Taylor Swift reacted with humor, rather than frustration, after her fiancé Travis Kelce accidentally broke one of her chairs while recording an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, according to Kelce’s own account.
The incident occurred while Kelce was filming the show with his brother, Jason Kelce. A clip shared earlier this week showed a chair collapsing beneath him, prompting Kelce to joke that Swift would be angry once she found out. However, speaking days later on the “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, hosted by his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, he said the reaction was very different from what he initially feared.
Kelce said Swift “laughed her ass off” when she learned what had happened, adding that she took the situation lightly and showed a strong sense of humor. He explained that she was not at home when the chair broke, which briefly led him to consider whether the damage could be fixed before she noticed.
According to Kelce, he and his brother briefly discussed the idea of repairing the chair, but quickly abandoned it after seeing how badly it had splintered. He said the damage was extensive enough that any attempt to disguise it would have been obvious, leaving him little choice but to tell Swift directly.
Kelce also joked about checking his weight afterward, making light of the moment and attributing the mishap partly to indulgences during the NFL offseason. He added that Swift showed no particular attachment to the chair itself, reinforcing that the situation was never a serious issue between them.
The anecdote offered a rare glimpse into the couple’s private dynamic, highlighting a relaxed and playful side to their relationship. Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in August after more than two years together, and both have spoken publicly about their mutual support despite demanding professional schedules.
While the broken chair quickly became a viral moment online, Kelce’s comments suggest it was ultimately treated as a minor, humorous incident rather than a source of tension, underscoring the easygoing rapport the couple often describes in public appearances.
