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.”
