Jason Kelce is taking it in stride and moving forward. Just two days after a video of Jason smashing a college student’s phone went viral, the former Philadelphia Eagles player was seen sharing a sweet and heartfelt moment with none other than Taylor Swift. The incident involving the phone arose after the student made an offensive comment directed at his brother, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift. Now, Jason seems to be turning the page.
During Monday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jason paid a visit to the Missouri-based team’s suite, where the pop superstar was cheering on Travis. Swifties quickly captured the moment, and a video of Jason, 37, hugging Taylor, 34, made the rounds on social media.
Fans were clearly moved by the sight of the pair’s embrace, with one enthusiastic Swiftie posting on X, “Jason Kelce and Taylor Swift[‘s] hug healed my mental problems.” The interactions didn’t end there—Jason was also spotted giving Taylor’s mom, Andrea Swift, a warm hug as she remained seated in the suite. In a lighter moment, he leaned down to listen as Andrea spoke to him, prompting one fan to humorously comment, “She’s telling him good job smashing that guy’s phone the other day.”
Jason found himself making headlines on Saturday after he responded to a heckler at Pennsylvania State University. The heckler called his brother, Travis, a derogatory term, presumably in reference to his relationship with Taylor Swift. Jason, visibly angered, grabbed the student’s phone and smashed it to the ground before repeatedly asking, “Who’s the f—t now?”

On Monday, Jason addressed the incident, expressing remorse for how he handled the situation. During ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” broadcast, the analyst admitted he wasn’t proud of the way he reacted. “I’m not happy with anything that took place,” he said. “I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing. I really don’t. I don’t think that it leads to discourse and is the right way to go about things. In that moment, I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have.”
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have not publicly commented on the altercation. Instead, the high-profile couple had a busy weekend, with Travis making a surprise appearance at Taylor’s Eras Tour show in Indianapolis on Saturday. According to a source the “So High School” singer was “shocked” and thrilled by his unexpected visit.
The insider added that Taylor’s mom, Andrea, and brother, Austin Swift, were equally delighted by Travis’s presence at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Swift’s Eras Tour has been a huge success since it kicked off in March 2023. Back then, Taylor had yet to meet Travis, though he famously went viral just a few months later when he tried—and failed—to pass his number to her at one of her shows in Missouri.
Fast forward to today, and the pair have grown inseparable. Since they began dating, Travis has made it a point to attend Taylor’s concerts across the globe, from Buenos Aires to Paris, even taking the stage during her London performance in June.
Taylor, for her part, has also been an ever-present support for Travis during his NFL games. On Monday night, she attended the Chiefs’ victory decked out in a varsity jacket and cowboy boots, cheering on her partner as Kansas City triumphed over the Buccaneers.
The couple’s consistent presence at each other’s events speaks volumes about their bond, and fans have loved seeing the mutual support in action.
The incident involving Jason may have been a moment of tension, but his willingness to apologize and his affectionate interactions with Taylor and her family seem to be helping to mend any damage done.
The embrace between Jason and Taylor, as well as the warmth shown towards Andrea, highlight the close connection that the Kelce brothers have forged with the Swift family—a relationship that continues to capture the hearts of fans everywhere.
