Jason Kelce Opens Up on Impact of Swift and Kelce’s Fame on His Family
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce recently shared his perspective on the overwhelming fame that Taylor Swift and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, have achieved. In an interview with E! News, Kelce expressed that while he is proud of his brother’s success, the constant attention they receive has taken a toll on his family. He described the media scrutiny and paparazzi presence as “crazy” and admitted that it has been a challenge for them to navigate. “When you’re in the public eye, it’s hard to keep your personal life private. Everything you do is under a microscope,” Kelce said. “It can be overwhelming, and it’s not always easy to deal with.” The Eagles center acknowledged that his family has had to make adjustments to protect their privacy. They have learned to be more cautious about what they post on social media and have taken steps to limit the amount of time they spend in public. “We’ve had to make some sacrifices,” Kelce said. “But it’s important to us to maintain a sense of normalcy for our kids.” Despite the challenges, Kelce emphasized that he and his brother remain close. He said that they support each other through the ups and downs of fame and that they are eternally grateful for the opportunities they have been given. “We’re lucky to have the careers that we do,” Kelce said. “But it’s important to remember that fame is fleeting. What really matters is family.”
