Travis Kelce is reacting to being casually put on blast by Meryl Streep in a promotional video for *The Devil Wears Prada 2.*

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end appeared genuinely surprised when asked by his brother, Jason Kelce, if their family had any “beef” with the Oscar-winning actress in a recent episode of their *New Heights *podcast.

“Is there Meryl Streep beef?” Travis replied. “I hope she doesn't have beef with me. That's a powerful woman right there. I’m a fan of Meryl Streep. I don't have any beef with her.”

It was then Jason informed his younger brother that he’d been “called out for some reason” by Streep in a video that was part of *Devil Wears Prada 2*'s* *promotional campaign.

In the clip, Streep explained that the hardest thing about shooting in Milan for the fashionable sequel was walking down the city’s cobblestoned streets in her stilettos. “I’d like to see Travis Kelce do that,” she added.

Travis appeared temporarily taken aback by being dragged by Streep before quickly rising to the challenge. “Oh, Meryl, you have no idea how good I am at walking in heels, okay?” he replied.

Jason, in true sibling fashion, suggested that Travis take on Streep’s test and try his hand (or feet?) at walking in stilettos on the difficult Italian terrain.

“We're gonna have to find some size 14 heels first,” Travis said. To which Jason responded, “Ok, well, we can have those custom made.”

Despite his initial bravado, Travis backed down from the challenge after learning that he couldn’t get away with just wearing a pair of Chelsea boots or regular heels. “I’ll give credit where credit's due. I don't think I can do it, Meryl,” he said. “I'll let you have it.”

But Jason wasn’t letting his brother admit defeat so easily. “What are you, a quitter?” he demanded. “You're a quitter? You're just gonna give up to Meryl Streep? You're a world-class athlete, Travis!”

To which Travis defensively replied, “No, I just don't think I'm gonna make it to Italy and walk in stilettos!”

Although, in a subsequent clip, it appeared that Travis wasn't quite ready to bow out of the stiletto competition just yet. He added, “I'll tell you what, Meryl, if I ever find myself in Italy on that cobblestone, I'll try and find a size 14, and we'll put it to the test.”

Streep returns as infamous *Runway* editor Miranda Priestly in the highly anticipated sequel, which also stars Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, and more. The film is set to sashay into cinemas on May 1.
