Former football center Jason Kelce stated that his younger brother, Travis Kelce, had undergone “staggering” changes because of Taylor Swift. Notably, the Kansas City Chiefs tight-end started dating the singer in 2023, and their relationship has drawn widespread media and public attention.
So, here’s what Jason Kelce shared about the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker and how she has positively impacted his sibling.
What did Jason Kelce say about Taylor Swift?
The former Philadelphia Eagles center, who is two years older than Travis Kelce, recently reflected on the latter’s relationship with Taylor Swift.
During Jason Kelce’s appearance on the February 18 edition of the Fitz & Whit podcast, co-host Ryan Fitzpatrick mentioned that he saw just a basketball hoop and pool table in Travis’ living room when he visited him three years ago. This prompted Jason to note that the changes he had seen in his brother since he started dating Swift had been “staggering.”
During the interview, the former NFL star stated that one of the things he loved about Travis was that “he never grew up,” before observing that his brother was growing up now “for sure.” He added, “It’s changing. I think sometimes you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you and that’s a good thing,”
Jason elaborated, “Trav, he is growing up. “He’s still got, though, that youthful enthusiasm. I think he’ll always have that. It’s just part of his personality. … Anyone that’s ever met Trav, you can’t but just love the guy. He’s a free spirit in the best possible way.”
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift reportedly started dating in mid-2023. Later that year, they publicly confirmed their relationship. In late 2024, various outlets reported that the Grammy winner’s family hosted Travis, along with Jason and his family for Thanksgiving in Nashville, Tennessee.
People cited a source to report at the time, “Taylor and Travis had a great Thanksgiving together with their families. It’s the first they’ve celebrated together. Jason was there with his family and kids too. It was very festive and special.”
