Man, what a wild ride it’s been with this whole Travis Kelce Kentucky Derby thing. Let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, but it all started pretty casually. I’ve always been a fan of the Derby – the atmosphere, the fancy hats, the whole shebang. And of course, I’m a huge football fan, so when I heard that Travis Kelce might be there, I got a little excited.
So, first thing’s first, I started digging around online. Turns out, Kelce was indeed going to the Derby! I immediately started checking my schedule, called in a favor from a friend to cover my shift and I was set. Booked the flight and found a decent place to crash. It was happening!
Then, the day of the Derby arrived, and the energy was insane. People were everywhere, dressed to the nines. I soaked it all in, placed a few small bets – nothing crazy, just for fun. And then there was that moment. I had a feeling there is something about a race. So I went all in with about $100, but unfortunately I didn’t win the race. I should have known not to get too excited about winning or making any real money.
Now, here’s where the story gets interesting. I was hanging out near the track, and I spotted Kelce. No Taylor Swift, though, which I know some people were wondering about. I went up, said hi, and we chatted for a bit. Turns out, he’s a pretty chill guy, even though I heard he came up a little short in the Derby himself. He said he also almost won $100,000, I guess we both are on the same boat.
- Got kicked out of college for partying too hard
- Got hit with a drug test
- Realized he needed to tighten up
We talked about the races, football, and just life in general. He even mentioned something about getting kicked out of college because he “partied a little too much” and got hit with a drug test. Said it was a wake-up call for him to “tighten the f—- up.” I gotta say, I respected his honesty. It’s not every day you meet a celebrity who’s that open about their past.
Getting Kicked Out
He also talked about his net worth, I found it later online, people are saying he worth like $90 million in 2024, not bad at all I would say. But hey, who knows if that’s accurate. All I know is, the dude was super down to earth, and it was cool to see a different side of him, away from the football field.
Anyway, the whole experience was a blast. Didn’t win big at the races, didn’t see Taylor Swift, but I got to meet Travis Kelce, hear some crazy stories, and enjoy the Kentucky Derby. Honestly, that’s a win in my book. Sometimes, it’s not about the money or the fame; it’s about the experiences and the people you meet along the way. And this was definitely one for the books.
Oh, and one last thing. Apparently, he and Taylor turned down an invite to the Met Gala. Can you believe that? I guess they’re just keeping it low-key. Which, honestly, I can respect.
So yeah, that’s my Travis Kelce Kentucky Derby story. Hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, folks!
