Taylor Swift might be used to having masses of fans following her wherever she goes. However, for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, it was an adjustment. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has had to figure out his newfound fame due to his romance with the global superstar. Now, Kelce’s older brother, NFL player Jason Kelce, is opening up about what it’s been like for his sibling over the past few months.
Jason says his brother’s life has turned upside down since he began dating Swift. During an appearance on The Big Podcast with Shaq, the Philadelphia Eagles center admitted that there have been some “drawbacks” to his family’s newfound fame, especially for Travis, who was forced to move from his home due to the amount of fan interaction.
Jason Kelce Opens up About Taylor Swift’s Fame Impacting Travis Kelce
“Travis knows way more than I do, he had to completely move out of his house,” he said. “People were just staying by his house. And the first day he moved into the new house … [in] a gated community, somebody knocks on the back window of the house,” the athlete added.
Jason Kelce went on to reveal that Travis Kelce’s increased popularity is without a doubt linked to Taylor Swift. “We’ve always been big in the football world, Travis especially. The Taylor world and the pop culture world, that’s a whole different level. It’s a new demographic that wasn’t there before,” he continued.
Swift and Kelce went public with their relationship in September 2023. Just one month later, the Kansas City fan-favorite moved from his Briarcliff West neighborhood. He now lives in a $6 million mansion behind the confines of a gated community, per Page Six. It seems that security was a big issue for the couple as both fans of both he and Swift looked to get dangerously close to the couple.
