Jason Kelce was clearly comfortable when he met Taylor Swift for the first time.
On Wednesday’s episode of his “New Heights” podcast, the Philadelphia Eagles center reflected on the day he met the singer dating his younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
Jason Kelce had attended the Chiefs’ football game against the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, New York, on Sunday, spending much of his time there without a shirt. At various points in the game, he was filmed screaming from a luxury suite where he was watching with Swift and family members.
On “New Heights,” Travis Kelce told his older brother that the “Cruel Summer” singer was not put off by his antics over the weekend.
“Tay said she absolutely loved you,” he said.
But Jason Kelce said that his wife, Kylie Kelce, may have had a different opinion about his partying.
“I don’t think she was happy about it, to be honest with you,” he said.
“I’m not going to lie — I gave Kylie a heads-up,” he added. “The moment we got into the suite, I said, ‘I’m taking my shirt off and I’m jumping out of that suite.’”
“Jason, don’t you dare,” Kylie Kelce responded, according to the Eagles player.
Jason Kelce also said that his wife had told him to be on his “best behavior” since they were meeting Swift for the first time that day.
Thankfully, the singer apparently didn’t mind his shenanigans.

Jason Kelce seemed to have a good time cheering on the Chiefs, with the team ultimately winning Sunday’s game 27-24. In addition to his shirtless partying, he could be seen in various online videos tailgating with Bills fans and even showing love to Swifties.
In one clip, the Eagles center was filmed lifting up a young girl in front of the luxury suite so that she could show Swift a sign she’d made for her.
The 8-year-old, Ella, told Today on Tuesday that seeing the singer was “amazing.”
“It was the happiest I’ve ever seen her,” said the girl’s mom, Jessica Piazza. “He [Jason Kelce] was so kind to her, and I was just so thankful that he gave her the chance to see Taylor.”
