Jason Kelce had nothing but praise for Taylor Swift as he called her a “role model” and defended the NFL’s decision to feature her on their broadcasts.
The Philadelphia Eagles center spoke with WCPO 9 while preparing for the Pro Bowl Games and discussed Swift’s impact on the NFL since breaking up with his brother Travis. In a clip later shared on X, Kelce raved about Swift’s success and its positive effect on younger women.
βI think the NFL would probably be foolish not to showcase her and be a role model for all the young girls out there,β Kelce said.
“She’s a global star, she’s the ultimate artist in the world right now,” Kelce added, describing the 12-time Grammy winner as an “immensely talented” artist and an “incredible role model for young women around the world . .’
Since dating Travis, Swift has attended 12 Chiefs games and is expected to attend the Super Bowl before she turns 13. Swift reportedly plans to fly from a concert in Tokyo the night before to support the Chiefs in Las Vegas.

Much of Swift’s fanbase flocked to the Chiefs as they began tuning in and attending live games, hoping to catch a glimpse of their idol.
Swift then became a staple of the games in Kansas City, as the broadcasts relied on her in-game reactions during the Chiefs’ run to the Super Bowl.
‘The attention is there because the public wants to see it. I mean, if people didn’t want to see it, they wouldn’t show it, I know that,” Kelce said.
Kelce’s most recent comments weren’t the first time he celebrated Swift’s relationship with Travis and its impact on the Chiefs.
He previously called the pop star the Chiefs’ “newest member” on an episode of the New Heights podcast. Kelce then said that Swift “officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year.”
The Chiefs will try to win their second straight title against the San Francisco 49ers on February 11.
