Sunday’s AFC divisional playoff game in Buffalo will see the Bills and Chiefs meet, but it could also see Taylor Swift finally introduced to someone extremely close to her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Travis’ brother, Jason, is a star center for the Eagles, but his team is eliminated from the playoffs after losing to the Buccaneers in the first round. So with Jason’s schedule now clear, and Taylor typically a fixture at Travis’ games, could the two meet at Highmark Stadium? Taylor was in attendance last weekend in frigid Kansas City as the Chiefs handled the Dolphins, while Jason, who is rumored to be retiring, joked on he and Travis’ ‘New Heights’ podcast that he may attend the game so he can jump through a table with the Bills Mafia.
The game will be the third postseason meeting between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, with Mahomes and the Chiefs 2-0 thus far. The contest will kick off at 6:30ET. Swift and Kelce went public with their relationship in September, though Jason and his wife, Kylie, have reportedly not made the singer feel too welcome. In November, before Jason’s Eagles played the Chiefs in Kansas City, Kylie Kelce gave an interview saying that the spotlight ‘is not particularly my cup of tea’ and that she prefers to watch games from the stands rather than the luxury suits from where Swift cheers the Chiefs.
Kylie’s quotes about the spotlight particularly irked Swift, with a source telling Life and Style: ‘Taylor took that personally and since then it’s been very awkward.’ Swift has met Kelce’s parents – mom Donna and father Ed – but so far, there have been no pictures of her meeting with Jason, who Travis is extremely close to, or Kylie. Life and Style also quoted a source as saying: ‘Taylor hasn’t had the best reception from Jason and his wife.
Kylie, though, publicly rejected suggestions her ‘spotlight’ comments were meant as criticism of Taylor. In a follow-up TikTok post, Kylie criticized a headline suggesting she was being critical, saying: ‘Go watch that video. I said it’s not my cup of tea to have attention on me. I didn’t say that. That seems like a stretch to me. You’re reaching!’.
And soon after that, she used a Taylor Swift song on a TikTok video about her four-year-old daughter, Wyatt. ‘If you’re gonna try to make a headline out of this, you better offer a suggestion of a better audio…because there isn’t one,’ Kylie said, paying tribute to Swift in a heartfelt post about her child. Jason has seen his profile spiral due to his closeness with Travis, but the older Kelce brother is typically more reserved.
‘Taylor understands that it can be exhausting, but she can’t help that everything she does becomes front-page news,’ the source added to Life and Style. The brothers co-host the extremely successful ‘New Heights’ podcast in which Jason often quizzes Travis about his personal life on their podcast, and he’s always appeared extremely supportive of his relationship with Swift.
Swift was meant to be at the Eagles-Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium in November but was forced to move a tour date in Brazil to the date of the game, with her initial show postponed due to extreme heat. She reportedly planned to bring her parents to the game to meet Donna and Ed, and it would have been a natural opportunity for her to have met Jason and Kylie as well. Perhaps that meeting will finally happen this Sunday.
