During this time of year, when people are thinking about being thankful for those special people in their lives, Jason Kelce has one person in particular who he is especially grateful for. During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show on Monday (Nov. 25), the former Philadelphia Eagles center told the host that being swept into Taylor Swift‘s orbit over the past year has been a “whirlwind.”
Since his younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, began dating Swift last summer, Jason told Eisen that some people have been asking him for for tickets to her massive Eras Tour stadium shows, and he always gives the same answer. “Thankfully I don’t get a lot of people reaching out for Taylor Swift tickets… it is an immediate no. But, I don’t get a lot of that,” Jason Kelce said.
That said, Jason noted that Swift has been adamant that anyone who needs a pair of tix for the tour that is slated to wrap up next week with a final run of three gigs in in Vancouver at BC Place Stadium is totally welcome to be placed on her personal VIP list. “Taylor has said she will take care of anybody that I ask for,” he said. “She does say that, she’s great, but I still say no to everybody.”
Jason — who is expecting his fourth child with wife Kylie Kelce — explained that he just doesn’t want to be that guy who imposes on the 34-year-old singer, or puts her in an awkward position. Why? Because, he said, “she’s been nothing but lovely to our family, she’s a wonderful person and I don’t want that to kind of be a dynamic.”
Eisen asked Kelce to clarify that Swift has given him a “clear path” to tickets that the former NFL star has shut down. “Yeah… where’s the line? Exactly, so I’m not even broaching the line,” he said. “I’m staying away from the line.”
Like his younger brother, Jason has attended a number of Eras Tour shows, including with Kylie in London in June, as well as with their two oldest daughters in Miami last month. In addition, Taylor has frequently been spotted hanging with the Kelce family in skyboxes during Travis’ Chiefs games over the past year.
