Kelly and Mark Steal the Show as Swift and Kelce This Halloween!
In a delightful twist of pop culture magic, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are set to enchant fans as they pay homage to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for the annual Halloween special of "Live! with Kelly and Mark." This exciting reveal comes as the dynamic duo prepares to recreate the vibrant atmosphere of Swift and Kelce's memorable outing at the U.S. Open, where the couple made headlines for their energetic antics, singing and dancing to The Darkness’ hit “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.”
The U.S. Open appearance showcased Swift, radiantly dressed in a gingham Reformation dress and sporting her signature red lipstick, while Kelce stood out in a quirky Gucci bucket hat. Mark Consuelos humorously noted on his podcast, “I felt like (Mr.) Magoo,” referring to the cartoon character known for his poor eyesight, as he donned a playful ensemble that mimicked Kelce's style. Meanwhile, Ripa, who has known Swift for many years, expressed her modesty, saying, “Nobody gives less Taylor vibes than me.” However, she is excited to channel her friend's essence, even if she feels she falls short of capturing it completely. “I’ve known Taylor since she was a teenager on our show. She’s just as charming and delightful as you would expect.”

Amidst the light-hearted banter, Ripa shared her apprehension about sporting red lipstick, revealing her fear of it smudging, which adds an amusing twist to her transformation. “I become almost immobilized by just the near presentation of red lips,” she admitted. Meanwhile, Consuelos had his own challenges, joking about his fake mustache and the costume closet’s lack of authentic Gucci wear. Despite their humorous struggles, he commented on his admiration for Kelce, saying, “He seems like a great guy and he's funny.”
As the Halloween special approaches, Ripa and Consuelos are set to entertain audiences with a variety of costumes under the show’s whimsical theme, “Only Halloween in the Building.” Ripa likened the fast-paced nature of their Halloween production to that of hosting "Saturday Night Live," highlighting the adrenaline rush of quick costume changes and live segments. She reflected on her past experience, noting that the Halloween show is the closest thing to hosting SNL, with the pressure to deliver in a lively and entertaining manner.
With Consuelos now feeling more comfortable in his role after replacing Ryan Seacrest, he admits that his initial anxiety has lessened. “A year and a half in, I finally feel like I kind of have my sea legs,” he shared, expressing relief at becoming more at ease during interviews, even with celebrity guests. Ripa couldn’t be prouder of her husband’s growth on the show, describing him as “utterly enjoyable to watch” and praising the energy he brings to their dynamic. “He makes us feel very safe and energized, giving us all a new lease on this place,” she said, a smile brightening her face.
As viewers gear up for this Halloween special, it’s clear that Ripa and Consuelos are not just dressing up but truly embodying the joy and spirit of their pop culture inspirations. Their playful banter and shared laughter promise an entertaining show, capturing the magic of Halloween in the most delightful way.
