Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce became a talking point when Jason Kelce made an appearance on ESPN’s \u00ab\u00a0College Game Day.\u00a0\u00bb<\/b>
\nVideo footage of Jason Kelce’s reaction to Taylor Swift being called his \u00ab\u00a0future sister-in-law\u00a0\u00bb has gone viral on social media.
Pop star Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce became one of the hottest celebrity couples after going public with their romance in September 2023.
The high-profile relationship has seen Swift support her partner at his NFL games\u2014including his Super Bowl win earlier this year\u2014and Travis Kelce return the favor at a number of her concert dates across the globe.
With the couple’s every move continuing to be a social-media talking point, Jason Kelce faced a comment about his brother’s romance with Swift when he made a guest appearance on ESPN’s College Game Day on Saturday.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center was challenged to kick a field goal in the name of charity, to help raise funds for hurricane relief.
Ahead of the NFL star attempting what would be the first of two kicks, co-host Pat McAfee announced: \u00ab\u00a0Jason Kelce, I’ll be going to your future sister-in-law’s concert tomorrow night in Indianapolis.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0You’re going?\u00a0\u00bb Jason Kelce responded as he prepared for the kick. \u00ab\u00a0Get ready, brother!\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0I’m feeling 22, brother\u00a0\u00bb, McAfee responded, referring to Swift’s track of the same name.
Footage of the exchange was shared on X, formerly Twitter, where it has garnered more than 3.7 million views.
During his College Game Day appearance, Jason Kelce flubbed his kick, prompting McAfee tell him: \u00ab\u00a0Remember what you say about kickers?\u00a0\u00bb On his New Heights podcast last month, Jason Kelce branded the football position unimportant.
Upping the ante, McAfee announced that Jason Kelce was getting a second shot, adding that $200,000 would be donated to relief funds if his attempt was successful.
However, Jason Kelce missed the goal again, to which McAfee jokingly quipped: \u00ab\u00a0This guy sucks.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0I’ve got a whole new respect\u00a0\u00bb, Jason Kelce said. \u00ab\u00a0I suck at kicking, OK!\u00a0\u00bb
His brother, Travis Kelce, has continued to support his partner at shows on her record-breaking Eras Tour whenever his schedule allows\u2014as Swift has also done for him.
Swift’s support of Kelce last season brought a flood of media attention\u2014much to the exasperation of some football fans.
\u00ab\u00a0I’m just there to support Travis\u00a0\u00bb, Swift told Time in an interview in late 2023. \u00ab\u00a0I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and p****** off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.\u00a0\u00bb
Addressing the cameras often panning her way, Swift said: \u00ab\u00a0I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when [the] camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0Football is awesome, it turns out\u00a0\u00bb, Swift added (\u00ab\u00a0playfully\u00a0\u00bb, according to Sam Lansky, the author of the story). \u00ab\u00a0I’ve been missing out my whole life.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
