Was Swift’s first time attending the music festival since 2016, while Kelce was spotted at the event in 2022 and 2023 with some of her friends.
Travis will reveal all about his trip to Coachella on the latest episode of New Heights on Wednesday morning.
It promises to be a jam-packed edition for their many fans as they also reflect on performing a live show in Cincinnati on Thursday night.
Kelce, 34, was criticized for drinking a beer on stage at the end of the event, while the University of Cincinnati presented him with his diploma.
This prompted a defensive tweet from his older brother Jason on Saturday, saying: “I know it looks like a graduation from the video, but this was actually at the end of a New Heights Live podcast we did to raise money for the University’s NIL “. .
“The university did this to make fun of my brother and me for never getting our diplomas.”
For Swift, meanwhile, there’s a big week ahead as her highly anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department, is released on Friday.
