The Kansas City Chiefs tight end went viral last week for trying a version of the country star's 1990 hit
Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce ‘massive’ fan Melissa Etheridge slams romance haters
Melissa Etheridge told Fox News Digital anyone who’s bashing the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship ‘might need to look’ at themselves.
Travis Kelce has friends in high places — namely Garth Brooks, who offered to fly the Kansas City Chiefs tight end to his Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk grand opening in Nashville next month.
Brooks was inspired to fly the Super Bowl champ to the March 7 opening after hearing Kelce’s viral performance of his 1990 hit "Friends in Low Places" at the Super Bowl victory parade last week.
"Did you guys see Travis Kelce’s version of ‘Friends in Low Places?’ Did you see him sing this?" the 62-year-old asked on his latest episode of "Inside Studio G," adding "I loved it. I thought it was fantastic. It blew me away because I’m sitting there watching it as it’s going down, right? I never expected that."
He then personally offered to fly Kelce to Nashville for the opening if he’d try another go at "Friends in Low Places."

"Big man, I’m just telling you this. I will be at [the] grand opening if you’re there. I’ll send a plane if you want, and come and get another shot at the title," he said, laughing. "If you want to come sing that, I’ll send a plane."
Brooks said Kelce could bring his brother or his "gang," noting that the private jet seats 11 people.
"So, yes, I’ll be happy to send this invite out to you if you want to try a little ‘Friends in Low Places’ in Friends in Low Places," he said.

The country star said that Kelce’s "Friends in Low Places" performance, for him, came in just second to the athlete’s rendition of "Viva Las Vegas" immediately after winning the Super Bowl. "It was fantastic, it’s great," he asserted.
