Former Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center turned ESPN analyst Jason Kelce said he turned down a generous offer from pop superstar Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, for her 'Eras Tour' during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show Monday (November 25).
Kelce said Swift "has been nothing but lovely" to his family since she and Travis began dating in 2023, specifically telling him that she "will take care of anybody" he asks to attend her shows, though he insisted he doesn't ever "want to impose." The former Super Bowl champion said he doesn't "get a lot of people reaching out for Taylor Swift tickets" but noted that "it is an immediate no" when they do as he doesn't want to put the "great" pop star in "that position."
“She is a wonderful person,” Jason said, acknowledging that he doesn't want free tickets to "be a dynamic" between himself and Swift.
“Where is the line?” he asked. “I’m not even broaching the line, I’m staying away from the line!”
Jason's wife, Kylie, announced the couple was expecting their fourth daughter in a post shared on her Instagram account Friday (November 22), which was liked by Swift. Jason and Taylor after recently shared a moment at Arrowhead Stadium after he defended her during a viral incident.
The elder Kelce was seen hugging Swift and her mother, Andrea, in a luxury suite at Arrowhead Stadium during the Chiefs' Monday Night Football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The interaction came days after he was seen smashing a person's phone on the campus of Penn State University Saturday (November 2) after they yelled a slur about Travis while referencing his relationship with Swift.
Kelce is one of the most celebrated players in Eagles history, starting at center in all 193 games of his 13-year NFL career, including the franchise's lone Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl LII, while being selected as a first-team All-Pro six times (2017-19, 2021-23) and Pro Bowler seven times (2014, 2016, 2019-23).
