Jason Kelce is expressing admiration for Taylor Swift.
In a WCPO 9 interview shared on X (formerly Twitter) last Friday, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce discussed the NFL’s attention on Taylor Swift, 34, due to her relationship with Jason’s younger brother, Travis Kelce.
“The attention’s there because the audience wants to see it, I mean, if people didn’t want to see it they wouldn’t be showing it, I know that,” Jason, 36, said.
“She’s a world star, she’s the quintessential, you know, artist right now in the world,” he continued, then describing the “singer-songwriter” as “immensely talented,” as well as an “unbelievable role model for young women across the globe.”
“I think that the NFL would probably be foolish not to, you know, show her and … be a role model for all the young girls out there,” Jason added.
This week, Jason Kelce’s recent remarks mark another instance of him celebrating the pop superstar.
Earlier this week, on the “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce” podcast, Jason referred to Swift as the “newest member” of the Kansas City Chiefs fan club.
“Shout out to the newest members of the Chiefs Kingdom,” Jason said in the Wednesday episode, before he joked, “Taylor Swift, who has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year.”
“Shout out to Tay!” Travis, 34, then responded with a laugh, adding. “Thanks for joining the team!”
The Kelce family and Swift were seen celebrating after the Chiefs’ AFC Championship victory on Sunday. Following Travis’ team’s win against the Buffalo Bills, securing a spot in the Super Bowl on Feb. 11, he was photographed kissing Swift on the field.
Following the heartfelt embrace, the tight end located his brother, and the two exchanged numerous big hugs and handshakes.
“You keep your shirt on this time?” Travis joked to his brother — referencing Jason’s shirtless antics at the Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 21. “I did … for right now. We’ll see how it goes,” Jason responded.
The father of three became emotional as he congratulated his younger brother on the Chiefs’ 17-10 triumph over the Ravens, securing his return to the Super Bowl for a second consecutive year.
“I know it wasn’t easy. I know it was a hard year,” Jason said. “Finish it. Finish this motherf—-er!”
