Swifties are loving it. Just a few days back, Travis Kelce‘s debut web series Grotesquerie launched. The TE’s brother and former NFL star, Jason Kelce, made his ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown debut before the week 1 game between the Jets & 49ers. Everyone was amused at the shirt he was wearing. It was too tight. While the fellow commentators were laughing and making fun of the center, he used some language he shouldn’t have. His exact words were, “It fits my belly now. I’ve lost a little bit of weight but my t— are still struggling.”
Now, he is facing some backlash. Kayla Nicole, his brother’s ex-girlfriend, got miffed with the loose language. She took to X, previously Twitter, and wrote, “Since when can you say ‘t—’ on ESPN?” While some wondered why Jason Kelce was allowed to use the censored word, a few others claimed that the change has happened since Pat McAfee became College Game Day analyst.
However, her response has been a little late. All the Kelce family have laughed enough over it already. Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie Kelce, wished him luck on his broadcasting debut along with advice and wrote, “Training camp looked a little different this year. Watching you at the Linc on Monday is going to be a little different too. Just know that the girls and I are loving cheering you on in this new chapter!… Maybe try not to say t— this week?”

The younger brother and his billionaire girlfriend also loved his attitude of being himself. Travis talked about it on his New Heights podcast and mentioned that he and Taylor Swift laughed over the situation. The season would be hilarious.

In June early this year, Taylor Swift was performing in Dublin. Another concert of Eras Tour! During the show, the pop star praised the legendary singer while performing ‘Ciara Bow’ in her honor. Someone else was there too. Chiefs TE attended the concert and met Nicks. A few months later, Nicks became a part of Jason’s album. It’s not a mere coincidence.
For now, the center and a few of his teammates are working on their album titled A Philly Special Christmas Party. Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson will also be singing. Jason Kelce’s album will also feature Charlie Hall (the War on Drugs) and Boyz II Men.
