Jason Kelce won’t be taking advantage of the chance to get free Taylor Swift concert tickets any time soon – though not because the pop icon hasn’t offered.
During a recent appearance on ‘The Rich Eisen Show,’ Kelce revealed that Swift – who’s actively dating his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce – has offered him unlimited tickets to her “Eras Tour.” But time and again, the former Philadelphia Eagles center has politely declined the kind offer.
“Thankfully I don’t get a lot of people reaching out for Taylor Swift tickets. As much as Taylor has said she will take care of anybody that I asked for,” Kelce said, to which Eisen replied: “Are you serious?”

As for why he doesn’t accept the gifted tickets, Kelce expressed a desire to not create a weird dynamic between him and Swift. “She does say that, she’s very, she’s great, but I still say no to everybody,” he said. “I’m not gonna be the one to impose on that, I’m not. I don’t want to put that position out there.
“She’s been nothing but lovely to our family. She’s a wonderful person and I don’t want that to kind of be a dynamic.”
The response resonated with Eisen, who conceded that Swift’s open invitation could cause issues down the road. “So she’s given you the clear path to the tickets and you’re just shutting it down,” he said. “Makes sense, because after a while, you know once, twice …”

Kelce expressed a similar sentiment, chiming in: “Where’s the line? So I’m not even broaching the line. I’m staying away from the line.”
This isn’t to say, however, that Kelce isn’t a fan of Swift’s work. Over the summer, the ex-NFL star admitted that he grew emotional while watching the songstress perform at Wembley Stadium.
Back in June, Kelce and his wife, Kylie attended their first ‘Eras Tour’ concert in London. Discussing the experience on the “New Heights Podcast,” he commended Swift for her incredible performance.
“It was insanely impressive,” he began. “Obviously Taylor’s an amazing singer-songwriter, but then to be able to go out there and be a performer at that level for how long she was up there for, like, three and a half hours, four hours?”
“If I did what she did for one song, I would have to change my clothes,” Jason continued. “Man, I’m tired of drinking these beers and Taylor’s still singing.”
Then in October, Kelce was in attendance for the final leg of Swift’s Eras tour in Miami, Florida, where he appeared to be caught taking a quick nap as the 34-year-old brought the house down at Hard Rock Stadium. Taking to social media, Beau Allen – Kelce’s former Eagles teammate – shared a photo of him seated with his eyes closed as those around him danced to Swift’s music.
