NEWS'Confident' Travis Kelce Got Billy Eichner's Name Wrong During a Party 'Full of the Most Famous People in the World'
Billy Eichner recalled Travis Kelce coming up to him at a party and giving him a 'bro-y pat on my shoulder.'
Travis Kelce is — kinda — a fan of Billy Eichner.
On the Thursday, December 5, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian, 46, hilariously recalled the moment the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, got his name wrong at Madonna’s New Year’s Eve party.
Billy Eichner immediately saw Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift when he arrived at Madonna's New Year's Eve party.
Eichner said he noticed Kelce and his pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift, “standing in the center of the” party when he arrived. Later in the night, the Billy on the Street star received “a very strong, like, bro-y pat on my shoulder” from a “masculine man.”
The actor remembered having to “look up” when he turned around to see the 6’5” football player in front of him.
“In a very loud booming voice in a house full of the most famous people in the world, Travis Kelce looks at me and says, ‘Jimmy on the Motherf------’ Street,’ I love you, man,” the Bros actor told host Jimmy Kimmel.
Though Kelce made a mistake, Eichner said the Grotesquerie star was “beaming” and “so happy” to introduce himself.
Travis Kelce called Billy Eichner 'Jimmy' in a 'very loud booming voice.'
“He said it with such confidence that I could not bring myself to correct him,” Eichner confessed, noting the “lovely” athlete spoke to him multiple times that night.
As OK! previously reported, Kelce has reached a whole new level of fame this year due to his romance with Swift.
