Jason Kelce, the star lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles and older brother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is voicing his support for Taylor Swift.
During the Pro Bowl on Friday night, Kelce expressed his belief that Swift should be featured on television during NFL games each weekend. In an interview with Cincinnati’s WCPO-TV, Kelce emphasized the significant attention Swift receives, indicating that if people didn’t want to see her, she wouldn’t be showcased.
“The attention is there because the audience wants to see it. I mean, if people didn’t want to see it, they wouldn’t be showing it, I know that,” Kelce stated.
Recognizing Swift as a global superstar and a role model for young women worldwide, Kelce suggested that the NFL would be wise to showcase her and serve as a positive influence for young girls.
He noted, “She’s a world star. She’s the quintessential artist right now in the world — singer-songwriter, immensely talented, unbelievable role model for young women across the globe. So I think that the NFL would probably be foolish not to show her and be a role model for all the young girls out there.”

Kelce’s perspective aligns with the common practice of featuring celebrities during sporting events, and given Swift’s current status as the biggest star in the world, her presence is expected.
It has been confirmed that Taylor Swift will be in a suite at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas next weekend, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E.T. on CBS.
