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 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.

Patrick Mahomes Talks His 'Homie' Travis Kelce Dating Taylor Swift: 'The Most Famous Woman in the World'

This offseason, Travis returned to University of Cincinnati alongside his brother Jason Kelce for a live episode of their podcast that included a ceremony to finally receive their college diplomas. In October, the NFL stars announced another joint partnership with four-time golf champion Rory McIlroy and Olympic boxing gold medalist Anthony Joshua on a $218 million investment into Formula 1 team, Alpine Racing. Wilson, 28, shared a photo with Mahomes after they taped the interview on social media.

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.

"What a time to be a Chiefs fan. Team wins. Kelce and Mahomes are national treasures. Seems unreal since following this team in the 90s," @Phillip_Clyde wrote. Another praised the athletes-turned-comedy duo, "My favorite football duo @PatrickMahomes and @tkelce have charisma for days," they said. The moment was tweeted out by NFL journalist Ari Meirov with the 20-second video having been viewed over 2.1 million times. The video sees Mahomes and Kelce posing with Biden, who is holding up a Kansas City Chiefs jersey with the president's name and the number 46 (he is the 46th U.S. president). After they finish their photo op, Kelce sees his opportunity and wanders over to the unmanned podium.

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.

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 …."

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.

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.

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.

Touchland hand sanitizer has become a beloved product on TikTok — it hydrates your skin every time you use it. Monday afternoon QB1 stepped in to save his friend and make sure there wouldn’t be anything to apologize for during the Chiefs’ visit to the White House. Both Kelce and Mahomes apologized for swearing on TV immediately following the emotional Super Bowl LVII win in February. Mahomes quickly grabbed his friend and escorted him away from the podium to join the rest of the team on the risers.

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.
