The couple's unlikely love story began on an episode of the Kelces' "New Heights" podcast in July 2023 when Travis revealed that he tried to give Swift his phone number on a friendship bracelet at an Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. (If you're like Us, you've lost count of how many times the word "butthurt" has been used since that now-infamous SeatGeek ad aired.) Jason wasted no time jumping into the public conversation, teasing during a September 2023 radio interview that the speculation about Travis dating Swift was "100 percent true." When Swift made her first appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game later that month to cheer on Travis and his team - sitting next to his mom, Donna Kelce, in a VIP suite - Jason shared more thoughts on the same radio show. "It was fun watching the whole world take it in, to be honest with you," he said of the fan frenzy, adding that he was "happy" the secret was finally out "so I can hopefully stop being asked questions about it."

By November 2024, the retired NFL player was proudly introducing himself to fans as "Taylor Swift's boyfriends' brother." That same month, Swift subtly congratulated Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, via social media following news that the couple are expecting their fourth baby girl.

(Before joining Chiefs Kingdom, Swift acknowledged that a lyric from her song "Gold Rush" was a nod to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason's team of 13 years.) In October 2023, Jason joked about Swift's star power, sharing an Instagram pic of Donna sitting with Jake from State Farm (Kevin Miles) at an Eagles game. "I also have a superstar in my corner," he teased in the caption. On a more serious note, Jason has often gushed over seeing his brother so happy with Swift. "We just want to be supportive of him and their relationship and everything that they've got going on, because it's so wonderful right now," he said at an event in June 2024. "He's my brother, he's always going to be my brother." Sitting in the Suite Jason and Kylie joined Swift at a Chiefs game for the first time in January 2024 when Travis' team played the Buffalo Bills in New York. Jason's behavior at the game quickly went viral - none of Us will forget him leaping out of the suite shirtless - and certainly made a memorable first impression on Swift. "Tay said she absolutely loved you," Travis told his brother during an episode of "New Heights" after the game, joking, "[Your] best first impression is the worst impression ever." When the dynamic duo caught up at another Chiefs game during the 2024-2025 season, Jason kept his shirt on. Footage shared via social media in November 2024 showed him hugging Swift in a private suite at Arrowhead Stadium when Travis played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Swift's posse of A-list pals tagged along, from Blake Lively to Ice Spice. "There was so much happening in the suite," Jason said on "New Heights" in February 2024. "Turns out everybody wants to meet Taylor. [Shaquille O'Neal] came into the suite ... I think it was my first really understanding of some of the things she has to deal with. ... It was very overwhelming." Wearing a wrestling mask and Chiefs overalls, Jason partied with Travis and Swift in Las Vegas to celebrate the big win. "Shout-out to [one of] the newest members of the Chiefs Kingdom, Taylor Swift, who has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year," Jason teased on the podcast. Seeing Taylor Swift Bond With His Family 'Means Everything' to Travis Kelce At the 'Eras Tour' Like his brother, Jason attended several Eras Tour concerts throughout Swift's record-breaking run. He experienced the three-hour show for the first time in London in June 2024, later gushing over Swift's "insanely impressive" performance on his and Travis' podcast. "Dude, if I did what she did for one song, I would have to change my clothes," he joked at the time, adding that Swift's dedicated fans make attending the concert even more "memorable." (Pics surfaced online of Jason trading friendship bracelets in the crowd, a tradition Swifties have come to know and love.) Four months later, Jason and Kylie brought two of their daughters, Wyatt and Ellie,
