Travis Kelce could soon be adding a pet to his and Taylor Swift’s household as he joked ‘I need to get a dog’ during a discussion on Monday.
Speaking at the Amazon Port Panel in Cannes, France alongside his brother Jason, Travis was discussing doing advertisements when the topic of dogs came up.
‘The ads I love the most are the ones I actually use, the stuff that I use every single day,’ he said. ‘It’s hard to sell dog food when you don’t have a dog.’
It was then suggested to Travis by one of the other panel members that ‘maybe it’s time to get a dog.
‘There you go, yeah, I need to get a dog,’ he responded.
Jason then cracked: ‘Try selling [dog food] right after your dog dies.’

Travis and Taylor have been dating for nearly two years, though some fans have been convinced that they’re secretly engaged.
Neither of them have any children, though Swift has three cats, and the couple spend much of their time living together.
Travis and Jason also discussed the inception of their hugely-famous ‘New Heights’ podcast during the speech.
‘I think we’ve always wanted to show everybody our brotherhood, our family, how we’re in this crazy football world together supporting each other from different sides of the country.
‘It was an opportunity to honestly spend more time together,’ Kelce added, before Jason said ‘we would go months in the season without really talking to each other.’
The appearance in Cannes came just a day before a mandatory Chiefs minicamp beginning Tuesday.
The tight end previously skipped voluntary team workouts as he was seen spending some time in Florida.
The Chiefs’ mandatory minicamp will run from June 17-19, before Kelce and his teammates get a break until training camp begins on July 21.
The 10-time Pro Bowler was spotted in Miami last Tuesday as Chiefs OTAs began.

Nonetheless, he looked to be keeping active as he was seen entering a gym for a morning workout in the Sunshine State.
After a high-octane offseason last summer – much of which was spent following girlfriend Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour – Kelce has been keeping a lower profile this year.
Kelce was seen earlier this month attending a family wedding with Swift, while he also attended a golf event at the Kiawah Island resort in South Carolina.
Following a crushing loss to the Eagles in the Super Bowl, Kelce took his time to decide on his future before choosing to return for a 13th season.
And it appears that Kelce – in what could be his final season – intends to return with a vengeance.
His quarterback and good friend Patrick Mahomes took note of his focus during a set of OTAs in May.
‘If it’s the last ride, you would never know,’ Mahomes said after being asked about Kelce’s approach.
‘I mean, the way he’s talking about football, the way he’s talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year. He doesn’t seem like a guy that, it’s his last ride, like he’s tired of the job.

He’s in here, he’s working and I know his body feels good, I think it feels better than even last year before going into last season.’
Amid Kelce’s absence from OTAs last week, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler also revealed that the future Hall of Fame had dropped around 25 pounds this offseason.
‘He played a little heavier in 2024, it was sort of a thing,’ Fowler said. ‘He vowed to change it and he has.
‘As we have talked about before, this could be the last dance here for him, mid-30s, still a productive player, they want to go to him on third down but declining a little bit.
‘So he is trying to be slimmer and has gone hardcore this offseason to make it work in what could be his final season.’
Kelce had 97 catches for 823 yards and three TDs in 2024 – still more than most tight ends, but the lowest of his career outside of his rookie season, where he only played once.
His bid for a fourth Super Bowl will begin on September 5, when the Chiefs take on the Chargers in Brazil.
