The Kansas City Chiefs tight end let slip just how much he knows about his girlfriendTaylor Swift’s career during the Friday, March 14 episode of hisNew Heightspodcast, which he hosts with his brotherJason Kelce.

“A few of my personal favorites that I was involved in, like, [Will] Forte and I had a lot of fun things. We did a sketch called Potato Chip,” Sudeikis said. “That very first time we did was with Taylor [Swift] when she hosted. But it didn’t make it.”

Travis replied, “Nice! A young Taylor too.”

Sudeikis noted that the sketch with Swift never made it to air during the 2009 broadcast, but rather appeared on the show in 2013 when Swift’s palBlake Livelystepped in.

“We ended up doing it with Blake Lively,” he said. “She ended up getting it over the hump for us. And they played it so differently, which is one of those neat things. And it was, like, it’s the silliest sketch in the world. It’s worth looking up.”

“If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it,” Travis said on theNew Heightspodcast at the time.

Swift later called the move “metal as hell” inaTIMEmagazine profile,sharing that the two started dating shortly after.

“We started hanging out right after that,” Swift toldTIME, referring to the podcast episode as the catalyst for their romance. “So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”
