Travis Kelce has responded to the shade cast by Meryl Streep on him. For those who are not familiar, the veteran actress, while promoting her film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, threw a seemingly random shade at the NFL star. Streep remarked, "The hardest thing about shooting in Milan was walking in stilettos on the cobblestones. I'd like to see Travis Kelce do that."
Travis Kelce has a witty and entertaining five-word response to Meryl Streep's shade directed at him. The Kelce brothers discussed the incident on the April 29 episode of the New Heights podcast. Jason Kelce asked, "Do we have beef with Meryl Streep?" To which Travis replied with a chuckle, "I hope she doesn't have beef with me. That's a powerful woman right there. I'm a fan of Meryl Streep. I don't have any beef with her."
Jason suggested, "You might wanna wait until you see this clip." The clip where Meryl Streep shades Travis plays in the background. The brothers burst into laughter as they watched the clip together. Travis retorted in a sassy tone, "Oh Meryl, you have no idea how good I am at walking in heels, okay?"
Jason suggested, "I think we should put this to the test." Travis replied, "We have to find some size 14 heels first." Then the Chiefs TE asked, "What's the heel, though? Because I wear Chelsea boots. Are those heels?" His brother replied, "No, it's got to be stilettos. It's got to be a pointy bottom, that's why it's hard!" Seemingly accepting defeat, Travis said, "Alright, I will give credit where it is due. I don't think I can do it, Meryl."
A slightly annoyed Jason chided Travis, "What are you, a quitter? You are just going to give up to Meryl Streep! You are a world-class athlete, Travis." The Chiefs TE responded in a defeated tone, "No, I just don't think I'm going to make it to Italy and walk in stilettos. Tell you what, Meryl, if I ever find myself in Italy on that cobblestone, I will try and find a size 14 and put it to the test."
This exchange between Travis and Meryl Streep adds an entertaining dimension to the already intriguing story of their interaction. It shows that even world-class athletes have a sense of humor and can take a joke in good spirit.
