Travis Kelce Says ‘Taylor, This Is for You’ as He Takes Home Karaoke Award After Belting Out Whitesnake

Travis Kelce is dedicating a special award to his girlfriend Taylor Swift!
On Thursday, July 11, the Kelce brothers attended the American Century Championship charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and Travis, 34, made sure to show off his vocal skills yet again as he took the stage for a karaoke contest.
After belting out Whitesnake’s 1982 hit “Here I Go Again,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was named the karaoke winner, and he made sure to give Taylor, 34, a shoutout as he collected the honor.
After jumping up and down with excitement when his name was called out, the athlete jokingly pretended to cry as he took to the mic and said. “Taylor, this is for you,” in a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Travis then held his award up in the air and told the audience, “I love you guys!”
In a video shared on the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast Instagram page, Travis could be seen putting his all into singing the Whitesnake song.
“Nothing beats @killatrav’s stage presence,” the clip’s caption read, with the text “Travis on stage in Tahoe” being written over the video.
Other notable Travis karaoke performances at the charity bash over the years include him singing Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble’s “Pride and Joy” in 2022, as seen in a clip shared on X, and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” in 2019.
His karaoke fun also isn’t the first time Travis has showcased his vocals this year, as he grabbed the microphone while addressing Chiefs fans at the 2024 Super Bowl victory parade in February.
Slurring his words, Travis told the crowd, “If you know this song, sing along!” before launching into his own version of Garth Brooks’ 1990 hit “Friends in Low Places.”
“Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots, and ruined the Niners affair,” Travis began, reading the lyrics off his phone.

He went on to sing, “Took that glass of champagne…” before looking at his teammate Patrick Mahomes, and joking, “Pat took that glass of champagne, I promise you.”
“When I… and I toasted you,” Travis continued to sing, before Patrick ended up taking the mic and helping him finish the song
