Jason Kelce, a player for the Philadelphia Eagles, recently made a young fan's dream come true at a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. The football player gave an excited Taylor Swift fan the opportunity of a lifetime by helping her greet his brother Travis Kelce's pop-star girlfriend, who was at the game.

A fan video released by Barstool Sports on TikTok revealed that the 36-year-old Jason, who took off his shirt to celebrate Travis' touchdown with fans, noticed a sign held by one of two young girls in the crowd at Highmark Stadium in New York. Recognising the sign was for 34-year-old Taylor Swift, he lifted the girl so she could greet the "Cruel Summer" singer who was in the VIP box above. He then encouraged her to turn around for a photo.

The caption of the video stated, “Jason Kelce just gave that fan a lifetime memory meeting Taylor Swift,”. Many fans lauded the NFL player's gesture in the comments. One wrote, “Jason Kelce is a dad first. Football player second. Made that little lady’s day,”. Another user echoed these sentiments, commenting, “That’s a girl dad, through and through,”.

Jason is a father to three daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett, with wife Kylie Kelce. He's consistently maintained that being a "girl dad" has been a rewarding experience for him. He, in May 2023, expressed to People magazine, “I love all my girls,” before noting how he originally intended to treat a potential daughter exactly as he would have a son. He admitted, though, that his plans were certain to change after his daughter’s birth.

Jason and Kylie Kelce's daughters were absent at the Sunday game, leaving them to watch Travis Kelce, 34, play against the Bills. Also in the VIP box were the pair’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, as well as Taylor Swift, there to support her boyfriend. Jason had his first opportunity to watch his brother play that season because the Eagles had been knocked out of the NFL playoffs after a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on January 15.

In relation to the rumors going around about his retirement, the player disclosed on a "New Heights" podcast with Travis that he hadn’t made an official announcement about his future plans, despite what the media has reported. Jason promised to reveal his plans in a way that would be ‘definitive and respectful’ when the appropriate time comes.
