Nobody likes the off season Jason Kelce.
The Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, and his wife, Kylie Kelcesupported Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs when they faced the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, January 21 and joined their parents Ed And Donna Kelce in the VIP suite. Kelce's family members were seen chatting with Travis' girlfriend. Taylor Swiftbefore kick-off – and the group had plenty to celebrate throughout the match.
Jason immediately went viral after Travis, 34, scored his first touchdown of the night, taking off his shirt and drinking a beer as he jumped into the stands. Swift, 34, and Jason (still shirtless) were later seen sharing a high-five after another big play. In images shared via the official NFL TikTok on Sunday, Jason smiled broadly as he sat behind Swift Patrick Mahomes' woman, Brittany Mahomesin the suite.
Fans continued to share highlights of Jason's game day on social media, from tailgating to taking photos in the stands. At one point, Jason spotted a young Bills fan holding a Swift-inspired sign and made sure the pop star got a glimpse of himself.
“We're going to show this to Taylor,” he said in the sweet video, as he lifted the young girl into his arms and walked to the suite's window. In the background of the clip, another fan could be heard shouting, “You're the best, Kelce!”

While the Chiefs ultimately won 27-24 to earn their spot in the AFC Championship Game, some Bills fans still showed their love for Swift. Jason posed for a selfie with a huddled group of Bills supporters holding a sign that read: “I [heart] T. Swift,” leading some Swifties on X to call him “the President of the Tayvis Nation.”
Jason's NFL season ended earlier this month after the Eagles lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what may have been the final game of his 13-year career. He has yet to officially announce his retirement, but he reportedly informed his teammates of his plans in the locker room after the game.
Both Jason and Travis will play in the 2024 Pro Bowl in Florida next month, but until then, Jason is enjoying his time off. “That's one of the great things about the offseason, it's unplanned,” he told reporters Wednesday, Jan. 17, when asked if he would travel to Upstate New York for the Chiefs game. “So, you know, my brother is obviously still in the playoffs. I don't see him play often, maybe this week I'll get a chance to watch one of those games.”
Fans were excited about the idea of seeing Jason and Kylie with Swift in public for the first time since she started dating Travis last summer. Swift has been loyal to the Chiefs this season, supporting Travis at both home and away games and building a bond with his inner circle.
Jason previously played coy about his brother's A-list relationship in a September 2023 interview, shortly before Swift made her first appearance at Arrowhead Stadium. “Since [Travis’ reality show] Catching Kelce, everyone is in love with Travis' love life. I don't really know what's going on there,” Jason said at the time. “I know Trav is having fun. We'll see what happens to whoever he meets.”
Since then, the couple has been doing well – a source recently said We weekly that they are willing to “keep their connection alive and thriving” as Swift embarks on her next leg Eras tour in February.
