Travis Kelce is defending his title as an award-winning karaoke star at the American Century Championship with a little help from big brother Jason Kelce.
In 2024, the 35-year-old tight end took home an award for his performance of Whitesnake’s 1982 hit “Here I Go Again” at the annual charity golf tournament, and his performance this year has left fans questioning if the Kansas City Chiefs star has been receiving singing lessons from his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Returning to the event for 2025 — which kicks off onFriday, July 11, and takes place at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort in South Lake Tahoe, Nev. — he and Jason, 37, took the stage the night before the main event to belt out another hit in a rock star-worthy performance.
They joined forces to reimagine Bob Seger’s classic 1978 hit “Old Time Rock & Roll.” Dressed in olive shorts and a matching polo, Travis finished off his look with a pair of white sneakers and a baseball cap. Jason paired a cowboy hat with a more casual white cutoff shirt and khaki shorts.
Their performance was complete with a choreographed dance routine and raspy vocals. In the midst of it all, Jason grabbed a canned beverage to chug before throwing it into the audience.
“Those Kelce brothers know how to put on a show 👏🔥,” a video from the performance shared by their New Heights podcast on Instagram was captioned.
In the comments section, fans were quick to point out Travis’ vocals, with one writing, “Omg they killed it and yeah, Travis has a voice?! Has he been training with Taylor??”
“Is it just me or is Travis’s voice getting better and better? 😉🫶🏻,” another added, while a third wrote, “Travs been getting some lessons from tay 🔥.”
Travis and Jason showed up a day before the tournament kicked off to get in some extra practice, with PEOPLE capturing footage of the Chiefs star practicing his golf swing.
