Jason Kelce calls out Taylor Swift’s dad for wearing Chiefs sweater despite being Eagles fan: ‘Wrong team’
Taylor Swift‘s dad is transforming into a Kansas City Chiefs fan after years of loyalty to the Philadelphia Eagles — and it isn’t sitting well with Jason Kelce.
Scott Swift accompanied his 34-year-old daughter to Travis Kelce‘s game at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, December 17, cheering as the Chiefs defeated the New England Patriots 27-17. Taylor wore a red and white Chiefs beanie and a gray sweatshirt and her dad rocked a vintage Chiefs sweater as they watched the game from their stadium suite.
“Nice sweater [he had] on there,” Jason, 36, quipped during the Wednesday, December 20, episode of “New Heights,” the podcast he cohosts with Travis, 34. “Good sweater. No, it looks good on him. … I think his complexion suits green more if I don’t say so myself.”
Travis was proud to see Scott in “full Chiefs gear,” adding, “I don’t know, it’s kinda looking real nice on him. It’s a swaggy vintage joint. He’s rocking it, man. And seems to be enjoying himself.”

Taylor has been rooting for the Chiefs throughout the NFL season after she began dating Travis, making her first appearance at Arrowhead Stadium in September. Before sparking a romance with the tight end, Taylor and her family were longtime Eagles fans. Taylor was raised in Pennsylvania before chasing her country music dreams in Nashville — and she even references an “Eagles T-shirt” on the Evermore song “Gold Rush.”
“I saw some people wondering if it was the band the Eagles or the team the Eagles, and I love the band the Eagles, but guys, come on,” she said on stage while performing at the Eagles’ home stadium on her Eras Tour this summer. “I’m from Philly. Of course it’s the team.
Like his daughter, Scott has publicly supported Travis’ team in recent months. When she kicked off her international Eras Tour shows in Argentina in November, Travis traveled to cheer her on and joined Scott in the venue’s VIP tent. Fans even spotted Scott wearing a Chiefs lanyard while watching Taylor perform.
Look what Travis Kelce made Scott Swift do.
After Taylor Swift’s dad, a longtime Philadelphia Eagles fan, supported the Kansas City Chiefs with a vintage sweater on Sunday, Jason Kelce called out the 71-year-old.
“I think his complexion really suits green more if I do say so myself,” the Eagles center, 36, joked on Wednesday’s episode of the brothers’ “New Heights” podcast.
Although Jason believed Scott was supporting “the wrong team” at Gillette Stadium over the weekend, he acknowledged that the outwear “look[ed] good on him.”
“There might have been a few Brads and Chads that were booing,” he told listeners. “But for the most part, everyone was f–king screaming their tail off for her.
“You don’t see an entire home team fan base go insane for someone wearing the opposite colors,” the “Catching Kelce” alum continued. “Just shows you how amazing that girl is. They went absolutely insane when they showed Taylor on the screen.”
At the time, the athlete was “trying to keep it cool” and not “show [his] cards” by reacting the same way.
Ed, meanwhile, told People at the time that the pop star was “very sweet, very charming [and] down-to-earth.”
Although his ex-wife, Donna Kelce, downplayed her meeting with Taylor and called it “OK” on the “Today” show that same month, she walked that statement back in Travis’ WSJ. magazine profile in November.
“He’s happier than I’ve seen him in a long time,” Donna gushed. “God bless him, he shot for the stars!”
