Pop superstar Taylor Swift revealed details about her memorable first interaction with former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, the brother of her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, while appearing on the Kelce brothers' New Heights podcast released on Wednesday (August 13).
Jason and his wife, Kylie, met Swift for the first time in-person at the Chiefs' AFC Divisional Round playoff game in January 2024, when he famously chugged beers shirtless and climbed through a luxury suite window to interact with fans.
“Did you know I was told to be on my best behavior?” Jason asked.
“I didn’t know what you were told. I did know that one of the first things I saw you say to (wife) Kylie (was), ‘I was just shotgunning beers with the Bills Mafia and I really want to go through one of the fire tables.’ … She goes, ‘OK. Can we not do that right now?’” Swift responded, adding that she’s since heard Kylie use the same verbiage while speaking to the couple's 4-year-old daughter.
Swift then said that Jason and Kylie were "exactly" what she expected prior to their initial meeting.
“I meet you, you’re exactly as I thought you would be. Kylie is exactly as I thought she would be,” Swift said, per the outlet. “The realest. The smartest, the coolest. You’re fantastic.”
Swift said she participated in the New Heights interview because it was her "favorite podcast" and joked that it "got me a boyfriend."
"This podcast has done a lot for me, I owe a lot to this podcast. This podcast got me a boyfriend ever since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago," Swift said, referencing Kelce saying he attempted to give her a friendship bracelet when he attended her her 'Eras Tour' concert at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Chiefs, prior to their relationship.
Swift then revealed that Kelce "didn't even reach out to our management" when he and quarterback Patrick Mahomes attended the concert.
"He came with Pat and he thought that cause he knows the elevator lady that he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room," Swift said.
"Yeah, that's how it works, you just go," Jason joked before laughing.
"That's how it works in 1973," Swift responded. "But yeah, he really was just like, 'yeah, I know a guy, I can figure this out.'"
