Jason Kelce has something to say about the media storm surrounding his brother Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
The Eagles star, 35, made another appearance on Audacy’s SportsRadio 94 WIP Wednesday, three days after the superstar singer watched the Kansas City Chiefs tight end play at Arrowhead Stadium and went to Travis’ after-party.
Jason was asked about Swift and Travis’ big night out, and said he’s enjoying seeing the reaction.
“It ended up she went to the game this week. So it was fun watching the whole world take it in.”
Jason was also asked about the “stir” his joke made a week earlier, when he said on the same radio show that his brother and Swift were “100%” dating.

“My reaction was exactly, this is exactly what I think is gonna happen. She’s gonna go to the game, and the whole world’s gonna lose their goddamn mind,” Jason said of his joke taking off. “That’s exactly what I thought was gonna happen… 7:30 in the morning, I’m happy that WIP [the radio show] got the [publicity] for it, but I was just trying to be sarcastic.”
Jason had been asked about the rumors surrounding Travis and Swift ahead of the game.
“It’s hard to answer because I don’t really know a lot about Travis’ love life,” Jason told the radio hosts last week. “I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world.” But, he added, “having said that, man, I think they’re doing great and I think it’s all 100% true, and I hope this thing goes a mile — no, I’m joking, I don’t know what’s happening.”

The brothers got together this week, two days after the game, to talk about Swift’s appearance on a new episode of their weekly podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. Travis said, “I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.”
“Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy,” Travis, 33, said as he talked to Jason about how he felt about the singer sitting in his suite during the “exciting game.”
On Swift watching the game with his mom, Donna Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star said, “To see the slow motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with mom, to see how, you know, Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there — that s— was absolutely hysterical and it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.”
While the “Karma” singer’s attendance at Sunday’s game drew lots of attention to their rumored relationship, a source told PEOPLE the pair are still in the “super, super early days” of getting to know one another.
“They’re having fun,” added the insider, noting that Swift and Kelce had met prior to her attendance at the game. “This was Taylor’s first time meeting his mom and dad, and everyone was enjoying themselves. She was super chill and low-key hanging out with his friends and family.”
As for where things go next? “They’re just hanging out, and there’s no pressure,” said the source.
