The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 36, and the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, 38, hosted a live installment of their popular podcast at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15.
While Travis’ fiancée,Taylor Swift, didn’t make it in person to the event – she instead stayed back in New York City and was spotted arriving at Electric Lady Studios – the NFL star found a way to honor the pop star in his own special way. In the hours before the live show began, a parody movie poster of the 1990 rom-com Pretty Woman was displayed on stage, per footage circulating online. But instead of stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere being featured, it was Travis and Swift, with the title reading, Pretty Man.
The inside joke spawns from a 2025 episode of “New Heights,” where Travis joked he was living out a gender-swapped version of the beloved film by being with a “high-class” woman like Swift. (The movie follows a successful businessman who hires a Hollywood escort to be his companion for the week before the pair end up falling in love.)
“That’s why me and Julia Roberts – when I met Julia – it felt like we were the same person. She spoke to me in this movie,” Travis joked at the time. “I’m just an NFL stripper, that’s it – just an NFL hooker, man.”
Despite being in the NFL offseason, the “New Heights” live event comes amid a busy time for Travis. Career-wise, he participated in a Chiefs mandatory minicamp in Kansas City, Missouri, from Tuesday, June 9, through Thursday, June 11, and released his and Jason’s book, No Dumb Questions: And All of Our Dumbest Answers, on June 2.
In his personal life, Travis has been enjoying downtime with his fiancée, Taylor Swift, with date nights in New York City and Cleveland in recent weeks. The couple are also counting down to their highly anticipated wedding. Although details are still under wraps, the nuptials are expected to take place before Travis begins Chiefs training camp in late July.
In April, Us Weekly exclusively revealed that Travis and Swift, 36, are working together to plan their big day.
“They’re both involved and making decisions together,” a source told Us at the time, adding that the pair are “focused on actually enjoying the process rather than getting caught up in the pressure” as their wedding approaches. “They’re keeping things light.”

According to the insider, the bride and groom “have both been very laid back” about the planning after making “a conscious decision not to let it cause any tension between them.”
As for Travis’ desire to participate, the source added, “Taylor thinks it’s cute that Travis cares about a lot of the details.”
To keep the specifics private, Travis and Swift “aren’t even sure they will” mail hard-copy invitations to their guests. Regardless, “their closest friends and family know the venue and the date,” the insider noted, “even if nothing formal has been sent out.”
Meanwhile, the duo’s families are “letting Taylor and Travis do their thing and aren’t getting too involved or giving too many opinions.”
For his part, Jason has been vocal about his aspiration of standing beside his younger brother when Travis and Swift exchange vows.
“Hopefully I’m the best man. We’ll see. Trav has a lot of friends,” he said on a September 2025 episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast. “I’m just hoping to get the opportunity.”
Later that year, Jason addressed whether he was “prepared” to make a best man speech at Travis’ wedding.
“Time will tell if there is one or anything like that,” he replied during a December 2025 appearance on Good Morning America. “I’ve been given no details on that front, but however I’m involved, I’ll be happy to be. I’m just happy for those two.”
