Travis Kelce Reacts to Meryl Streep’s ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Challenge: ‘Credit Where Credit’s Due’

Could Travis Kelce be trading his football cleats for stilettos? Not any time soon — and he’s “giving credit where credit’s due.”

Devil Wears Prada 2 star Meryl Streep issued a tongue-in-cheek challenge to the three-time Super Bowl champion and fiancé of Taylor Swift on April 25 while discussing filming in Italy, quipping, “The hardest thing about shooting in Milan was walking in stilettos on the cobblestones — I’d like to see Travis Kelce do that!”

As siblings do, Jason Kelce, former Philadelphia Eagles center, seized the opportunity to poke fun at his younger brother, asking, “Travis, do we have beef with Meryl Streep?” during the Wednesday (April 29) episode of their New Heights podcast. At the time, the Chiefs star hadn’t heard Streep’s comment, so he nervously replied, “I hope she doesn’t have beef with me. I’m a fan of Meryl Streep; I don’t have any beef with her.”

“I’ll give credit where credit’s due,” he continued. “I don’t think I can do it, Meryl. I’ll let you have that. I just don’t think I’m going to make it to Italy and walk in stilettos.”

The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters on Friday (May 1), arriving as the sequel to 2006’s Devil Wears Prada. All of the major players have returned for the new film, including Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. An official soundtrack is set for release the same day, led by Lady Gaga & Doechii’s house-pop collaboration, “Runway.”

Featuring a smattering of recent pop hits from SZA (“Saturn”) and The Marías (“No One Noticed”), The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack also includes new songs from Gaga (“Shape of a Woman” and “Glamorous Life”), Sienna Spiro (“Material Lover”) and Izzy Escobar (“Evergreen Avenue”). The new film is also expected to have a major presence at the MET Gala on May 4, which will be co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams.
