Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is not shy about his love for Taylor Swift — but even before the global pop star came into his life, he apparently had a soft spot for another blonde beauty with red lipstick. During the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce , Travis opened up about his longtime admiration for Wendy Peffercorn , the iconic lifeguard from the 1993 cult classic The Sandlot .
Travis Kelce reminisces about his favorite movie crush
As the Kelce brothers prepared to revisit The Sandlot, their conversation turned to the film’s most memorable female character, Wendy Peffercorn — known for her signature cherry red swimsuit, white sunglasses, and red lipstick. Jason, 37, downplayed her appeal, calling her “very overrated,” but Travis didn’t hold back.
“No, she was so hot!” Travis fired back. “You’re gonna watch it and be like, ‘Alright, she was hot.’” Jason teased him, jokingly saying, “We’re gonna judge you, actress that played Wendy Peffercorn,” to which Travis confidently responded, “I already know you’re hot.”
The cheeky exchange had fans drawing a playful connection — Wendy’s classic look bears a striking resemblance to Taylor Swift’s signature red-lip aesthetic, especially during her 1989 era. With blonde hair, bold lipstick, and a polished retro vibe, it’s easy to see why fans were quick to point out the similarities.
The nostalgic confession comes as Kelce and Swift, both 35, enjoy a quieter offseason together. After the pop star wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour in late 2024, the couple have reportedly been enjoying some well-earned downtime. “They are making the most of their time off together,” a source told People. “They are hanging out with friends, too. It’s a special time for them.”
