Jason Kelce is an official Swiftie.
The Philadelphia Eagles center praised Taylor Swift and called her “immensely talented” in a new interview.
The music star is currently dating his brother Travis Kelce, who is also a fellow NFL star. The 36-year-old was discussing the attention the celebrity couple have been receiving, as well as the coverage of the songwriter when she attends any of his games.
The dad-of-three spoke to WCPO 9: “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.
“She’s a world star, she’s the quintessential, you know, artist right now in the world.”
He then said she was “immensely talented” and said she was an “unbelievable role model for young women across the globe”.
Jason Kelce added: “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.”
Taylor and Travis Kelce’s relationship went official back in September after she was seen at Arrowhead Stadium supporting the tight end at his game. Before this, there was speculation the two might get together after the athlete put her on blast for ignoring his request to speak after attending one of her concerts.
However, they did end up talking and it was Taylor who reached out to him in a DM and the pair hit it off. The star spoke to Time Magazine in December after being named Person of the Year and said they were already a couple when she made her appearance. Although Taylor Swift recently clapped back against a ‘hater’ who hurled abuse at her when she went to meet Travis on the field.
It’s not the first time Jason has spoken about Swift, he jokingly congratulated her for making it to the Super Bowl as a ‘rookie’ with Travis Kelce.
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens last week and will be going head-to-head against the San Francisco 49ers in the Las Vegas showdown.
He said during their podcast, New Heights: “Shout out to the newest members of the Chiefs Kingdom, Taylor Swift, who has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year.”
However, the week before, when he famously ripped off his shirt and screamed in celebration after Travis’ touchdown, he admitted his wife Kylie Kelce had told him to be on his “best behavior”. This is because the pair were meeting Taylor for the first time. But it seems that wasn’t the case.
Jason joked he doesn’t “ask permission” and said his charm was forming a terrible first impression he can then build from.
