Jason Kelce: Travis, Taylor Swift can’t be ‘normal’ amid ‘crazy’ fame
Jason Kelce addressed his brother Travis’ ‘crazy’ level of fame amid his relationship with global superstar, Taylor Swift.
The retired NFL player doesn’t think the Chiefs tight end can be a ‘normal person’ with such an intense spotlight on him and his girlfriend.
‘Kylie and I think we have it bad and then we go hang out with one of them for a second,’ Jason said on Friday’s episode of Andrew Santino’s ‘Whiskey Ginger’ podcast, referencing his wife Kylie Kelce.
‘Travis and Taylor have taken it to another level,’ he went on.
‘This is a whole other situation here … Like, you can’t be a normal person at that point.’
Elsewhere during the episode, the Philadelphia Eagles legend insisted his younger brother hasn’t changed at all since becoming a household name.
‘I don’t think anybody has changed really,’ Jason explained.
‘Listen, we’re always getting older and wiser and evolving our opinions. I think Trav, he’s a very comfortable person in almost any scenario. He’s such a unique individual. I’ve never seen him uncomfortable anywhere,’ he continued.
‘I haven’t seen him change one bit. I think it’s a compliment. He’s stayed true to himself; he’s still humble, he treats everyone with the upmost respect like they’re equals, regardless of who they are.’
The future Hall of Famer, who ended his legendary 13-year NFL career with the Eagles earlier this year, also revealed that he often turns to Travis for advice.
‘I ask Travis’ opinion on a lot of things because Travis, and I really mean this, has some of the best instincts just in general of anybody I’ve ever talked to,’ he said.
‘And nine times out of 10, I’ll comment something and I’m trying to think it out, and I’m going somewhere with it… and he just says something so point blank.’
Earlier this week, the Kansas City star credited the people in his inner circle for keeping him ‘grounded.’
‘When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life that much easier,’ Travis said during an appearance on Good Morning America.
‘I’ve always been a very grounded guy,’ the three-time Super Bowl winner added.
‘It might not come off like that when I’m playing football, but off the field, I just want to be a genuine person.’
He began dating the Love Story songstress last July after he attended her Eras Tour show in Missouri.
They confirmed their romance when she attended the Chiefs’ game against the Bears in September 2023 at Arrowhead Stadium.
