Jason Kelce made a not-so-subtle dig at his younger brother, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs star’s romance with Taylor Swift at the end of this week’s episode of his ‘New Heights’ podcast.
During part of his interview with new Philadelphia Eagle Saquon Barkley, the running back talked about wanting to be the next Apollo Creed, one of the main characters in the ‘Rocky’ film franchise.
Jason Kelce then told Barkley to “throw it in the trash” because “things happen when he’s out in New Heights.”
The clue referenced was Travis gushing about Swift in an episode over the summer after attending ‘The Eras Tour’ in Kansas City. Young Kelce wanted to meet Swift at the show, even going so far as to make her a friendship bracelet, common among Swift fans, with her number written on it.
Although the meeting did not originally occur at one of Swift’s concerts, Swift later said that their thanks in ‘New Heights’ caught his attention and sparked their romance.
Kelce commented on his brother’s relationship at the end of this week’s ‘New Heights’ episode.
Swift and Kelce have been publicly dating since September, when she attended a Chiefs game.
‘Acting is hard, but I think about it like this: why can’t I be the big guy who fights? It can not be that hard. You know what I mean?’ Barkley said. “Just fight a little, get punched in the face, lose, and then you’ll make money off of it.” ‘I’m not trying to be Leo (DiCaprio).’
‘So, you’re trying to be the next Creed?’ Travis said.
‘Why not? Let’s make a story. “I’m going to Philadelphia,” Barkley responded.
“Seriously, just throw it away,” Jason Kelce added. ‘Things happen when he goes out in New Heights. Speak into existence.’
“Just go to the Philadelphia museum and start running steps and punching the air,” Travis chimed in.
“Dude, Philly would go crazy,” Jason concluded.
Since then, Kelce and Swift have been attending concerts and games for several months.
Travis’ reference to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the most famous scenes in the ‘Rocky’ franchise.
Rocky Balboa, played by Sylvester Stallone, trains for his title fight against Creed by running through the streets of Philadelphia before climbing the multiple flights of stairs in front of the museum, now called the “Rocky Steps.”
In terms of Travis’ manifestation, his relationship with Swift has attracted massive attention and skyrocketed his celebrity profile.
Kelce has been seen at his concerts in Argentina, Australia and Singapore, while Swift attended 13 Chiefs games last season, including all four of Kansas City’s playoff wins.
Swift traveled from a stop in Tokyo on ‘The Eras Tour’ to arrive in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl in less than 24 hours.
