Jason Kelce revealed that he grew emotional while watching his brother’s girlfriend Taylor Swift perform at Wembley Stadium.
Last Friday, the former Philadelphia Eagles center and his wife, Kylie attended their first ‘Eras Tour’ concert in London. During the latest episode of the “ New Heights Podcast ,” Jason commended Swift - who’s dating his brother and podcast co-host Travis - for her incredible performance.
“It was insanely impressive,” he began. “Obviously Taylor's an amazing singer-songwriter, but then to be able to go out there and be a performer at that level for how long she was up there for, like, three and a half, four hours?”

“If I did what she did for one song, I would have to change my clothes,” Jason continued. “Man, I'm tired of drinking these beers and Taylor's still singing.”
It didn’t take long for Jason to fit right in with the 90,000 Swifities in attendance at Wembley Stadium. As Swift brought the house down with a 45-song setlist, the retired NFL star was seen trading friendship bracelets with fans - eventually amassing an impressive collection that nearly covered the entirety of his forearm.
“I can't feel my hand anymore because all these friendship bracelets are cutting off my circulation,” he recalled. “It was an awesome experience. Obviously the Swifties make it very memorable. They know all of the songs.”

Though Jason thoroughly enjoyed the entirety of the concert, one moment in particular stood out for him. While watching the ‘Eras Tour’ tradition in which Swift gives a fan in the crowd her fedora during the song “22,” the 36-year-old admitted that he was nearly brought to tears.
“The 22 hat? Dude, I've never cried at a concert and I was literally tearing up watching this little girl's entire … I'm about to tear up right now. It was so special,” he said. Travis agreed with the sentiment, responding: “She got into it, man. It was awesome. Every single show she does it. And she makes every show unique with the acoustic set.”
Jason praised Swift for her ability to captivate such a large audience with only her voice and a guitar, adding: “That was my favorite part. It's just her, a guitar, and 90,000 people. And she's blending from one song to another ... Like, to be good in front of 90,000 people with just that, I think you have to be amazing.
“And you have to, one, have great songs and great lyrics, which she obviously has written and made. And then two, be able to perform those seamlessly on the spot, nothing else to hide it, just that was the highlight of the evening for me. It feels like you're in a bar just listening to somebody play on a piano.”
