As Travis Kelce revealed on the latest New Heights podcast, he had one very important thought running through his head when he carried his girlfriend Taylor Swift on stage for the Eras Tour London Night 3 show: “Do not drop the baby.”
He’s correct. You definitely don’t want to drop your girlfriend who is also a megastar in the middle of a concert. But also, that’s very funny and adorable, and Swifties of course took the quote and ran with it, turning it into a meme as we’ve seen these things do.
So here’s a sampling of some of what we saw on X (formerly Twitter) after the latest and very much-anticipated podcast dropped:
