Kylie Kelce gave her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, a shout-out while fulfilling one of his lifelong dreams at the Philadelphia Zoo.
“Maybe we can take a pit stop at the otters?” Kylie, 33, asked a staffer during the Tuesday, December 2, installment of her “FAFO” YouTube series. Kylie then turned to the camera and added, “Shout-out to Uncle Trav.”
Kylie went behind the scenes of the zoo’s otter exhibit, asking if the animals had a “pecking order” when it came to feeding. “They’re so loud, it’s impressive,” she said after the otters screeched from their cage.
Before moving on to see the giraffes, Kylie once again gave Travis, 36, a special message. “Alright Trav, that one’s for you,” she teased. “Thanks for getting me into the otters.”
For those who need a refresher, Travis’ love for otters was previously discussed when his fiancée, Taylor Swift, appeared on his and Jason Kelce‘s “New Heights” podcast in August.
“All I really use the internet for is sourdough and when Travis shows me videos of otters on his Instagram algorithm,” Swift, 35, revealed at the time.

Travis laughed before admitting, “I want a wild otter so bad. I just wanna, like, find these little creatures and be friends with them.”
Swift pointed out that the NFL star “specifically” wants an otter “whose life he saved” and “who knows that he saved his life.” Travis clarified that the inspiration comes from videos he’s seen online.
“He doesn’t want to go up to an otter and take it from its mother,” Swift continued. “He wants to see an otter and the otter is like, ‘My paw’s caught in a shell,’ and he’s like, ‘I got you.’ And then the otter’s like, ‘Thank you forever.’ … That’s what he wants. And I want it too, honestly, who doesn’t?”
Following Swift’s instantly viral podcast episode, Jason, 38, revealed that he and Travis were “invited to almost every zoo and aquarium in America” with otters on the premises.
“They must not have heard what I said,” Travis joked on “New Heights” in August. “I don’t want to go to the zoo — although I will, not that I won’t — I don’t want to go to the zoo and meet the otters. I want to meet one in the wild [that] comes swimming over to me or needs help somehow and screams or screeches for me to help it.”
Along with Travis’ otter lore, Kylie’s latest YouTube video made a reference to one of the more raunchy songs her brother-in-law inspired on Swift’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl. While visiting the Philadelphia Zoo, Kylie learned that the staff has a trick for matchmaking with their tigers.
“We started playing ‘Wood,’ actually,” Maggie Morse, senior director of animal care, told Kylie in Tuesday’s vlog. “That’s really amping up the mood.”
