Jason Kelce reveals his funny Taylor Swift and Travis Christmas gift strategy to Jimmy Kimmel

What do you get for the couple that has it all?

What do you get for the couple that has everything?

Such is the dilemma for Jason Kelce as the holiday season approaches and the former Philadelphia Eagles star makes his gift list. Kelce went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night, announcing his new ESPN late night show and sharing his present strategy for brother (and New Heights podcast co-host) Travis and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The 14-time Grammy winner has been dating Jason’s little brother for over a year, but the superstar duo is hard to shop for. So what is Kelce’s plan? Go homemade!

“You’ve got to go to handmade gifts,” Kelce said of his strategy. “Something sentimental, maybe, that is near-and-dear to them.” Although he’s not a pro at crafting, he was certainly taking inspiration from his daughters.

Watch that moment and the rest of his interview below:

Travis Kelce melts down from grossness over mayo eating contest on New Heights podcast

Travis Kelce is SO GROSSED OUT.

We have found Travis Kelce’s weakness.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end had a complete meltdown over watching a mayonnaise eating contest on the latest New Heights podcast. And while we’re happy to update this with the video of that moment later, the audio is just amazing.

Kelce and his brother Jason were talking about hot dog eating contests, and then Jason pulled up a video of mayo eating, and you can hear Travis completely lose it, gagging and screaming to get it off his screen.

It’s podcast gold. Here you go, starting around the 14-minute mark or so (with the usual WARNING: NSFW language ahead!):

Jason Kelce has a great music partner for a holiday song.

“Maybe This Christmas” is a wonderful tune and the great singer and former Philadelphia Eagle mesh perfectly.

Jason Kelce and Stevie Nicks’ new holiday song is just beautiful

What a beautiful duet.

We knew Jason Kelce could more than carry a tune as he’s proved over the years as part of The Philly Specials, which have released holiday songs for a few years now (along with his brother Travis, too).

And now, Jason gets to sing with the legendary Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac and solo career fame. They duet on Maybe This Christmas, and it’s really very sweet. And how cool is it that Kelce gets to sing with Nicks? Imagine if you played football all those years and suddenly here you are duetting with an absolute all-time great?

The Fever rookie is a “Swiftie through-and-through.”

A new episode of the New Heights podcast dropped Wednesday morning as Jason and Travis Kelce addressed the latest in NFL, pop culture and more. The brotherly duo covered Jason’s viral moment at Penn State from the weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs improving to 8-0 and Travis going to support his girlfriend Taylor Swift at one of her Indianapolis Eras Tour shows.

“I wanted to see Tay one more time before this thing got closed up,” Kelce said of his trip to Indiana. He also talked about getting to meet Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, calling the Rookie of the Year “awesome.”

“She was into the show for sure,” Kelce stated. “I think this was like her third or fourth show she had been to. She’s a Swiftie through-and-through, man.”

Travis Kelce gives love to Jason Kelce on New Heights after Penn State phone throwing incident

Jason Kelce regretted his actions, but Travis Kelce gave him some love in response.

Jason Kelce once again expressed regret for his actions and words after he was filmed responding to an anti-LGBTQ word said to him about his brother by throwing the person’s phone to the ground at Penn State.

He started off the latest New Heights podcast by talking about it and saying he regretted reacting.

“Now, it’s out there and it just perpetuates more hate,” he said.

But his brother, Travis, gave him love in response.

“The real situation is you had some [expletive] clown come up to you and talk about your family, and you reacted in a way that was defending your family, and you might’ve used some words that you regret using,” he said. “And that’s a situation you’ve just got to learn from and own. I think you owning it and you speaking about it shows how sincere you are to a lot of people in this world. … You don’t choose hate, that’s just not who you are. I love you brother, I think you said that perfectly.”

Jason Kelce’s phone slam incident at Penn State: Everything we know so far

This has led to an investigation.

Jason Kelce went viral on Saturday when multiple videos showed him walking into Penn State’s Beaver Stadium for an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay. He heard someone yell, “Hey Kelce! How does it feel your brother is a [expletive] for dating Taylor Swift?”

The expletive in question was an anti-LGBTQ slur, and Kelce stopped, grabbed the phone of the person who said it and slammed it to the ground.

Since then, some stuff has happened, and we want to catch you up on it. Here’s everything that you need to know as that moment has led to an investigation opening:

Here’s the video of the incident at Penn State

HUGE WARNING: THERE IS NSFW LANGUAGE WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SLUR.

Kelce apologized for the phone slam

Kelce used some of his time on Monday Night Countdown to address it:

Penn State police opened an investigation

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

According to Penn State crime logs, an “officer observed a visitor damaging personal property,” listing criminal mischief and disorderly conduct as potential offenses, at the intersection of Curtin Road and Commuter Drive just outside Beaver Stadium, where the incident was caught on video.

In Pennsylvania, criminal mischief for damages in excess of $500 is a third-degree misdemeanor, which could lead to a fine and up to 90 days in jail if convicted. Disorderly conduct is often classified as a summary offense; potential consequences include up to 90 days in jail or a $300 fine.

We’ll update this when we know more.

Jason Kelce: ‘I chose to greet hate with hate and I don’t think that’s a productive thing’

Jason Kelce addressed the weekend incident at State College on ‘Monday Night Countdown’

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce made news through social media over the weekend. Kelce reacted to a heckler who uttered a homophobic slur about his brother Travis, who dates Taylor Swift. Kelce reacted by smashing the person’s phone and getting in the face of that person and using the slur multiple times.

As a panelist on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown,” Kelce began the show with a mea culpa/apology.

“I’m not happy with anything that took place, Kelce said. “I’m not pround of it and in a heated moment I [anyclip-media thumbnail=”undefined” playlistId=”undefined” content=”dW5kZWZpbmVk”][/anyclip-media]hose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that’s a productive thing,”

Jason Kelce smashes a fans phone after comments about Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift

An agitated Jason Kelce smashes a Penn State fans cell phone after deplorable comment about his brother Travis Kelce

Jason Kelce is his brother’s keeper and the only person capable of bullying All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce. The retired former Eagles star was in State College for ESPN’s College GameDay and, after missing a field goal, found himself on the end of disrespect from a Nittany Lions student or phone.

While briskly walking around campus, Kelce became agitated when he heard a fan or student make a derogatory statement about his brother, Travis Kelce.

Angered, Kelce smashed the kid’s cell phone and kept it moving.

The cancel culture will undoubtedly come for Kelce, and there will be think pieces about controlling his temper and how Kelce’s salary means he can’t do things like he did on Saturday. Still, we live in a new day where cell phone footage and viral moments are all some people care about.
