Travis Kelce’s Brother Jason Says He’s ‘Happy’ About Taylor Swift Relationship But Raises Concerns

Jason Kelce is feeling good about his brother Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift — but he’s not quite so hot on how fanatical some of the press coverage has been.

Speaking with NBC Sports’ Peter King on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles center said that the attention has been unusual and unexpected.

“It’s certainly been weird, the level that it is now,” Jason said. “On one hand, I’m happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he’s excited about, that he is genuine about. But there’s another end of it where it’s like, ‘Man, this is a lot.'”

“There’s paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I’m like, ‘Is that really necessary information to share?'” he continued. “This is another level of stardom that typically football players don’t deal with.”

The NFL pro added, “So, on one hand, [I’m] really, really happy for my brother and where he’s at in his current situation with Taylor. But on the other hand, there’s some, I think, alarms sometimes with how you know, over-in-pursuit people can be.”

Jason said that he knows Travis “can deal with some of this. As long as it’s not, you know, becoming a threat to his safety and things like that.”

Jason’s remarks, which he made on Sunday, come hours after Taylor and Travis stole the spotlight at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Kansas City Chiefs trounced the Los Angeles Charges 31-17.

After the dust settled and the game was won, the pop superstar and the NFL star were photographed hanging out with Travis’s teammate, Mecole Hardman Jr., and his partner, Chariah Gordon. 

Chariah took to Instagram to share photos from the exciting night, posting a gallery of photos featuring her, Mecole, Travis and Taylor seemingly taken at Arrowhead Stadium. The photos featured shots of the two couples smiling into the camera, as well as one shot with Taylor sweetly kissing Travis on the cheek as they posed alongside an embracing Mecole and Chariah.

A source told ET on Monday that “Travis remains focused on his career, and is committed to playing the best game he can.”

“His star continues to rise with everything falling perfectly into place, including his budding romance with Taylor,” the source said. “The two continue to support each other in their endeavors and are taking things slow.”

It’s likely because of the Chiefs’ winning streak that the Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid has no problem at all with Taylor coming to so many games (where she seems to inadvertently steal a bit of the spotlight from the sport itself).

Speaking with reporters after the game, the head coach said with a smile, “Kelce keeps getting better with time. Taylor can stay around all she wants.”

Sunday marks Taylor’s fourth time supporting the Chiefs, as she cheered on No. 87 — whom she has been linked to since September. Her last appearance in the stadium came earlier this month when Travis and the Chiefs defeated the Denver Broncos. Swift — who skipped the previous game — was back in the stands cheering alongside Travis’s mother, Donna Kelce.
