In a light-hearted moment captured on video, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his teammates displayed their unfamiliarity with the popular series The Summer I Turned Pretty. When asked if they were on “Team Jeremiah” or “Team Conrad,” most players, including Kelce, expressed confusion over the characters and storyline.
In a clip shared on social media, Kelce’s surprise was evident as he exclaimed, “What?!” when confronted with the question about the show. While many players struggled to grasp the reference, quarterback Bailey Zappe stood out as a fan of the series. Zappe even humorously suggested that the characters were from Love Island, showcasing the playful banter among the team.
Zappe confirmed his allegiance, stating, “Just say you’re Team Conrad. Jeremiah cheated on her. He cheated on Belly.” His insight helped clarify the situation for some teammates who were still in the dark about the ongoing drama in the series, which has captured the attention of many viewers.
Interestingly, Travis Kelce has a personal connection to the show through his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Several of Swift’s songs are featured prominently in the series and its trailers, adding another layer of intrigue to the conversation. Actress Greer Grammer even commented on the video, playfully noting, “TRAVIS. Your girlfriend is basically IN the show at this point!!! Cmon 😭😭😭”.
As the Chiefs prepare for their upcoming games, moments like these highlight the camaraderie and fun among the players, even as they navigate their professional commitments. The intersection of sports and pop culture continues to provide entertainment for fans and players alike, reminding everyone that even athletes can have their blind spots when it comes to trending television shows.
