Julia Roberts gave Swifties something to talk about — but Travis Kelce has nothing but nice things to say about her.
“I met Julia Roberts in Ireland, in Dublin,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushed to his “New Heights” podcast listeners Wednesday. “That was pretty cool.”
Kelce, 34, noted that the “awesome” actress, 56, was “having some fun” with Stevie Nicks in the VIP tent during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show Sunday.
The athlete’s interaction with Roberts was filmed by a fan and has since gone viral.
Social media users blasted the “Notting Hill” star for scratching Kelce’s chest as they spoke, with some labeling her “handsy” and him “uncomfortable.”
Others, however, defended Roberts by pointing out “some people are just touchy like that” and “she’s old enough to be his mom.”
Nikki Glaser called the Oscar winner’s actions “too much” in an Instagram Story video Monday — and her parents agreed.
“She’s so gross,” Julie Glaser said before joking that Roberts was “trying to French-kiss” Kelce.
Her husband, Edward Glaser, chimed in to insist the NFL star looked like he was “trying to get away.”
The comedian’s mom subsequently apologized for using the word “gross” to describe Roberts’ body language.
While Kelce did not speak to the online backlash, he did gush over Nicks, 76, who he hung out with at Hacienda Bar later that evening.
“She is every bit of whatever everyone makes her out to be,” he said. “She is so awesome. … Some of these people you meet and you’re like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here. You are unbelievable … and I am just a jabroni supporting his girlfriend.’ It’s just so much fun.”
The three-time Super Bowl winner, who clarified that he is no longer in Ireland, recalled having “some Guinness” beer and “play[ing] some snooker.”
He concluded, “Ireland was fun. It was a good time.”
Kelce flew there from California after attending a teammate’s wedding, with fans believing he surprised Swift, also 34, by showing up to her performance.
The football player, who has been dating the Grammy winner since July 2023, previously attended all three of her London shows — and even took the stage.
He gushed over the experience Wednesday, admitting that it was his idea to be “put … to work” during the “Tortured Poets Department” set.
Kelce had a “blast” being “a ham” with Swift and said he could “do no wrong” with her onstage.
