Billy Eichner details hilarious Travis Kelce interaction at Madonna’s party
Travis Kelce knows who Billy Eichner is — barely.
The comedian hilariously told “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” viewers Thursday about the athlete singling him out at Madonna’s New Year’s Eve party.
The “Billy on the Street” host, 46, explained that he noticed Kelce, 35, and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, “standing in the center of the” star-studded bash when he entered.

Later in the evening, Eichner felt “a very strong, like, bro-y pat on my shoulder” from a “masculine man.”
He joked about how strange it was to turn around and have to “look up” at the individual as he is 6 foot 3 inches.
“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–king’ Street,’ I love you, man,” the actor recalled.
Eichner noted that Kelce was “beaming” and “so happy” to see him despite getting his name wrong.
“He said it with such confidence that I could not bring myself to correct him,” Eichner admitted, adding that the “lovely” Super Bowl winner fist-bumped him on multiple occasions throughout the night.
Kelce, while already famous for his football skills, was thrust further into the spotlight last year when he began dating Swift.
In January, the tight end gushed on his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast listeners about spending New Year’s Eve with the 34-year-old singer.
Travis told listeners that the evening, which took place directly after his team’s win against the Cincinnati Bengals, was “cool” and “fun.”
He and the Grammy winner were photographed kissing at midnight.
Although the duo have yet to reveal their holiday plans this year, Swift is fresh off of her record-breaking Eras Tour.
The pair rang in Thanksgiving together with both of their families for the first time last month, Page Six recently confirmed.
“They knew it would take some coordination, but they’re so grateful they were able to pull it off,” the insider shared of the “really important” gathering.
