Jason Kelce has nothing but love for his brother’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, but he’s drawn a line in the sand when it comes to calling in favors.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center, 37, revealed on Monday, November 25, that Swift, 34, has told him he can give Eras Tour tickets to his friends whenever he wants, but he’s declined her offer.
“She’s been nothing but lovely to our family, she’s a wonderful person and I don’t want that to kind of be a dynamic,” Kelce explained on The Rich Eisen Show, adding that he never says yes to people who ask him for an Eras Tour hookup. “It is an immediate no. As much as Taylor has said she will take care of anybody that I ask for.”
The Monday Night Football commentator added, “She does say that, she’s very … she’s great, but I still say no to everybody. I’m not gonna be the one to impose on that. I don’t want to put that position out there.”
Swift has been dating Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce, since summer 2023. Travis, 35, attended his first Eras Tour show in July of last year, which famously led to his romance with the pop star. After he tried and failed to meet her at the concert, he detailed the experience on his and Jason’s “New Heights” podcast.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift told TIME in December 2023. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”
Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, meanwhile, attended their first Eras Tour performance in June of this year when Swift played at London’s Wembley Stadium. After the show, Jason was full of praise for the Grammy winner.
“It was insanely impressive,” he gushed on a June episode of his podcast. “Obviously, Taylor’s an amazing singer, songwriter, but then to be able to go out there and be a performer at that level. She was up there for like, three and a half hours, four hours?”
He went on to joke, “Man, I’m tired of drinking these beers and Taylor’s still singing! This is amazing. Can’t feel my hand anymore because all these friendship bracelets are cutting off my circulation. … It was an awesome experience. Obviously, the Swifties make it a very memorable experience.”
Jason took in the Eras Tour again last month in Miami, this time with his mom, Donna Kelce, as well as Kylie, 32, and their kids. The couple share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 21 months. Kylie recently announced that she is expecting the couple’s fourth baby.
After viral photos seemed to show Jason falling asleep mid-concert, he denied snoozing off. “I did not take a nap,” he said on an October episode of his podcast. “Everybody’s staring at me. So I just sit down … and I’m just feeling it. I’m tapping my thigh and I’m just in the moment listening to the song. And then all of a sudden, I go on Twitter and I see this f—ing picture and I’m like, ‘Dude, what the f—? Like, I’m not even sleeping and I can prove it to you.’”
