The NFL player told “New Heights” podcast guest Andrew Santino Wednesday that he watched the MTV prank show and is familiar with the comedian’s epic prank on his now-girlfriend.
Santino, 40, went on to describe the 2012 episode anyway, explaining that the Grammy winner, now 34, believed she had accidentally set off a firework of Justin Bieber’s that destroyed a boat.

“There was a wedding party [on board],” the actor recalled. “I was the groom, and we were dinghy-ed to shore with our boat on fire, and we blamed her for ruining our wedding.”
Kelce, also 34, cracked up as Santino relived the prank and said he has “got to ask Tay about that.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end noted, “I’ll see if she was trying to sell it or not. When I saw it, I bought it.”

Santino insisted that he “know[s] she bought it,” calling the prank “the perfect bit that worked.”
He added, “Some of the bits were so wild they didn’t work. But hers was specifically great because there were so many pieces that came together. They don’t always come together like that.”
At the time, Swift told CMT Insider that she was “absolutely traumatized and terrified” by the experience.
