Travis Kelce's Taylor Swift namedrop proves singer's attitude to NFL aside from his games

If NFL fans wondered whether Taylor Swift only tunes into games when Travis Kelce is playing, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has confirmed otherwise .

Travis and Swift laughed while watching his brother Jason Kelce make his NFL Monday Night Football debut with ESPN during the San Francisco 49ers 32-19 win over the New York Jets. On the 100th episode of their football podcast "New Heights," the Kelce brothers discussed the major storylines from Week 1 of the NFL season, including the Chiefs win over the Baltimore Ravens, Saquon Barkley's huge rushing day , and Jason's debut on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown.

After retiring from the NFL following 123 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason switched careers to become a football analyst during Monday Night Football. But his first day on the job didn't come easy after he admitted to forgetting the travel bag with his clothing, forcing him to buy a shirt from a mall that didn't fit.

After shaking hands with Scott Van Pelt and Ryan Clark during the show to welcome him to the cast, the camera caught Jason's chest exposed as the shirt buttons struggled to hold together. Van Pelt then told the story of Kelce's replacement top, forcing him to relive the moment on the podcast.

"It fits my belly now. I've lost a little bit of weight, but my ---- were struggling," Travis said after recalling his brother's words. The Chiefs tight end began laughing before mentioning that he and Taylor enjoyed watching the moment, confirming that Swift casually watches NFL games even when Travis isn't on the field.

Swift became an ongoing topic during last year's NFL season due to her frequent appearances at Chiefs games in support of Kelce. But, as the NFL continued efforts to capitalize off her gravitational pull financially , traditional football fans pushed back with resistance in hopes of a broadcast without featuring the pop sensation.

"I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast," Swift admitted after hearing the backlash.

"I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. I’m just there to support Travis [Kelce]. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads."

Swift admitted that the NFL was "Awesome," and that she was thankful for Travis making the game a constant in her life. But even before their love connection became public, the chart-topping songstress stated her allegiance to the Eagles during her Eras Tour as a Pennsylvania native.
