Jason Kelce has a bone to pick among Taylor Swift fans!
The center of the Philadelphia Eagles (36) joked in the last episode The New Heights Podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce that the Swifties flipped the votes on the “NFL Best Name Team” podcast by voting for the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Swifties have this unreal crush on the Chiefs and Travis Kelce, and they only vote based on the love of you, not the love of the team name,” Jason quipped to Travis Kelce’s brother. “So it wasn’t a realistic representation.”
In turn, the Chiefs tight end accused his brother of rigging votes in favor of the Buffalo Bills and claimed he “totally screwed the Chiefs over to win.”
Jason jokingly noted that the Swifties retaliated by voting for the Minnesota Vikings instead of his team the Philadelphia Eagles, as he was campaigning for the Bills to beat the Chiefs.

“Why the hell are you blaming all the losses on [Swifties]?,” Travis said laughing.
“Well the Swifties got really upset, they don’t understand our politics,” Jason teased. “So they got real [accusatory] how I manipulate voices.”

However, Jason later changed his tune and asked Swift’s fans for help when the brothers announced on their podcast that they were nominated for Podcast of the Year, Best Sports Podcast and Best Ensemble Overall at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards.
“Swifites, we’re talking to you right now, let’s rig this vote,” Jason jokingly implored fans. “This is not for me, this is for Travis. Please go and vote yes New heights show as podcast of the year.”
Travis interjected, “You know 92 percent what to do.”

Despite all his jokes, Jason only had positive things to say about the “Anti-Hero” singer and her relationship with his brother.
“I was fortunate to meet Taylor now,” Jason said in an NFL interview at the 2024 Pro Bowl. [an] a great, honest, down-to-earth person, which was great to see, whenever you see anybody of that caliber of star.”
He added that while his family is getting more media attention now, the only thing he’s worried about is Travis’ happiness.
“My brother and his love life are definitely the talk of the NFL right now, and as long as Trav is happy and enjoying life, I’m happy and enjoying life,” Jason continued.
