comes and it’s pretty cool.” But Travis is undeterred.
“Anything sent to my house, send right back to the sender,” he declares. “So anybody that’s just sending random s**t to my house, uh, it’s not getting to me.”
Travis has seen an increase in his public profile over the last year amid his romance with pop icon Taylor Swift. According to multiple reports, Travis purchased a $6 million home in Kansas City, Missouri, last fall in an effort for more privacy after the couple went public with their relationship.
There’s no talk of Taylor on the latest episode of New Heights, despite the couple stepping out together for Patrick Mahomes’ 15 and the Mahomies Foundation Gala on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nevada. An eyewitness told ET that Taylor and Travis “walked in holding hands and were affectionate all night” while supporting Mahomes’ charity initiative in Las Vegas, Nevada. The eventgoer adds that throughout the night, there was “lots of kissing and just overall happiness between them. The support is there for one another.”
“The two seem to be in good spirits and definitely in love,” said the eyewitness.
This amid a historic week for both Travis and Taylor, with the former inking a deal to make him the highest paid tight end in the NFL and the latter shattering numerous records with the release of her 11th studio album.
Okay, I have no doubt that Travis has been sent some pretty weird sh-t from fans over the years, just like I have no doubt that he has had a significant uptick in unwanted mail over the last sevenish months. I can imagine that after a short while, it’s no longer fun or funny. I wonder what’s the weirdest thing he or Jason have ever been sent. Whatever it is, I bet it’s wild. During the pod, Jason touched upon his potential new gig as a commentator for ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, calling it a “tremendous honor” to be considered for the job. Jason really does seem like a big personality that can bring a lot of ‘good times’ to the table. But going back to Travis, he should really have someone start a spreadsheet to keep track of the stuff he’s been sent because I have a feeling that some of it could make a good song someday…
