In the season 2 finale of the New Heights podcast, the 34-year-old athlete finally revealed how he ended up on The Eras Tour stage in London last weekend.

As it turns out, Travis had a very different plan in mind when he first broached the idea of joining his girlfriend on stage.

"I initially mentioned it to Tay. I was like, 'How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 era?'" he said in Wednesday's episode.

"She started laughing and was like, 'Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?' And I was like, 'What? I would love to do that. I've seen the show enough, might as well put me to work here.'"

But the Anti-Hero artist came up with a better idea, instead having Travis join the prelude to I Can Do It With a Broken Heat during The Tortured Poets Department era.

The Super Bowl champ, dressed in a dapper suit and top hat, starred as one of the showmen who pushes Taylor to continue the performance after she seemingly "dies" at the end of The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Travis held a big responsibility in his role, as he was the one to pick her up and carry her to the couch.

Despite the many crucial catches of his career, the NFL star admitted he was quite nervous and repeatedly reminded himself of one thing: "Do not drop the baby!"

Will Travis Kelce ever hit The Eras Tour stage again?

"The golden rule was, 'Do not drop Taylor. Get her to the couch safely,'" he added.

Thankfully, Travis pulled it off, and his surprise appearance was a massive hit with Swifties.

"When everyone found out that it was me – because it took a second for everyone to figure it out – that moment was pretty jarring," he admitted.

"I was just like, 'Oh s**t.' And you don't realize how big that damn stage is. It is easily as big as a football stadium… it's way bigger than I could have ever imagined."

With everything turning out so well, would Travis ever hit the stage again?

"Who knows? Might not be the last time," he said. "You guys will have to keep showing up to the Eras Tour to see if I pop out of the stage or whatnot."

Taylor next brings her record-breaking series to Amsterdam on Thursday, and fans just might want to hit up a live stream in case Travis does indeed make a grand return!
