Travis Kelce has got some serious comedic chops, and his latest response to Meryl Streep’s playful challenge proves just that! On the April 29 episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end hilariously clapped back after Meryl made a lighthearted comment about his ability to walk in stilettos on cobblestones.

It all started when Meryl, during a recent featurette for The Devil Wears Prada 2, revealed her difficulties filming on the cobblestone streets of Milan, saying, “The hardest thing about shooting in Milan was walking in stilettos on the cobblestones… I’d like to see Travis Kelce do that.” Jason quickly brought up Streep’s challenge, prompting Travis to quip, “I hope she doesn’t have beef with me! I’m a fan of Meryl Streep. I don’t have any beef with her,” before diving into the playful banter.

“You Have No Idea How Good I Am at Walking in Heels”

The moment the comment was made, Travis Kelce didn’t hold back. With a grin, he responded, “Oh, Meryl, you have no idea how good I am at walking in heels. Okay?” The NFL star continued, joking about how he’d tackle the challenge: “We’re gonna have to find some size 14 heels first,” a reference to his large foot size that had everyone laughing. However, once Travis understood that a stiletto is a shoe with a pointy bottom, he quickly changed his tune.

“I’ll give credit where credit’s due,” Travis said. “I don’t think I can do it, Meryl. I’ll let you have that.”

But Travis didn’t stop there. When Jason Kelce pushed back, suggesting they “don’t bow down to anybody”, Travis replied with respect for the legendary actress, “When it’s Meryl Streep, you kinda do. You just gotta, like, bow down.” Classic Kelce wit at its finest!

The Anticipation for The Devil Wears Prada 2

The hilarious back-and-forth wasn’t just about heels—it also showcased how much Travis Kelce admires Meryl Streep as an actress. He admitted, “I can’t wait to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. The first one was a banger. I know this one’s gonna be epic.”

Fans of both Streep and Kelce are eagerly anticipating the sequel to the 2006 classic, which features Meryl alongside Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. The much-awaited Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, and Travis, along with many others, is looking forward to seeing the highly anticipated sequel.

A Touch of Humor and a Lot of Respect

This fun exchange only adds to the growing camaraderie between Meryl Streep and Travis Kelce, two huge figures in their respective industries. While Travis humorously claimed he could walk in heels, he also showed just how much he respects Meryl’s talent and contribution to the film industry. Plus, can we talk about how he’s probably secretly dying to try on those stilettos?

In the world of sports and entertainment, these kinds of playful moments only remind us how much fun these celebrities have when they’re off-duty. It’s not every day that an NFL star and a legendary actress go head-to-head in the realm of heels, but it seems like Travis Kelce might just be up for the challenge—in spirit at least!

Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s see if Meryl Streep or Travis Kelce will actually walk the walk when it comes to cobblestones and stilettos!
