Jason Kelce Sends Fans into Frenzy with His On-Air Reaction to Taylor Swift’s Arrival at Chiefs Game

Taylor Swift’s appearance at Arrowhead Stadium to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, created a stir among fans—and Jason Kelce’s reaction only added to the excitement. When ESPN cameras captured Swift’s motorcade arriving at the stadium, Jason Kelce, who was on the broadcast team as an ESPN analyst, responded with an enthusiastic “Heyyy!” that got fans buzzing.

Swift, who had just wrapped the American leg of her highly successful Eras Tour the night before, made the trip from Indianapolis to Kansas City to support Travis, marking the fourth time she’s attended one of his games this season. The Grammy winner’s presence has seemingly brought good fortune to the Chiefs, with the team maintaining a strong record with her cheering them on.

During the broadcast, fellow ESPN host Scott Van Pelt playfully responded to Jason’s excitement with a reference to Jay-Z’s line, “Got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain,” drawing a connection to Swift’s high-profile relationship with Travis.

Jason Kelce’s reaction to Taylor’s arrival wasn’t the only headline he made that day. Earlier, he had sparked controversy when news broke about an incident at Penn State University. Jason, who had been on campus for ESPN’s College GameDay, reportedly had a confrontation with a fan who insulted Travis with a derogatory slur, referencing his relationship with Swift. In response, Jason allegedly grabbed the fan’s phone, threw it to the ground, and responded with an expletive of his own.

Penn State Police and Public Safety agencies are now investigating the incident, which was classified as “criminal mischief and disorderly conduct” in the campus crime log. According to TMZ, the probe is still ongoing. This development surfaced just minutes before Jason’s Monday Night Football broadcast, adding another layer of intrigue to his appearance.

Kelce started the broadcast with a public apology, though some fans expressed frustration, feeling that he was unfairly put in a position where he needed to apologize. Despite the controversy, Jason’s loyalty to his family and his enthusiastic support of Travis’s relationship with Swift has resonated with fans. Over the summer, he even traveled to London’s Wembley Stadium to see one of Swift’s concerts, further showcasing his support.
