He was singing in front of the biggest names in music, and he wanted to see how it felt.”Jason Kelce, the tight end’s brother, also commented on Travis’s wedding performance during an appearance on the “Ross Tucker Podcast” last month.“Trav can sing. Trav has always been able to carry a tune,” Jason Kelce said, though he acknowledged that his brother’s performance “paled in comparison to some of the other people singing that night.”Popular talkshow host won’t be returning to air until next month‘SNL’ alum to make Broadway debut as Mary Todd LincolnMusic legend gives update on wife’s cancer: ‘Thankfully, she’s in remission’Harry Styles fan lets baby stroller roll into traffic for photoFamous actor sued by company that makes intimate cream for malesAdditionally, Travis has put his vocal chops to the test before. He recorded “Fairytale of Philadelphia” with his brother for a Christmas album that featured Jason’s former Philadelphia Eagles teammates. The tight end also performed Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again” at a charity karaoke event and sang Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places” after the Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl victory.However, not everyone believes the “Catching Kelce” alum has what it takes to make it.A second source told Shuter: “Some of Taylor’s friends in the music industry think he’s underestimating how tough country music really is. [Being a] celebrity might get you through the front door, but it won’t keep you on the charts. You still have to earn the respect of Nashville.”Kelce has not confirmed a recording contract or release date. He continues to co-host the “New Heights” podcast with Jason.Kelly Corbett is a Trending News Reporter for syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.
