Travis Kelce may be in the spotlight for his budding relationship with Taylor Swift, but when it comes to Swift’s “Eras Tour”, the Kelce family is stealing the show in their own hilarious way. While Travis couldn’t attend her latest concert due to his football commitments, he sent a few of his trusted representatives to take his place. And let’s just say, the evening in Miami came with a bit of unexpected comedy.
On October 18, Kylie and Jason Kelce made a return to the “Eras Tour”, having already caught one of Swift’s London shows in June. This time, the couple brought along their daughters and a new recruit—none other than the famous Kelce matriarch, Donna.
You might think the kids, five-year-old Wyatt and three-year-old Elliotte, would be the ones struggling to stay awake during the three-and-a-half-hour musical marathon. But no, the real nap culprit was none other than “New Heights” podcast host and former NFL star, Jason Kelce himself.
The hilarious moment was captured by Jason’s former Eagles teammate, Beau Allen, who snapped a photo of the football star looking suspiciously like he was resting his eyes in the stands. Allen couldn’t resist quoting a line from Swift’s song “Anti-Hero” on X.com, humorously writing, “Sometimes I feel like everyone is a sexy baby and I’m a monster on a hill.” While he didn’t get the lyrics “exactly” right (it’s “everybody,” not “everyone”), Swifties were quick to forgive Allen for his lyrical faux pas, focusing instead on roasting Jason for his mid-concert nap.
Fans on social media couldn’t resist poking fun at Jason for dozing off, with one Swiftie writing, “PLEASE JASON WE’RE LIKE 40 MINS IN.” Even Jason’s own “New Heights” podcast team couldn’t let it slide, cheekily commenting, “Caught in 4K.” It seems no one was letting him off the hook for this one.
But here’s the thing—falling asleep at a Taylor Swift concert might just be Jason’s superpower. This isn’t the first time he’s dozed off at an important event. Fans were quick to remember that back in 2015, on his very first date with Kylie, Jason fell asleep at a bar.
His buddy Beau Allen was there for that moment too and even had to carry the 300-pound NFL player out of the bar. Reflecting on the event during a “New Heights” episode, Allen joked that carrying Jason was “harder than climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.”
As one Twitter user joked, it seems like Jason was “reliving” his infamous first-date snooze at the “Eras Tour”, and another fan added, “So romantic. Good luck carrying him.”
But let’s give the guy some credit—being a dad, a podcast host, and a retired NFL player can be exhausting. And if Jason Kelce did catch a quick catnap, it might have been to recharge for his big moves later on. After all, he’s known to bust out a mean dance to Taylor’s “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” a favorite song he sings with his daughter Elliotte.
Whether Jason Kelce was napping or just “resting his eyes,” one thing’s for sure: the Kelce family continues to bring their own unique flair to the “Eras Tour”, proving once again that this football dynasty knows how to keep fans entertained—both on and off the field.
