Jason Kelce may not be a featured artist on Taylor Swift‘s next album, but his enthusiasm for a potential collaboration in the future isn’t off the table.
Jason recently expressed his admiration for his brother Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, saying he would happily collaborate with Swift on a song if she asked, although he believes she doesn’t need his help. “I will do whatever Tay wants,” the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, said in an interview with Sports Illustrated on Monday, September 16, which was shared to TikTok. “But I think she’s doing just fine on her own,” he stated.
Jason, alongside his brother Travis, 34, has been involved in creating holiday music for the Philadelphia Eagles the past two years, raising money for local charities. Their 2023 track “Fairytale of Philadelphia” topped the iTunes charts last year, a feat Jason attributes to the 14-time Grammy winner’s dedicated fanbase.

“The Kelce duet reached No. 1 on iTunes,” he noted proudly, adding that he received overwhelming support from Swifties who rallied to boost the song’s popularity. “It’s a powerful group,” he emphasized.
Although Jason hinted at the possibility of Swift contributing to future Eagles albums, he clarified that it wouldn’t happen this time around. He described the prospect of collaborating with her as “pretty incredible.”
Travis, who has been dating Swift since July 2023, has also acknowledged her influence, stating that he appreciates the support she brings, not just for him but for the team as well. The Kelce brothers spoke at the Cannes Lions festival on June 20 about how the tight-end’s relationship with Swift has brought a fresh audience to their podcast. “We do have a lot of new football fans coming in,” noted Travis. He explained that they aim to simplify discussions to ensure everyone can enjoy the show.
Jason expressed his excitement over the growing female audience for their podcast. He pointed out how it encourages more girls to engage with football, a sport that may not have previously interested them. “It’s great to see girls getting involved in a sport where previously there wasn’t much interest,” he said, highlighting the opportunity for different worlds to “collide.”
