Jason Kelce gets emotional discussing first Taylor Swift concert: ‘I was literally tearing up’

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce nearly broke the internet this week, when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end joined the singer on stage, in costume no less, for a cameo during her Eras Tour show in London. Not only did the London show mark No. 87 trading in a cleats and a football for dance shoes and props, but it also marked his brother Jason Kelce finally attending a Swift concert.

The two spoke about their time at the concert, with Jason admitting that much to the surprise of himself, it ended up being an emotional experience.

Travis kicked off the concert recap, noting how incredible he finds it to watch Swift play in front of such a massive crowd.

“[We] watched Tay absolutely shred it … it was so cool,” the Chiefs tight end said. “Playing in front of 90,000 at Wembley Stadium. I remember 2015 playing in front of 80,000 in Wembley Stadium and then seeing Tay up there going crazy. They get a lot louder for Taylor than they do for American football.”

Jason echoed his younger brother’s thoughts, adding, “It was amazing.”

“It was insanely impressive. Obviously Taylor’s an amazing singer, songwriter, but then to be able to go out there and be perfect at that level for [that many hours].”

Clearly Travis is well versed in the details of the show, as he chimed in that it is a 45 song set, which he called, “Insane.”

Despite playing in a combined 352 games and the difficultly it takes to have longevity in the NFL, the brothers admitted they would not have the stamina to put on the show Swift does.

“If I did what she did for one song I would have to change my clothes … man I’m tired…
