Kelce arrived in The Emerald City just after 9 am on Thursday morning.

A privately chartered jet, the same model as one owned by Taylor Swift—a Bombardier Global 6000—was observed on flight tracking platforms, making its way from Honolulu to Australia on Thursday morning.

The NFL player hinted at visiting Australia last week in his podcast New Heights, which he co-hosts with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles centre Jason Kelce. He stated that he would “venture to an island real soon.”
