Travis Kelce gives Taylor Swift sweet shout-out, calls her fame ‘only reasonable’ explanation for jersey sales spike
Travis Kelce gave Taylor Swift a sweet shout-out while discussing the recent spike in his merch sales.
In Wednesday’s episode of their “New Heights” podcast, Jason Kelce announced that he and his brother have the top two bestselling NFL jerseys across the pond.
“A lot of Swifties over there in the UK,” the Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, assumed, with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, adding, “It’s the only reasonable solution to all of this.”
Jason joked that fans abroad “maybe don’t watch football” and “they’re like, ‘I heard this Kelce guy dates Taylor Swift,’” leading them to purchase Eagles jerseys by accident.
Travis, however, suggested that they might just be fans of Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce.
“Shout-out to Taylor, shout-out to Kylie,” he ended the segment. “Thank you, guys.”

Travis’ nod to the “You’re Losing Me” singer comes on what happens to be her 34th birthday, which she is reportedly planning to spend with her beau, as well as the release of her Eras Tour film on streaming.
Swift kicked off her celebrations Tuesday evening by going out to dinner with Selena Gomez, Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry instead of attending the Time gala, where she would have been honored as Person of the Year.
The group was photographed departing exclusive club Zero Bond in New York City, but Travis was not able to attend.

Instead, the athlete is planning to throw the “best party possible” in honor of the pop star’s big day and will host it in the Big Apple.
“Money is not an object, and he wants her close friends [there],” an insider previously told Us Weekly.
Travis and the “Anti-Hero” singer haven’t gone to great lengths to conceal their romance since making it public in September, instead choosing to lean into the public nature of it.
