Several members of the Chiefs organization, as well as notable politicians from Missouri, made the trip to the White House on Monday. Biden led a moment of silence for Norma Hunt, the widow of team founder Lamar Hunt. According to Kansas City station KMBC TV, the team has brought along the Lombardi trophy, as well as a Chiefs jersey with the number 46 to present to the 46th president. According to ESPN, the Pittsburgh Steelers were the first victors to visit the president when they met President Jimmy Carter in February 1980, though Ronald Reagan is credited with making the event a regular occurrence in the late 80s. Unsurprisingly, many of the comments on Twitter were tinged with political sentiment, with some suggesting he was about to profess his love for "Brandon" and others saying he'd give a better speech than Biden.

Patrick Mahomes shuts down Travis Kelce’s White House speech: ‘I’m sorry’

The Kansas City Chiefs were on hand at the White House to honor their Super Bowl LVII victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, and star tight end Travis Kelce had yet another hilarious moment in him when the spotlight was brightest. The Chiefs were at the White House on Monday, and Mahomes and Kelce presented a No. 46 jersey to President Joe Biden, KMBC-TV reported. Mahomes had reprised his role as the straight man in the Chiefs' comedy duo and pulled Kelce away from the microphone mid-sentence. "It's been a long wait to stand before you," Reid said during his speech, referring to the 2020 cancellation.

However, Mahomes quickly moved to remove his top target from the podium since people who aren't President of the United States should not use the seal for their own personal use. As reported by the US Sun, the goal is to establish the steakhouse as Missouri’s “the place to be” before venturing around the globe. They are already a match made in Heaven on their spectacular 7 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, and now, for the people of Missouri, it's the second act for the pair as they turn their attention to the catering trade in their home state. "He makes every single person feel like they're the most important person in the world. He has that natural gift to really embrace and show love to everybody," Mahomes said of Kelce.

To the delight of onlookers, Mahomes put his hand on Kelce's back, gave a wave and guided the Chiefs star back to where the rest of his teammates stood. Shortly after doing so, however, Kelce approached the podium and prepared to make remarks, saying "I've been waiting for this-" before Mahomes rushes over and steers him away from the microphone, earning the laughter of those present. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Monday prevented tight end Travis Kelce from speaking to reporters during the team's visit to the White House.

When Biden turned his back to the podium to put the jersey down, Kelce walked to the microphone, according to People. The Chiefs tight end joined his teammates at the White House on Monday at the invitation of President Joe Biden to celebrate their Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles in February. Former Cincinnati Bearcats standout and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce tried to make a few remarks after the team presented President Biden with a Kansas City jersey. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes quickly moved toward the podium and pushed Kelce away from the mic after Kelce said, "So, I've been waiting for this …."

Winners and losers: Eagles, Steelers shine

As it turns out, Kelce just wanted to utter some famous presidential words. They kicked up a storm when Travis chugged a beer on the stage before taking his certificate, leading to suggestions that he was not being a good role model. However, Mahomes' interest in copying his teammate's big achievement suggests the opposite.

"So I've been waiting for this—" Kelce begins, only for Mahomes to move him out of the way, preventing his teammate from making an impromptu speech. "I'm sorry. Sorry," Mahomes says as he ushers Kelce away and back to the rest of their teammates. The moment got the journalists and the rest of the team laughing at the light-hearted exchange. Kelce is no stranger to the stage having hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live earlier in 2023. Patrick Mahomes had to intercept his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce as he tried to make a speech on the White House lawn.

With the benefit of hindsight, Kelce said he probably should have just launched right into what he wanted to say. Kelce wasted valuable time and allowed Mahomes to pull him away from the podium before getting his moment in the sun. "It's iconic, and how he usually addresses the nation is, 'To my fellow Americans.' That's all I wanted to say, dude."

Reid spoke at the celebration on Monday, thanking the White House for excellent hospitality and (repeatedly) praising the food during the visit. The head coach thanked the organization's staff, coaches, and players for "a phenomenal job" this season, and Chiefs fans for their support of the team. The president spoke highly of the Chiefs for "working together as a team" and striving to "bring out the best in each other" in their championship season. He compared the "power of sports" to the "power of this country," in its ability to "remind us who we are as Americans." Despite winning the Super Bowl three times in their history, the visit marked the first time that the franchise met with a sitting president and toured the White House. And the tradition had not yet been in place when the Chiefs won the Vince Lombardi trophy in 1970.

The three-time Super Bowl champion added, "And it does help when your best friend and your homie’s dating the most famous woman in the world," referring to the romance between his teammate Travis Kelce and Swift, both 34. But beyond accolades on the field, it’s Mahomes’ leadership and personality that has created fans worldwide. “Definitely tell you, in the last four or five years, there has definitely been a red take over here with the Kansas City Chiefs in this area,” said Mahomes’ former head coach, and current Whitehouse athletic director, Adam Cook. Kelce is known for his larger-than-life personality and likes to run his mouth at times on the field.

In 2022, Mahomes told PEOPLE that Kelce is "just the life of the party," in an interview about their close friendship. Described as the "ultimate experiential dining destination,” the new restaurant will be located in the Loews Kansas City Hotel. The athletes partnered with Global hospitality group, Noble 33, to bring 1587 Prime to life. Beyond the upcoming NFL season, when the Chiefs will defend their back-to-back NFL titles, Mahomes and Kelce are hard at work on opening their steakhouse, 1587 Prime, in early 2025. “Even though he had a lot of weight on his shoulders, pressure on his shoulders, football season, basketball season, baseball season, he was a guy for everybody,” said Brown. “That’s just one of the things about it you know, we’ve seen it before now the whole country is getting a chance to see it,” said former teammate Marcus Brown.

Even a visit to the White House served as the superstar tight end's playground for some good-natured humor. Here are some of the most memorable sights, sounds and moments from the reigning champs' trip to Washington. With that, the Chiefs' first visit to the White House — their planned visit in 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic — went off without a hitch. If the Chiefs win another Super Bowl with Kelce in tow, however, they may want to make sure there's more security to keep him from the podium.

Kelce could only say, "So, I've been waiting for this ..." before Mahomes stepped in and pulled him back to join the rest of the team. Everyone treated the situation with humor, including Mahomes, who sheepishly apologized as he and his tight end stepped away from the podium. The Chiefs tight end — who can be as dangerous in front of a mic as he is catching passes — could be heard saying, "Stay right there though" as he attempted to sneak his way to the White House podium. President Joe Biden was, at the time, placing a customized Kansas City jersey on a nearby table. After Mahomes called an audible to move Kelce out of earshot on Monday, Biden, Chiefs President Mark Donovan and Reid spoke at the ceremony, KMBC reported.

The two NFL stars presented a Chiefs jersey to President Biden during the visit. Of course, Kelce is never afraid to say something into a microphone or camera lens. His "You gotta fight for your right to party!" line while celebrating the Chiefs' AFC Championship victory three years ago before winning Super Bowl LIV has become a rallying cry for the rabid fan base in the Midwest. Mahomes was quick to whisk Kelce away from the microphones, and everyone on stage and in the crowd started laughing after the quarterback apologized for his favorite target's want to speak.
