Travis Kelce admitted that he "persuaded" Taylor Swift's dad, Scott Swift, to wear a Kansas City Chiefs lanyard

Travis Kelce is working his magic on the entire Swift family — not just Taylor.

During his weekend trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina to see the singer and watch her perform, Kelce, 34, met her dad, Scott Swift, for the first time. He told his brother, Jason Kelce, all about how things went on Wednesday’s episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce (Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment) podcast.

Jason, 36, pointed out that Scott was wearing a Kansas City Chiefs lanyard as he watched his daughter perform on Saturday night alongside Travis, and the tight end joked that he’s “got ‘em all over here to the good side, baby,” referring to the Swift family’s prior allegiance to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason’s team.

“What are we doing, Scott?” Jason asked Swift's dad, as Travis continued, “Just one by one, getting all the good ones to come on over.”

Jason, a center for the Eagles, pushed back, speaking to Scott directly again: “You’re gonna let this man’s devilishly good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a lifetime of fandom, Scott? This is ridiculous.”

Travis then revealed just how the lanyard moment came about. “Aw man, I might have persuaded him at dinner the night before when I met him,” he shared, to which Jason said, “No! Did you?”

“Maybe… who knows?” Travis joked before sharing that Scott is “a huge football guy.”

The Kelce brothers then discussed Scott’s history as a football player himself, as Travis revealed that Taylor’s dad played college football in Hawaii and in Delaware as “a linebacker turned center.”

Surprised by their shared position, Jason said, “We’ll have to get together and talk some center shop one day.”

During the episode, Jason also called out Travis for leaving Scott “hanging” as he didn’t return a high-five after Taylor changed the lyrics of “Karma” to give the Chiefs tight end a shoutout.

“Yeah, Mr. Swift, I apologize big guy,” Travis said. “Aw, man. I missed that. I never miss a high-five, too. Big high-five guy. It’s the most electric thing you can do at an event and so — sorry Mr. Swift.”

Of the lyric change, Travis said he “had a little bit of a clue” that there was something coming, but once he “heard it come out of her mouth, [it] still shocked me.”

“I was like, ‘Oh, she really just said that.’ ”

Travis may be working his magic on the Swift family, but some similar conversions are going on in the Kelce family, too.

Both of Travis’ parents have admitted that while they were not previously avid fans of Swift, since getting to know her, they’ve become Swifties through and through.

In October, Donna Kelce told PEOPLE she would “not” describe herself as a Swiftie as she shared, "My era was Earth, Wind and Fire, Chaka Khan, things like that. That's more my music.”

Over the weekend, though, she was spotted attending a showing of Swift’s The Eras Tour concert film and told PEOPLE, “I did see it and I did like it. It was awesome.”

She called the singer “extremely, extremely talented” and said she “was just totally enthralled" with the 12-time Grammy winner during the film and admired her "presence to be able to connect with people."

Donna added that she’ll “hopefully” get to the show live in the future.
