Travis Kelce Celebrated Thanksgiving With KFC

Travis Kelce may not have spent Thanksgiving exactly how he had hoped, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a good meal. Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end opened up about preparing to be solo for the November holiday—after it was previously rumored that he may have been planning to spend time with his new girlfriend Taylor Swift—and gave a hint at what he’d likely be indulging in for comfort food. On the Nov. 22-released episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, he revealed that he would “be feasting on KFC because I won’t have anybody here”—and that’s exactly what he did, although, he wasn’t alone while doing it, as he was joined by a crew of friends, instead. The “TK Thanksgiving order” included 56 pieces of KFC’s signature fried chicken, 80 hot & spicy wings, three catering-sized sides of mashed potatoes and gravy, two mac and cheese orders, and two orders of corn.
