Travis Kelce isn’t the only one whose jersey sales have soared amid his romance with Taylor Swift — his brother Jason, who plays center for the Philadelphia Eagles, has recently seen a bump too … in the United Kingdom, where soccer is largely popular.
Jason shed light on both his and Travis’ jerseys being the top two selling jerseys in the U.K. on the Wednesday (Dec. 13) installment of their joint New Heights podcast.
“We are the No. 1 and No. 2 top jersey in the United Kingdom,” Jason told his younger brother. “Trav, you got the No. 1 jersey — good to know we’re still No. 1 at something these days — followed by me at No. 2. This is crazy — it’s Travis, then me, then Pat Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.”
Travis agreed, saying that their latest jersey boost “doesn’t make any sense. Either way, I’ll take it.” When Jason inquired if there were a lot of Swifties residing in the U.K., the Kansas City Chiefs tight end replied, “Gotta be, only reasonable solution because of all of this.”
While Travis’ jersey boost comes amid his romance with Swift, Jason joked that his heightened jersey sales likely comes from people mixing him and his brother up. “They’re all Kylie Kelce fans, so they’re supporting [Jason’s wife] Kylie [Kelce],” he joked, before giving her and Swift credit. “Shoutout to Kylie, shoutout to Taylor. Thank you, guys.”
This isn’t the first time Travis has experienced a large boost in his jersey sales. When Swift attended Kansas City Chiefs’ Sept. 24 game, it was reported that his jersey saw a 400% increase in sales.
“Yesterday, Travis Kelce was one of the top five selling NFL players and saw a nearly 400% spike in sales throughout the Fanatics network of sites, including NFLShop.com,” a spokesperson for the NFL’s official e-commerce partner, Fanatics, said in a statement obtained by CNN.

Taylor Swift may not be cheer captain, but she’s still rooting on Travis Kelce both on and off the bleachers. Though the “Anti-Hero” singer was unable to attend Kelce’s away game against the Las Vegas Raiders Sunday (Nov. 26), she did show her support for the Kansas City Chiefs player’s fresh new record – fourth […]

Taylor Swift is to Travis Kelce as the number 13 is to her: a good luck charm.
As proven by recent statistics aired by CBS Sports Sunday (Oct. 22) at the Chiefs vs. Chargers game, the Kansas City tight end plays significantly better when his new love interest — who just so happens to be one of the biggest superstars in the world — is in attendance. And on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce himself reacted to the revealing numbers.
“‘Left to his own devices,” he began, reading the text on CBS’ graphic, which hilariously referenced lyrics from Swift’s “Anti-Hero.” “Well put, well put.”
Per the network, Kelce averages 99 receiving yards at games attended by the 12-time Grammy winner, who has so far been spotted at four Chiefs matches. And when she’s not there? The athlete’s average dips to just 46.5 yards.
“Hard for me to wrap my head around that sentence,” Kelce added.
Coincidence or not, Kelce isn’t the only one who’s noticed that Swift seems to have a positive effect on his performance. Kansas City Coach Andy Reid joked at a Sunday post-game press conference that “Kelce keeps getting better with time — Taylor can stay around all she wants.”
After his brother and co-host, Eagles center Jason Kelce, read out Reid’s comments, Travis said, “I love Coach Reid, man, what a guy. Listen, when you’re getting Big Red’s approval and blessings, you know you’re doing something right.”
Swift also recently got praise from the Kelce brothers’ father, Ed Kelce, who raved that she’s a “very, very sweet, very charming, down-to-earth young woman.” “She gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around,” the patriarch added of the “Karma” singer, who was at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday to watch Kansas City’s victory over Los Angeles. “I don’t think she got the diva memo.”

If it seems like everyone has an opinion on Taylor Swift‘s reported romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce that’s because they do. Take, for instance, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.
On this week’s episode of his The Edge with Micah Parsons podcast the two-time Pro Bowler offered up his opinion on why the two-time Super Bowl champ Kelce and the once-again unstoppable 6-1 Chiefs are crushing the AFC West competition as they sit on the best record in .
And, go figure, it has something to do with Kelce’s No. 1 fan, Swift.
“Travis Kelce’s my boy, the best tight end in the league for like the past three, four years, so it’s obviously not Taylor Swift,” Parsons said of the Taylor Effect; it’s worth noting that the Chiefs have won all four games that Swift has attended so far, after dropping their season opener, in which Kelce did not play. “But I’m gonna tell y’all one thing. When there is a bad girl and she’s in attendance and she’s watching you, that gives you an extra boost of confidence.”
Parsons added, “You know what Kelce’s doing. I know what’s going on. He was already doing it, so now it’s like ‘Yeah, I’m gonna do it more now.’ Like it’s a swagger. It’s a confidence when those things happen. Y’all know how it goes.”
Even typically buttoned-up Chiefs coach Andy Reid joked afterwards that somehow 11-season veteran Kelce, 34, just keeps getting better with age, but that Swift is also welcome to keep showing up and doing her secret pump-up handshakes. “Kelce keeps getting better with time,” Reid said after Sunday’s game according to SI. “Taylor can stay around all she wants.”
Swift attended her first Chiefs game on Sept. 24, where she watched from a friends and family box alongside Trav’s mom, Donna Kelce, and the Chief’s beat Chicago 41-10. She was on hand again, with an A-list group of friends (Sabrina Carpenter, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman), at the Oct. 1 23-20 victory over the New York Jets, as well as KC’s Oct. 8 27-20 home win against the Minnesota Vikings, where she sis’d down with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany.
She was back in the box over the weekend with Brittany and the Kelce family for a 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, where Kelce finished with 12 catches for 179 years and two touchdowns. A stat that ran during Sunday’s game noted that Kelce has more than double the receiving yards per game (99) when Swift is in the house versus when he’s “left to his own devices” (46.5).
Last weekend, Swift and Kelce seemingly confirmed their long-rumored romance by holding hands on their way to the Oct. 14 SNL afterparty, just after they each made surprise cameos on the show’s season 49 premiere. The next day, they had dinner at a restaurant in the West Village, hand-in-hand again; to date neither Swift nor Kelce have confirmed their reported romance.
