Travis Kelce and Olivia Dunne swapped sports as part of a new ad for the energy drink they both sponsor, Accelerator.
Kelce tried his hand at gymnastics first, and the LSU gymnast taught the Kansas City Chiefs tight end how to make a proper landing.
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend didn’t don a leotard for the attempt, but Dunne shared the three important steps to “landing right”: arms extended upon impact with the mat, arms raised to signal the end of the routine, and a shout.
All four women’s gymnastics events, the vault, uneven bars, floor exercise and balance beam, involve a similar dismount.
After Kelce performed the outstretched landing, arm-raised salute and shout, Dunne was impressed and said “10!”, “10!”, which is a perfect score in college gymnastics.

Kelce did his best attempt at gymnastics with a ‘firm landing’, a wave and a shout.
Then came Dunne’s chance to show what she could do as a soccer player. She’s dating Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates, not the Steelers, so an on-field pointer might be stranger.
Kelce taught Dunne the proper way to catch a football, with the “diamond,” which means connecting the thumbs and index fingers, while keeping the elbows tight.
Off-camera, Kelce tosses the ball to Dunne while yelling “She’s free!” and the gymnast catches the pass and spikes the ball in celebration to Kelce’s delight.
Accelerator has been a sponsor for months of Kelce’s podcast ‘New Heights’ which he hosts with his older brother Jason Kelce.
Other Accelerator-sponsored athletes include Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa and Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga.
The ad was filmed a few weeks ago before Travis Kelce appeared on stage with his girlfriend during a London show of his stadium ‘Eras Tour’.
