Travis Kelce stole the spotlight at the annual 8AM Invitational, a charity event hosted by Justin Timberlake at Wynn Las Vegas. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end certainly demonstrated his fun-loving side. He captured hearts when he brought the golf course on to the Dancing with the Stars floor! Kelce picked up one of the golf clubs and started holding it like a microphone. To open the show with panache, he danced to “Curious” by Midnight Star, electrifying the audience.
The event occurred in the early morning hours, giving participants the opportunity to have a round of golf and evening event. Kelce’s brother—offensive lineman Jason Kelce—joined him, further contributing to the family camaraderie of the occasion. The atmosphere became electric as Travis Kelce danced and sang, with Andrew Santino joining in on the fun alongside Justin Timberlake.
Timberlake posted a TikTok video showing some of the high-octane behind-the-scenes action between Kelce, Santino, and himself busting a move together. In a playful nod to their roles in the entertainment, Timberlake captioned the post, “We are just @Travis Kelce’s backup dancers now.” This playful quip was an important detail, as this good-natured air was a defining feature of the event.
Travis Kelce’s reaction to the TikTok Kelce was clearly into the idea, commenting on the original TikTok post with, “What a timeeee!!! His exuberance reflected the enthusiasm of the crowd and was similar to their energy. Andrew Santino would later refer to it as “a dance in the desert 🌵 to remember.” Check out some additional photos from the event on Santino’s Instagram, showing just how much fun and passion was in the air among all participants.
And as that music pumped and peals of laughter rang out, the golf course became electric. What might have started as a gala fundraiser became a legendary dance party. Timberlake and Kelce had a unique partnership to raise funds for an admirable cause. Collectively, they created unforgettable experiences for each participant.
