“Still a rockstar 4 years later,” the Philadelphia Eagles player captioned the TikTok clip

Jason Kelce might be his daughter Wyatt’s biggest fan!

The Philadelphia Eagles player shared an adorable throwback video of the four-year-old being carried by her dad during her “first Pro Bowl appearance” on TikTok.

“Baby girl, you’re a rockstar. Look at this,” he tells Wyatt in the clip as a crowd of fans stands behind them. The NFL team could not help but agree, captioning the post, “Still a rockstar 4 years later #jasonkelce #probowl #nfl #girldad.”

 

Jason Kelce Says Wife Kylie Kelce Was Not ‘Happy’ He Went Shirtless: She Said ‘Don’t You Dare’

The Eagles center shares Wyatt, along with daughters Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, who will turn 1 in February, with his wife Kylie.

Last month, Kylie told PEOPLE that Wyatt can easily recognize her dad and her uncle Travis, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, during football games.

“It’s funny. She enjoys watching here and there. We like to look at the TV for times when Jason might have his helmet off or Uncle Trav might have his helmet off. Those are the moments where I can really suck them into a game because then they don’t look like every other person on the field,” said Kylie.

“When their helmets are off, they can say, ‘Oh, that’s definitely dad.’ Wyatt has recognized Jason’s number on his jersey. She calls it ‘sixty, number two,’ instead of 62,” she continued. “But same thing, she knows what she’s looking for.”

Although Jason has not decided what his future in the NFL will be, he became one of five Eagles football players who have earned seven or more trips to the Pro Bowl earlier this month.

“I’ve been really fortunate to play for an incredible offensive line coach for a long time now who puts me in a lot of really good situations and to play with a lot of other good offensive linemen that I think have allowed me to operate at a high level. I think that’s the beauty of the offensive line position,” Jason shared in a story on his team’s website. “My best years have been our unit’s best years, and it goes hand in hand.”

Jason’s mom, Donna, recently told PEOPLE that she sees her sons being involved with football ” in some capacity” even after they retire. As for Jason’s parenting skills, she said that he “strives to place his family as the highest priority in his life.”

“Jason is a loving and playful father. What surprises me most is his gentle, cuddling nature with the girls, while still bringing excitement and the thrill of roughhousing as much as he can, regardless of how he feels,” she told PEOPLE.

Swift has fυlly eмbraced the role of a football player’s girlfriend, attending Kelce’s gaмes in fυll Chiefs gear on мυltiple occasions. Her presence at the gaмes has created soмe controversy. Many fans are annoyed she takes υp so мυch screen tiмe dυring gaмe broadcasts.

“There’s a caмera, like, a half-мile away, and yoυ don’t know where it is, and yoυ have no idea when the caмera is pυtting yoυ in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’м being shown 17 tiмes or once,” she told Tiмe мagazine in Deceмber 2023.

“I’м jυst there to sυpport Travis. I have no awareness of if I’м being shown too мυch and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.”

And the υgliness — God hopes it can’t get any υglier. Bυt that’s all we hear. That’s all we hear! So, now, here’s Taylor Swift, who is a glowing bright light of goodness in the world, and she starts dating Kelsey Graммer.”

In Noveмber 2022, Lively’s hυsband, Ryan Reynolds, told Entertainмent Tonight his entire faмily is “obsessed” with Swift and her “Midnights” albυм.

Later that мonth, Swift thanked Lively when she won favorite pop albυм at the Aмerican Mυsic Awards after Lively directed her in the мυsic video for “I Bet Yoυ Think Aboυt Me,” calling her “мy beaυtifυl, brilliant friend” and “мy director.”

“It didn’t feel right withoυt yoυ gυys hearing froм υs first,” said Travis in a preview of this week’s episode

Travis and Jason Kelce are letting their voices be heard following the Kansas City Chiefs’ Sυper Bowl parade shooting that left Lisa Lopez-Galvan dead and 22 people injυred.

The NFL stars issυed a heartfelt мessage to their fans before Wednesday’s episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, which is pre-recorded and will featυre gυests Chris Long and Beaυ Allen.

 

“Attention 92%ers, we have a pre-recorded episode for yoυ gυys coмing υp on Wednesday, bυt after the tragic events of the Sυper Bowl parade in Kansas City, it didn’t feel right withoυt yoυ gυys hearing froм υs first,” said Travis, 34, at the start of the special podcast intro released online on Monday.

“We jυst wanted to say oυr hearts go oυt to all of the victiмs, their faмilies, Chiefs Kingdoм, and really all of Kansas City that was really there on a day to try and celebrate the coммυnity,” added Jason, 36.

“It’s υnfortυnate, and deeply tragic the events that occυrred. So we want to thank the local law enforceмent that sprang into action, the first responders on scene, and anybody that’s been willing to help those affected by this tragedy,” he continυed.

Travis reмinded their fans that an eмergency response fυnd has been set υp to help sυpport the victiмs and their faмilies, as well as violence prevention, мental health services, and first responders.

Jason praised the Kansas City coммυnity for “coмing together and rallying aroυnd the people that have been affected” by the tragedy.

“One of the beaυtifυl things that we have in doing this podcast is the wonderfυl coммυnity oυt there — the 92%ers — everybody that watches this show,” he continυed.

“We’re still figυring oυt a way for υs to be involved. Obvioυsly, yoυ can donate to these links right now, bυt we plan on doing soмething in the fυtυre. We’re trying to get that sitυated right now. [We] have soмe ideas, bυt jυst мake sυre yoυ’re following, and we’ll be telling yoυ gυys ways that we’re trying to get involved,” said Jason.

Travis ended the video by telling their fans that they’ll hear froм theм soon.

Their мessage coмes a few days after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his charity, Eighty-Seven &aмp; Rυnning, donated $100,000 to a GoFυndMe benefiting Madison “Madi” Rose Reyes, 10, and Melia Reese Reyes, 8, who were injυred at the parade.

The sisters, who were both shot in the legs, also received a visit froм Chiefs qυarterback Patrick Mahoмes and his wife Brittany.

“In a tiмe where they are traυмatized, saddened, and worried, having a sυrprise appearance froм Patrick and Brittany Mahoмes broυght the first sмile to their faces since tragedy strυck. Even thoυgh they will be wearing casts for several мonths they are excited to show loved ones that Patrick signed their cast,” their faмily told PEOPLE in an exclυsive stateмent.

Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift, has also shown her sυpport by donating $100,000 to a GoFυndMe benefiting the faмily of Lopez-Galvan, the shooting’s sole fatality.

Indeed, Swift has risen to become the second richest self-made woman in music — with her net worth at a cool $740 million. She has surpassed Madonna’s net worth of $580 million, but ranks behind Rihanna, whose net worth is $1.4 billion.

And while she’s not busy on a very sold-out tour, she stays active when it comes to real estate.

Since 2011, Swift has stockpiled a real estate portfolio worth upward of $80 million.

Most recently, the singer’s former townhouse in Manhattan’s West Village — where she rented in 2016 while waiting out the renovations of her combination penthouse unit in Tribeca — listed for sale asking $17.99 million. What’s more, it’s the home that inspired her “Cornelia Street” tune.

Her first NYC real estate purchase was made in 2014, buying two adjacent penthouses in a Tribeca building for $19.95 million.

In 2018, she bought the second-floor complex to the building for nearly $10 million. The unit, which she bought from financier Jeremy Phillips in an off-market deal, spans 3,540 square feet.

In 2017, she purchased a 100-year-old, four-story townhouse next door for $18 million. The three-story townhouse on Franklin Street comes with a gym, a spa, antique French wide-plank oak floors and a planted terrace with a Japanese paper glass wall.

Travis Kelce Was Asked if He’s in Love With Taylor Swift and His Answer Was Surprising

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been pretty public about the fact that they’re dating, but there are some things the NFL star wants to keep just for himself. On Friday, Kelce was interviewed during a press conference ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ overseas game in Germany when he was asked about their “status.”

“The latest status is I got to see her last week,” he said. “That’s the latest status right there.”

An even bolder reporter wanted to know if he’s “in love” with the Eras Tour singer, to which Kelce replied, “I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal.”

The Chiefs are scheduled to play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, November 5, and he was also asked if Swift would be in attendance. He played coy again.

“When I mention—or everyone knows—she’s at the game, the Vegas [line] and over-under on my catches goes up and down,” Kelce joked. “The spread goes up and down. So I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff…I’m just going to keep that to myself.”

On October 22, Swift watched Kelce’s team win against the Los Angeles Chargers, and CBS broadcasters showed a graphic comparing game play when she was in the bleachers versus when he’s “left to his own devices.” They stated that Kelce has gained 99 yards per game over 46.5 whenever she’s not there to cheer him on.

Even his brother, Jason Kelce, has mentioned it during their New Heights podcast together, saying, “Taylor was in attendance and it’s turning out it was good she was in attendance because they put your stats up—when she’s at the game, when she is not at the game. I don’t know if you’re aware of this.”

Kelce responded, “How could I not be aware of this? ‘Left to his own devices.’ Well put.”

Taylor Swift may be half a world away from boyfriend Travis Kelce, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t finding ways to keep him close.

 

 

After finishing up her “Eras Tour” stop in Melbourne, Australia, the “Shake It Off” singer was photographed wearing a Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl 58 Champions baseball cap and her custom made “TNT” bracelet, in a not-so-subtle nod to her two-time NFL champ boyfriend, Kelce.

As People reports, the pop star’s Wove Made Inc. diamond bracelet references hers and and Kelce’s initials. Swift was first spotting wearing the bracelet while attending the AFC Championship game on Jan. 28.

While it has been reported that Kelce has plans to join Swift overseas as she continues her history-making tour, he was recently spotted in Kansas City with a friend, the Daily Mail first reported.

While there are thousands of miles between Kelce and Swift at the moment, that doesn’t mean the pair are not continuing to solidify their place as the ultimate power couple.

On Sunday, Feb. 18, both Swift and Kelce won People’s Choice Awards—Swift for female artist of the year, pop artist of the year, concert tour of the year, and social celebrity of the year, while Kelce took home the award for athlete of the year.

Both Kelce and Swift also donated to victims and families of the tragic Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl Parade shooting that left one woman dead and more than 20 people injured.

Swift donated $100,000 to the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two and beloved Kansas City radio disc jokey who was killed in the shooting that occurred just outside the city’s historic Union Station on Wednesday, Feb. 14.

Kelce also donated $100,000 to two sisters, ages 8 and 10, who were both shot in the leg while celebrating the Chiefs’ win with their family. Over half of the more than 20 people who were injured at the shooting were children.

Ahead of the Chief’s Super Bowl 58 win, Kelce said that he’s “very aware” of the impact his high-profile relationship with the most powerful pop star on the planet has on the NFL.

“Mostly because Taylor’s in my life now,” he added. “What me and Taylor have is special.”

Taylor Swift flees Australia via private jet after last Eras concert

Taylor Swift has jetted out of Australia after her father Scott was accused of assaulting a local photographer on Tuesday morning.

The American singer’s private jet was seen leaving Sydney Airport just hours after the alleged incident.

The global megastar, 34, performed her final Eras Tour concert in the city on Monday night.

The Bombardier Global 6000, which both Taylor and her boyfriend Travis Kelce used to fly to Australia, was seen taxiing down the runway at around midday.

Taylor’s team and her father are all thought to be onboard.

Taylor travelled Down Under for seven sell-out concerts across Melbourne and Sydney, which came to an end on Monday night, and she has a few days off before she will return to the stage in Singapore on March 2.

Her departure comes just hours after her father Scott Swift, 71, was accused of striking Ben McDonald, 51, at a ferry wharf in the suburb of Neutral Bay at about 2.30am on Tuesday, after the Australian leg of her Eras tour wrapped up.

Taylor’s team said the photographer ‘threatened to throw a female staff member into the water’.

Her departure comes just hours after her father Scott (centre right), 71, was accused of striking Ben McDonald, 51, at a ferry wharf in the suburb of Neutral Bay at about 2.30am on Tuesday

Taylor and Scott had travelled from Homebush on a luxury superyacht called Quantum before the alleged assault.

Footage from the moments before the alleged altercation showed Scott walking up wharf while giving photographers the middle finger.

A spokeswoman for Taylor Swift told Daily Mail Australia the photographers were being ‘aggressive’.

‘Two individuals were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water,’ she said.

However, Mr McDonald – the chief executive of Matrix Media Group – slammed the statement as ‘utter rubbish’ and said the only female at the scene was Taylor.

‘This is the sort of bulls**t I might expect,’ he said. ‘Which female was that? The only one there was Taylor.’

Mr McDonald said the altercation was caught on camera and did not show the photographers acting aggressively.

An investigation into the alleged incident has been launched by the North Shore Police Command.

The photographer previously accused Scott of ‘charging’ at him once he was off the superyacht with Taylor.

He originally thought it was a security guard and was shocked when he realised the alleged attacker was the pop star’s dad.

Mr McDonald also said he didn’t know what triggered the alleged assault.

‘In 23 years of taking pictures, I have never seen anything like it,’ he said.

‘She got off the boat, she walked towards security guards who were shoving umbrellas in our faces.’

Footage of the alleged incident showed Taylor and her father walking up from the wharf with large umbrellas blocking the view.

Mr McDonald started shooting when a security guard could be heard telling him not to touch the umbrella.

The camera jolted and there was movement from behind the umbrella.

A security guard could be heard saying, ‘that wasn’t me, that wasn’t me’.

Mr McDonald asked: ‘Who was that?’

He then went to The Rocks police station and reported the alleged incident.

Mr McDonald did not require medical attention and does not believe he will have lasting injuries, but has ‘very sore chops’ on the left side of his face.

 

Travis Kelce celebrates in Las Vegas after Taylor Swift concert

Travis Kelce, the star tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, has voiced his support for his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, despite being thousands of miles away. This comes in the aftermath of an incident where Swift’s father reportedly confronted and punched an invasive paparazzo who was attempting to capture sensitive photos of his daughter following a show in Australia.

The altercation occurred as Swift and her father were leaving a venue in Australia, only to be confronted by the paparazzo aggressively attempting to capture intimate photos of the singer. Swift’s father, understandably protective of his daughter’s privacy and well-being, reacted swiftly to defend her from the invasive and disrespectful behavior.

While Kelce was not physically present during the incident, sources close to the couple revealed that he was deeply concerned and upset by the news. Kelce reached out to Swift immediately, offering his unwavering support and comfort during what must have been a distressing moment for the singer and her family.

“Travis was shocked and angered by the paparazzo’s actions,” a close source to Kelce shared. “Even though he was on the other side of the world, he made sure Taylor knew he stood by her and her family’s right to privacy and safety.”

Scott has been a fixture by his daughter’s side throughout her sold-out Eras tour Down Under and has been praised by fans for his kind actions during the concerts (pictured together)

Scott has been a fixture by his daughter’s side throughout her sold-out Eras tour.

He has been praised for handing out sandwiches to fans in the middle of a Sydney show, saying ‘help yourselves’.

The day before Taylor’s first show in Melbourne earlier this month, extra tickets were released but most had a limited view of the stage.

Kylie Kelce, wife of NFL star Jason Kelce, recently took to social media to share the extravagant birthday gifts that her daughter Bennie received from none other than pop sensation Taylor Swift.

The heartfelt gesture from Swift left the Kelce family and fans in awe, showcasing the close bond between the Kelces and the renowned singer.

In a series of Instagram stories, Kylie Kelce provided a glimpse into the lavish presents bestowed upon Bennie by Taylor Swift in celebration of her birthday. Among the standout gifts was a custom-made dollhouse, meticulously crafted to resemble the Kelce family’s stunning home. Complete with miniature furniture, accessories, and even tiny replicas of the Kelce family members, the dollhouse was a work of art that left Bennie delighted and amazed.

But the surprises didn’t end there. Taylor Swift went above and beyond to ensure that Bennie’s birthday was truly unforgettable. In addition to the dollhouse, Bennie received a collection of designer dresses, shoes, and accessories, handpicked by Swift herself. The luxurious outfits, adorned with intricate details and elegant embellishments, reflected Swift’s impeccable taste and style.

The generous gesture from Taylor Swift left Kylie Kelce feeling immensely grateful and touched by the singer’s kindness. Taking to Instagram, Kylie expressed her heartfelt appreciation for Swift’s thoughtfulness and generosity. “I am beyond grateful for Taylor’s incredibly generous gifts for Bennie’s birthday,” Kylie wrote. “Her attention to detail and the love she put into these presents truly made Bennie’s day extra special.”

The Kelce family’s close relationship with Taylor Swift has been well-documented over the years, with the singer often expressing her admiration and affection for the family. From attending each other’s events to exchanging heartfelt gifts, the bond between the Kelces and Swift continues to strengthen, much to the delight of fans.

As Bennie celebrates her birthday with cherished memories and luxurious gifts from Taylor Swift, the Kelce family remains grateful for the friendship and support they share with the beloved singer. With Taylor Swift’s thoughtful gestures adding an extra layer of joy to Bennie’s special day, it’s clear that the bond between the Kelces and Swift is as strong as ever.

 

The superstar singer rejected a late push for her to wow the crowds in Las Vegas earlier this month as boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs dramatically beat the San Francisco 49ers. Taylor just wanted to enjoy the game after making a mad dash from Japan, where she was on her Eras Tour, to Sin City.

But NFL chiefs are making early arrangements ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans – and the money men are already licking their lips. Two NFL business insiders, interviewed by The U.S. Sun, believe having the Cruel Summer star perform at the Caesars Superdome could make it the most watched of all time.

According to one of the individuals, an external business consultant for the NFL, key figures within the organization are desperate to get Taylor to perform and have began making efforts to do so. He underlined that Taylor’s sheer presence at Allegiant Stadium resulted in record viewership, with 123 million tuning in.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell understands Taylor’s capacity to attract non-football fans and a younger population, with the potential boost in advertising revenue especially appealing. “The ads could reach a cost of $8.5 million each, an increase of $1 million, or more,” said the source.

“This year, it has been estimated that her presence helped generate a lot of money, estimated between $700-750 million. If she is the main artist of next year’s halftime show, it’s expected to generate more than $1.3-1.5 billion.”

Another insider speculates that if Taylor performs and the Chiefs win for the third year in a row, “it will be the biggest sports event ever broadcasted in America” and that watching figures could reach a record-breaking 140 million.

Hardcore NFL fans may squirm whenever the camera swings to the Anti-Hero phenomenon, but her impact on the league’s popularity cannot be underestimated. “Taylor’s relationship with Travis is probably the best gift ever made to the NFL,” a person who works as an NFL business consultant said, smiling.

“It’s a huge win-win for the league, and for them.”

 

TRAVIS Kelce isn’t the only person in his family gearing up to capitalize on a surge of popularity.

The U.S. Sun revealed the Kansas City Chiefs star’s moves, both on and off the field with girlfriend Taylor Swift, have seen him bring him a host of potential new sponsors.

However it’s not just Travis feeling the Swift effect, it’s taking mom Donna along for the ride too, and the 71-year-old can expect to be busy in the coming months.

A source close to the Kelce family has informed The U.S. Sun that several sponsors are queuing up to collaborate with Mama Kelce.

Donna, a former banking executive, has already been working with the likes of Pillsbury, KIND snacks, and Barefoot wine.

Insiders claim that Donna has been approached by investors to launch her nationwide Mama Kelce cookie brand, with a substantial $5 million budget in the offing.

There’s optimism that the business could become a smash hit — and this journey might be available for viewing in your living room.

One TV company is planning a reality show about Mrs. Kelce’s life as a mother to two NFL superstars.

 

Another channel is championing the idea of a “cookie travel show,” which would see Donna travel up and down the country in search of the finest treats around.

Donna appears to be very comfortable in the limelight, with the insider claiming she’s “naturally a target for big brands because she represents family values, by being a loving and caring mother.”

 

“She’s always smiling, thinking of others, and has two sons who are NFL stars with excellent reputations,” the source told The U.S. Sun.

“It’s a perfect combo.”

Several other deals are reportedly in the works, including $1 million a year from Hershey and an extended Ziploc contract — she signed a $300,000 agreement for the recent Super Bowl — which would rake in $2 million over two years.

Skechers is also interested in having her take up an ambassadorial role, worth $3.6 million over three years.

“It’s only the beginning for her, and it’s no surprise at all that so many brands are wanting to work with her,” the insider concluded.

“She is a role model.”
