Watch: Eagles Alum Jason Kelce Reveals If He'll Support Travis Kelce During 2025 Super Bowl

For Jason Kelce, family comes first. 

After Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills in the Jan. 26 AFC game, the Philadelphia Eagles alum shared why he ultimately decided to fly to Missouri to see his brother play, rather than support his old team taking on the Washington Commanders. 

“I wasn’t able to watch the game because I was going to yours,” Jason admitted during the Jan. 29 episode of New Heights. “That was the biggest thing I was struggling with all week: ‘Do I go to Travis’ game, [or] do I stay in Philly?’”

The 37-year-old—who spent 13 years as a center for the Eagles—shared that he really wanted to experience his team’s win from a fans’ perspective, noting that wife Kylie Kelce, a devout Eagles fan herself, goated him with a delightful proposition. 

“Kylie even brought up like, ‘If you stay in Philly and they win, you can go to Broad Street,” Jason explained, referring to the packed Eagles celebration that takes place in downtown Philly, “which is something I always wanted to experience.”

As he put it, “the videos you see and everyone out on Broad Street. How much the fans and city goes crazy—it’s just electric.”

But Jason had something more important on his weekend itinerary, telling Travis, “Ultimately I wanted to be out there for you.”

Of course, Jason and Kylie—who share daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, Bennett, 23 months, and a fourth baby girl on the way—insisted on some Eagles updates amid their travels. 

“I asked the pilots like, ‘Hey, give us score updates,’” Jason added. “Radio it out of the tower. And it was electric.”

Jason even shared that he was sure of an Eagles win by the top of the third quarter—proving his NFL analyst chops by dissecting the successful plays by his old team and lauding the Commanders for their season comeback. 

And while he didn’t get to see the action play out in person, Jason noted that he did get to see his teammates before kickoff, adding, “These dudes were so focused and ready to do something.”

The Eagles alum isn’t the only one in Travis’ circle who ultimately chose the Chiefs over their longtime fandom. After all, Taylor Swift—who has been dating Travis for over a year—has quite literally left her Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door in support of her guy on the Chiefs. 

While performing in Philadelphia on the Eras Tour in 2023, Taylor—who has also been photographed in Eagles merchandise—confirmed her allegiance to the team, adding, “Guys, come on. I’m from Philly.”

However, at the AFC game, rest assured Taylor was donning some burning red. Jury’s still out on the Super Bowl, but keep reading for a look into Taylor's game day style.
