Jason Kelce opens up about avoiding conversations regarding Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are one of the most talked-about couples in the NFL. Being an elder brother to Travis, it's obvious for Jason to expect questions about the tight end's relationship with Swift in public.
In his latest appearance on The Pivot podcast, the former Eagles center revealed how he prefers avoiding conversation about his brother's relationship in public. Jason started by recalling the tight end's viral friendship incident with Swift, as he said:
"There was a lead-up to it, there was the whole thing on the pod about him trying to get a friendship bracelet to her, so I knew that there was something. But I think he was very cautious about even telling me or anybody because the reality is she is under such a microscope." (47:26)
“I think they wanted to make sure everything was done in a way that was respectful to people's privacy, and I think they are still trying to do that. Even now, I want to be respectful of them and I don't want anybody to feel like there is like a perceived - like I am violating some sort of private relationship," he added.
Jason expressed how he feels it's not his place to talk about Travis' relationship, especially in public.
"It's really not my place to speak on their relationship, but he is my brother, and I am very happy for him. You just have to be conscious of how you are saying things because it is under such a microscope," the former Eagles center said.
Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs won the season-opener game against the Baltimore Ravens. Taylor Swift was present in her VIP suite cheering for the tight end. Later, the singer revealed feeling "fantastic" about the Chiefs' Week 1 victory over the Ravens.
