During this time of year, when people are thinking about being thankful for those special people in their lives, Jason Kelce has one person in particular who he is especially grateful for. During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show on Monday (Nov. 25), the former Philadelphia Eagles center told the host that being swept into Taylor Swift‘s orbit over the past year has been a “whirlwind.”
Since his younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, began dating Swift last summer, Jason told Eisen that some people have been asking him for for tickets to her massive Eras Tour stadium shows, and he always gives the same answer. “Thankfully I don’t get a lot of people reaching out for Taylor Swift tickets… it is an immediate no. But, I don’t get a lot of that,” Jason Kelce said.

That said, Jason noted that Swift has been adamant that anyone who needs a pair of tix for the tour that is slated to wrap up next week with a final run of three gigs in in Vancouver at BC Place Stadium is totally welcome to be placed on her personal VIP list. “Taylor has said she will take care of anybody that I ask for,” he said. “She does say that, she’s great, but I still say no to everybody.”

Jason — who is expecting his fourth child with wife Kylie Kelce — explained that he just doesn’t want to be that guy who imposes on the 34-year-old singer, or puts her in an awkward position. Why? Because, he said, “she’s been nothing but lovely to our family, she’s a wonderful person and I don’t want that to kind of be a dynamic.”

Eisen asked Kelce to clarify that Swift has given him a “clear path” to tickets that the former NFL star has shut down. “Yeah… where’s the line? Exactly, so I’m not even broaching the line,” he said. “I’m staying away from the line.”

Like his younger brother, Jason has attended a number of Eras Tour shows, including with Kylie in London in June, as well as with their two oldest daughters in Miami last month. In addition, Taylor has frequently been spotted hanging with the Kelce family in skyboxes during Travis’ Chiefs games over the past year.

Adele is celebrating the end of her two-year Las Vegas residency with some commemorative keepsakes. The singer announced in an Instagram post on Tuesday (Nov. 26) that she is offering fans who made it to the Weekends With Adele extravaganza — as well as those who didn’t — a live album with a special bit of fairy dust from the series.
“To commemorate the ending of my residency in Las Vegas, I’m making a limited edition vinyl box set featuring the entire live setlist, a photo book, and even confetti from the show,” the singer wrote alongside an animation showing off the colorful box that features a grand piano on the front and opens up to reveal some spectacular photos of the show, as well as a full-color 56-page book and three 180g LPs.

The $349 box recorded during the 100-show residency at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace features two hours of music across 21 tracks, including such beloved hits as “Hello,” “Easy On Me,” “Rumor Has It,” “Skyfall,” “Set Fire to the Rain,” “Someone Like You” and “Rolling in the Deep,” among others; the estimated shipping date for the box is February 2025.

And that’s not all. The singer is also selling some holiday-appropriate merch that includes a new card game called, naturally, “Love Is a Game,” that comes in a handsome burgundy box. The “conversation cards” inside include such topics as “Let’s Begin,” “When We Were Young” and “Who Am Eye?” with question including “Who do you love fighting with?” and “A time when you were wrong about yourself.”

Her web store is also stocked with a $15 Adele ceramic Christmas tree ornament featuring a vintage-looking pic of the singer in profile and a drawstring pouch, as well as an $85 green crewneck sweatshirt with a bedazzled “A” logo on the front, matching $80 green holiday sweatpants and a $90 black Adele hoodie.

Earlier in the day the singer reminisced about her “adventure” in Las Vegas during the run of twice-a-weekend shows that kicked off in November 2022 and wound down on Saturday. “Las Vegas you’ve been so good to me,” she wrote. “This residency went on to mirror what 30 was about – lost and broken to healed and thriving! Seems so fitting in the end.”

Adele has not said what she will do next, but the singer who typically takes extended breaks between albums has previously hinted at plans to temporarily step away from music, saying she’s prepared to take a “big break after this.”
