Kylie Kelce, wife of retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and sister-in-law to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has been increasingly open about her thoughts on Taylor Swift, Travis's girlfriend, revealing herself to be a "Swiftie".
Kylie's admiration for the pop superstar extends beyond Swift's celebrity status. During an episode of her "Not Gonna Lie" podcast, featuring guest Kate Hudson, Kylie praised Swift's incredible work ethic. She acknowledged the dedication and attention to detail that Swift puts into her craft, recognizing that her success is hard-earned. "As you know, with Taylor, like this doesn't just come," Kylie said. "It comes with real attention to detail and care and real hard work". Kylie stated, "Yes, the drive is incredible. To be able to witness it all is very cool".
Kylie has also dismissed rumors of any tension between her and Taylor. After reports speculated about a rift between the two, Kylie defended Swift, stating that she is very forthcoming with how much she loves and appreciates Taylor. She also expressed her happiness for her brother-in-law, Travis, emphasizing that his happiness is what she cares about most. Kylie also clarified that she would only ever refuse a meal if it had beets in it.
Adding to the praise, Kylie playfully admitted that Taylor Swift is her "cheat code" to getting applause in Philadelphia. During a recent podcast episode with Ed Sheeran, the pair discussed the "cheat code" for eliciting the loudest cheers from a crowd. Sheeran recounted bringing Eminem on stage in Detroit, to which Kylie responded that Taylor would be that "cheat code" for a Philadelphia audience, noting that Pennsylvania is "home" for the "Love Story" singer. Sheeran agreed, saying, "I kind of think Taylor anywhere, though,” and Kylie responded, “True. Very true".
Kylie and Jason Kelce learned about Travis and Taylor's relationship before it became public. They met Swift during a Chiefs game in January 2024. Kylie noted that she and Jason "knew before everyone else knew" about the relationship. She told in an interview that the news "did not hit the group chat".
Swift has been embraced by the Kelce family. She attended a Mother's Day brunch with the family at Talula's Garden in Philadelphia. Kylie revealed on her podcast that the brunch marked their first official outing as a party of six. Jason Kelce called Swift's first meeting with their youngest daughter, Finnley, "special".
Kylie and Taylor share a sweet friendship. Swift has even cooked for Kylie, satisfying her pregnancy cravings with homemade pancakes. Kylie revealed that Taylor's pancakes were "so good". "Baby liked them, I loved them. They were very, very good," Kylie said.
Kylie Kelce's positive comments and admiration for Taylor Swift highlight the strong bond between the two women and further solidify Swift's place within the Kelce family.
