Jason Kelce makes 'staggering' admission about his brother Travis and Taylor Swift and it speaks volumes

Travis Kelce has made 'staggering' changes to his lifestyle since he began dating Taylor Swift, according to his brother.

The NFL star has been in a relationship with the pop icon since 2023 and Swift has been spotted in the stands at several of Kelce's games over the past two seasons.

She was even in attendance at the Super Bowl in New Orleans earlier this month, as Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs were beaten 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Swift has not always been a popular presence in NFL circles since she and Kelce have been an item, either. A poll of players from around the league last year found that some NFL stars believe the attention she garners when she is the arena for Chiefs games distracts from the action on the field.

And when she was shown on the in-stadium big screen at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, her image was met with loud boos. President Donald Trump – who was also at the game – has been a vociferous critic of the megastar songwriter, too.

But those closest to Kelce appear to believe that Swift has been an overwhelmingly positive influence on the six-time All-Pro tight end.

When appearing on the Fitz & Whit podcast recently, Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce – a former Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman for the Eagles – told hosts and former NFL players Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth about how different Travis' life has become since he became involved with the Shake it Off star.

"He was kind of like Peter Pan and the Lost Boys," Jason said of his brother's carefree lifestyle prior to meeting Swift.

“I don’t think he had any couches,” added Fitzpatrick, a former quarterback with the St Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.

"It's been staggering, honestly," Jason Kelce said, discussing the maturation he has seen in his youngster sibling. “Trav, he is growing up. He’s still got, though, that youthful enthusiasm. I think he’ll always have that. It’s just part of his personality.

"Anyone that’s ever met Trav, you can’t but just love the guy. He’s a free spirit in the best possible way.”
