Taylor Swift is revealing her very first impression of Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie.
Appearing as a guest on the Wednesday, August 12, episode of the “New Heights” podcast, the pop star recalled meeting boyfriend Travis Kelce’s brother and sister-in-law at a Kansas City Chiefs game in early 2024.
“Did you know I was told to be on my best behavior?” Jason, 37, asked during the special edition of the podcast which he and Travis, 35, cohost.
“I didn’t know what you were told,” Swift, 35, replied. “I did know that one of the first things I saw you say to Kylie [was], ‘I was just shotgunning beers with the Bills Mafia and I really want to go through one of the fire tables.’ … She goes, ‘OK. Can we not do that right now?’”
“Since then, I’ve heard her say that exact thing to your 4-year-old,” Swift joked before telling Jason, “I meet you, you’re exactly as I thought you would be. Kylie is exactly as I thought she would be. The realest. The smartest, the coolest. You’re fantastic.”
Swift’s initial encounter with Jason and Kylie happened in a VIP suite at the Chiefs’ AFC Divisional Playoff game versus the Buffalo Bills on January 21, 2024. There, Jason ripped his shirt off, screamed out the window while holding a can of beer, then jumped into the stands.
“I swear to god, Jason, you flew through the window at lightspeed,” Swift recalled, adding, “I love this new world that Travis has shown me. It’s so fun. It’s so exciting.”
Jason, who retired from the NFL last year, married Kylie, 33, in April 2018. The twosome are parents to daughter Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 4 months old. (Swift said on “New Heights” that she’s been baking sourdough bread with the girls and is currently workshopping a “funfetti” version “because they love everything rainbow.”)
Jason previously admitted on the podcast that Kylie wasn’t thrilled about his decision to go shirtless.
“I don’t think she was happy about it, to be honest with you,” the former Philadelphia Eagle said in January 2024. “I gave Kylie a heads-up the moment we got into the suite. And she said, ‘Jason don’t you dare.’”
He noted at the time that Kylie was “already telling me to be on my best behavior ‘cause we were meeting Taylor.” He reminded her, “Kylie, when I met you, the first day I met you I was black-out drunk and fell asleep at the bar. This is part of the charm. This is part of the Jason Kelce charm.”
Jason told Kylie that he was “not asking for permission” to remove his shirt.
Earlier this year, Kylie addressed her husband’s past behavior on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, joking that Elliotte had asked “something along the lines of ‘Why are Dad’s boobs out?’”
