People can't stop asking Jason Kelce about his brother's rumored romance with Taylor Swift and he's
- People won't stop asking Jason Kelce if his brother, Travis, is dating Taylor Swift.
- He has now been asked twice in one week, and he's started trolling fans with fake answers.
- Don't believe anything Jason Kelce says on the topic because you might be disappointed (I was).
It all started with a friendship bracelet.
Now, the internet is on fire with rumors about whether Taylor Swift has made Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce her new beau, and people can't stop asking his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, if it's true.
Let's back up for a second.
After Travis Kelce went to Swift's The Eras Tour in July, he told his older brother, Jason Kelce, on an episode of the New Heights podcast that he was "butt hurt" he wasn't able to give Swift a friendship bracelet he made "with my number on it."
Jason Kelce then asked which number he put on the bracelet — the number on his Kansas City Chiefs jersey (87) or his phone number.
"You know which one," Travis Kelce responded.
Light rumors of the budding romance have since swirled as Travis Kelce has made it clear he admires the mega-star, and The Messenger published a report earlier this month citing an unnamed source that the pair was "quietly hanging out."
Desperate for a confirmation, Jason Kelce was asked about the rumors on live TV during a post-game press conference alongside Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts following their Thursday home opener.
"I've seen these rumors. I cannot comment," Jason Kelce told retired NFL star Tony Gonzales, who said he had to ask on behalf of his teenage daughter. "I don't really know what's going on there. I know Trav is having fun, and we'll see what happens with whoever he ends up with."

When the clip was posted to Instagram, Travis Kelce responded, "Well played Rich…. Well played."
Later, during the Chiefs game, Eisen said, "Kelce finds a blank space for the score!" after the tight end caught a touchdown, according to People.

"It's hard to answer because I don't really know a lot of what's happening with Travis' love life. I try to keep his business his business and stay out of that world, but having said that, man, I think they're doing great, and I think it's all 100% true," Jason Kelce said, prompting one of the hosts to respond excitedly.
But when WIP published the clip on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, setting the internet ablaze once again, they neglected to acknowledge the last — and most important — line of Jason Kelce's answer.
"No, I'm joking," Jason Kelce said, clearly poking fun at the whole thing.
