And she said, 'Jason, don't you dare.' I don't ask permission, I do this.”
Jason confessed that Kylie told him to “be on his best behavior” around Swift. “I was like, 'Kylie, the first day I met you, I blacked out and fell asleep in a bar,'” he joked. “This is part of Jason Kelce's charm. I want to make my best first impression, this is my best chance. Set the bar nice and low.”
