Jason Kelce Says Brother Travis Kelce Is Being a ‘Gentleman’ With Taylor Swift

Jason Kelce has given a much-desired update on the status of his brother Travis Kelce‘s relationship status with Taylor Swift, a rumored match that sent the world into a frenzy after the pop star attended Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium.

In a new interview with DeCamara & Ritchie on Audacy’s SportsRadio 94 WIP, the elder Kelce — who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles — fielded questions about Swift’s time in Kansas City over the weekend, during which she spent the NFL game passionately cheering for Travis’ team in a private box suite alongside the Kelces’ mother, Donna, before leaving the stadium with the Chiefs tight end. Swift’s attendance — which has been commented upon by everyone in football from Patrick Mahomes to Bill Belichick — definitely didn’t dispel rumors that the musician and athlete may be dating, which began surfacing in recent months after Travis confessed in May to having a crush on Swift.

“It was fun watching the whole world take it in, to be honest with you,” Jason told the radio show Wednesday morning (Sept. 27). “But yeah, I’m more focused on talking to Trav and Mom after the game and seeing how everything went, and hopefully, everything went smoothly for her.”

“I saw videos of the brigade that the Chiefs had to put outside the suite that she was in – you just hope that somebody of her level and stature can enjoy the game,” he continued, touching on the global superstar’s security needs. “And it certainly, I mean, seemed like she was enjoying it from all accounts and everybody I talked to, so you’re kind of just hoping that she had a good time, and you’re asking questions about her to your mom and whatnot.”

The Eagles offensive lineman went on to address whether his brother and Swift had taken things to the next level following Sunday’s game — although, much like the rest of the world, he doesn’t know that much about it. “I wish I could tell you. I have gotten no inclination from Travis as to what his batting percentage has been or anything like that,” he admitted.

Jason did share, however, that he believes his little bro is opting to take things slow with the “Anti-Hero” singer. “I would say with this one, it definitely seems like he is going above and beyond to be a gentleman,” said the Eagles’ center. “I think that he can probably handle both of those gears when necessary.” 

His latest comments on “Travlor” come about a week after he first fueled the rumor mill by joking that the speculation about his brother’s love life was “one hundred percent true.” Now, he clarifies that he was “just trying to be sarcastic.”

Said Jason: “I’m happy that it finally happened out in the public side, so I can hopefully stop being asked questions about it.”

The NFL team was heading back home after winning their game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday (Sept. 24), but according to KDKA News, the plane landed in Kansas City due to an issue with the oil pressure failing in one of the engines. Thankfully, everyone on board is safe and eventually a replacement plane arrived to take the team back to Pittsburgh.

“Yo @taylorswift13 & @tkelce we might need a ride to Pittsburgh,” Heyward joked on X (formerly known as Twitter) after the incident, referring to Taylor Swift‘s headline making appearance at Travis Kelce‘s game with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The tweet comes one day after Swift cheered on the tight end from his suite alongside his mom, Donna, as the team played the Chicago Bears. In a video clip sports reporter Jarrett Payton shared on X, Kelce and the 12-time Grammy winner are seen walking by him shoulder to shoulder. The NFL star nods in greeting to the anchor and asks, “How you doin’” as Tay flashes Payton a smile and says, “Hey!”

After walking out of the stadium, the twosome were spotted riding off together in his convertible, according to photos acquired by TMZ. Neither the singer-songwriter nor pro football player have confirmed whether or not they’re dating.

Fans Are Obsessed With Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Rumored Romance: ‘This Is the Moment’

The rumored new couple left NFL disciples and Swifties alike reeling after the “Anti-Hero” singer made a surprise appearance at the Sunday night (Sept. 24) Chiefs-Bears game at Arrowhead Stadium, where she was captured cheering Kelce on from a suite box alongside his mother, Donna Kelce. Fans have spent the hours since poring over footage of the pop star banging ecstatically on the glass and cheering after Kelce scored a touchdown in the third quarter, as well as photos and video of Swift leaving the stadium with Kelce at her side.

The fated gameday came months after Kelce first confessed to having a crush on Swift in July, admitting that he tried unsuccessfully to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at an Eras Tour concert that summer. From the jump, some Swifties were rooting for the American athlete to become the Grammy winner’s new love interest, especially as rumors broke out that the two had started seeing each other.

And after Sunday, it looks like most of the country is rooting for him as well. “Taylor Swift, dating an American footballer is literally like the declaration of independence,” joked one fan, touching on Swift’s breakups this year from Brits Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. “free from the shackles of British colonialism! This is the moment.”

One fan tweeted, “if this sticks they will literally be the closest thing america has to a royal couple.”

“The chokehold that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has on me is INSANE,” wrote another.

Even NFL pros have been weighing in on the matter. After the game, Bill Belichick joked: “Travis Kelce has had a lot of big catches in his career — this would be the biggest.”

Patrick Mahomes too reflected on his touchdown pass to Kelce, saying he knew he “had to get [the ball]” to his teammate to help impress Swift. “I think he wanted to get in the end zone just as much as all the Swifties wanted him to,” added the quarterback.

Keep reading to see some of the best fan reactions to Taylor Swift’s appearance at Arrowhead Stadium — and her likelier-than-ever romance with Travis Kelce — below.

Patrick Mahomes Jokes He Felt ‘Pressure’ to Help Travis Kelce Impress Taylor Swift With a Touchdown

Patrick Mahomes is officially this week’s “MVW” — Most Valuable Wingman. After learning that Taylor Swift was in attendance at Sunday night’s (Sept. 24) Chiefs vs. Bears game to watch her rumored love interest Travis Kelce in action, the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback joked that he felt extra pressure to throw the Chief’s tight end a touchdown-scoring catch so that Kelce could properly impress the pop star.

“I heard she was in the house,” Mahomes said in a post-game interview, moments after his team secured a 41-10 victory over the Bears. “I felt a little bit of pressure. I knew I had to get [the ball] to Trav.”

Indeed, he did. About halfway through the game’s third quarter, Kelce caught a sparkling pass from Mahomes in the end zone. After the play, Swift was seen next to Kelce’s mom, Donna, banging on the glass of their private box suite and cheering.

“I think he wanted to get in the end zone just as much as all the Swifties wanted him to,” added Mahomes, when asked whether he felt extra heat from Swift’s fans to make Kelce look good.

The musician’s surprise appearance at Arrowhead Stadium adds fuel to rumors that she may be dating Kelce, who confessed in July to having a crush on her after his unsuccessful attempt to slip her his phone number at an Eras Tour concert. Last week, he told press that he had invited the “Anti-Hero” singer to attend one of his games, an offer she clearly took him up on. After the game, Swift was seen leaving the stadium with Kelce.

Later, in a press conference, Mahomes recalled the way he found out from Kelce that Swift would be making an appearance at the Chiefs-Bears game. “He told me at the last minute,” he told reporters, according to Fox Sports. “There’s some things with Trav where he kind of just says it and you don’t know if it’s true or not … He was like, ‘Yeah, I think she’s coming to the game this weekend,’ and then moved about his business.”

“Yeah, I mean she’s a pop star, she’s a tremendous singer, tremendous at everything she does,” added the quarterback. “I haven’t got to meet her but I guess if she ends up being with Travis then I will probably get to meet her at some point. She seems like a good person. Hopefully I get to meet her one day.”

Bill Belichick Calls Taylor Swift the ‘Biggest Catch’ of Travis Kelce’s Career

From Swifties to NFL fans — and even coaches Bill Belichick and Andy Reid — everyone is buzzing about Taylor Swift‘s appearance at the Sunday night (Sept. 24) Chiefs-Bears game, where she was spotted passionately cheering on Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.

Although the Chiefs secured a sweeping 41-10 victory over the Bears, commenters generally agreed that Kelce’s apparent success with Swift, whom he’s previously admitted to having a crush on, was the athlete’s biggest win of the night. Even New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick thinks so. When he was asked on The Greg Hill Show about the new “power couple in the NFL,” Belichick joked, “Travis Kelce has had a lot of big catches in his career — this would be the biggest.”

To recap: Shortly after the game began Sunday, the pop star was seen sitting in a private box suite next to Kelce’s mother, Donna, dressed in full Chiefs gear and matching red lipstick. When Kelce caught an epic touchdown thrown by Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter, cameras showed Swift jumping up and down excitedly and seemingly screaming “Let’s f–king go!” Afterward, video and photos showed that Swift left Arrowhead Stadium with Kelce, driving off in the star’s convertible.

Swift’s attendance was such a major gameday talking point that even Kelce’s own coach was asked about their rumored relationship. At a post-game press conference, Andy Reid revealed that he had previously met Swift and even quipped that he was the one who had “set them up.”

In reality, Kelce revealed in July that he had attended Swift’s Eras Tour and tried unsuccessfully at the time to slip her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. Soon afterward, rumors emerged that the two were seeing each other, with Kelce’s brother — Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce — jokingly telling interviewers last week that the dating rumors were “one hundred percent true.”

Shortly after that, Travis revealed he had invited Swift to one of his games, adding that he “threw the ball in her court.” Clearly, she took him up on the offer.

Taylor Swift Leaves With Travis Kelce After Kansas City Chiefs Game: Watch

Was Sunday a fairy tale and Travis Kelce the prince? Taylor Swift didn’t just spend Sept. 24 cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end from his suite alongside his mom, Donna, as the team played the Chicago Bears. According to Jarrett Payton, sports reporter for WGN and co-host of GN Sports, the pop superstar and NFL player left Arrowhead Stadium together after the match, which the Chiefs won 10-41.

In a video clip Payton shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), Kelce and the 12-time Grammy winner are walking by him shoulder to shoulder. The NFL star nods in greeting to the anchor and asks, “How you doin’” as Tay flashes Payton a smile and says, “Heeeeey!”

“Talk about being at the right place at the right time!” Payton captioned the quick clip of the two stars together post game. “Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce leaving Arrowhead together after the game. #Bears #ChiefsKingdom #NFL.”

In the short video, Swift is wearing a red-and-white Chiefs jacket tied around her waist. But she wasn’t the only one wearing the swag of a rumored love interest. Kelce wore what looked like the “1989 Bedroom Painting Set” by Kid Super. The two-piece set includes a cream and light blue denim jacket ($295) and matching pants ($285); both items are currently marked “low in stock.”

After walking out of the stadium, the twosome were spotted riding off together in his convertible, according to photos acquired by TMZ.

Neither the singer-songwriter nor pro football player have confirmed whether they’re dating — though his brother Jason Kelce, a fellow NFL player, has certainly been having fun teasing the rumored romance in various interviews. Travis himself has previously shared his interest in the star. In July, after attending The Eras Tour — also at Arrowhead Stadium — Travis revealed during an appearance on the New Heights podcast that he had tried to slip her his phone number via a friendship bracelet, but failed. “I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” he admitted at the time.

Then on Thursday (Sept. 21), the tight end revealed that he had invited Swift to one of his games. “I threw the ball in her court,” he said on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead.’ We’ll see what happens in the near future.”

He also expressed his surprise at how much publicity their potential relationship has gotten. “It’s hilarious how much traction this has actually got,” the 33-year-old said. “I think it’s, right now, it’s like that old game in school called ‘Telephone,’ where everybody is just whispering in each other’s ear, just hearing some random stuff.”

During a recent interview with NFL+ host Andrew Siciliano, Travis previously addressed the rumors. He confirmed his story about trying to shoot his shot at Swift via an Eras Tour friendship bracelet, but that’s as far as he’d reveal. “I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is,” he said before shutting down further conversation about the pair’s relationship status. “I’m not gonna talk about my personal life.”

The tight end then teased listeners, saying, “I know what you writers wanna hear, and you wanna hear more about that and I’m not gonna give you anything!” When Siciliano asked if Swift had reached out to him, Kelce responded, “And that’s gonna wrap it up here,” thus ending the interview.

Travis Kelce Is Loving the Taylor Swift Jokes From NFL Commentators

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is a good sport when it comes to the ongoing rumors that he’s dating Taylor Swift.

During the game between the Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday (Sept. 17), NFL announcer Ian Eagle slipped in a few Swift lyric references as he called a play from Kelce. “Kelce finds a blank space for the score!” he said, a callback to Swift’s 2014 Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Blank Space.”

NFL Network’s Rich Eisen loaded in plenty of Swift references in his pre-game coverage, as he teased, “You saw it on Thursday night, when Travis Kelce wasn’t in there, it left a ‘blank space,’ but I think he returns today and proves to be the ‘anti-hero.’ Never goes out of ‘style.’”
