In an interview with WCPO 9, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce expressed admiration for Taylor Swift. Discussing the attention Swift receives due to her relationship with his younger brother, Travis, Jason noted that it is due to the audience’s interest.
“The attention’s there because the audience wants to see it; I mean, if people didn’t want to see it, they wouldn’t be showing it, I know that,” he said. “She’s a world star; she’s the quintessential, you know, artist right now in the world.”
He highlighted that the “Out of the Woods” singer is “immensely talented” and an “unbelievable role model for young women across the globe.”

Travis Kelce Credits Taylor Swift And His Family For Being An Inspiration
Speaking in Kansas City as preparations for the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers are underway, Travis expressed how Swift and his family serve as inspirations for him to give his best on the field for the Kansas City Chiefs this season.
Reflecting on the emotional scenes from last week, the tight end mentioned the cherished journey and the invaluable support from Swift and his family as they joined him on the field to celebrate the Chiefs’ AFC Championship victory over the Ravens.
The victory was particularly impressive, considering the Ravens were favored by many to beat the Chiefs and advance to win the Super Bowl.
“It’s another memory in the journey we get to cherish, man,” he said. “I’m fortunate that I have all the support I need off the field, and it gives me a reason to play that much harder, the people you just mentioned.”
Travis Kelce Might Not Join Taylor Swift At The Grammy Awards
Amid the celebrations, recent reports have revealed that Travis will not be joining Taylor Swift for her big night at the 2024 Grammys, taking place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4.
While Swift would definitely feel good about making history once again, her night at the award ceremony might be dampened by Kelce’s absence. This has raised questions from fans who expected him to attend, as Swift has often shown up at several of his games in recent months.
The superstar singer is one of the few musicians up for multiple awards, clinching six nominations, two more than the nods she got from the previous year.
According to a report, Kelce’s absence has no connection to any issues in their relationship. Instead, it’s solely due to his “strict schedule” for the Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in the upcoming Super Bowl.
