Jason Kelce recently opened up about the personal growth of his younger brother, Travis Kelce, crediting Taylor Swift for playing a major role in his transformation.
During an appearance on the Fitz & Whit podcast on Tuesday,
the former Philadelphia Eagles star shared his perspective on how the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has evolved in recent years.
Jason Kelce Calls Travis’ Growth “Staggering”
While speaking with co-host Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jason was asked about how much Travis has matured over the last three years.
Without hesitation, Jason described his brother’s progress as “staggering.”
Fitzpatrick recalled visiting Travis’ home three years ago and noticing that his living space only included a basketball hoop and a pool table—an environment that reflected his carefree, bachelor lifestyle. Jason, 37, agreed, explaining that his brother had always maintained a childlike spirit.
“One of the things I love so much about Travis is that he never grew up, like he was like Peter Pan and the Lost Boys,” Jason said.
Taylor Swift’s Influence on Travis’ Evolution
When asked if Travis is finally growing up, Jason immediately confirmed, “For sure.” He went on to discuss how certain people in life can inspire personal growth, hinting at the influence Swift has had on his brother.
“It’s changing, and I think that sometimes, you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you, and that’s a good thing,” Jason said, implying that someone—likely Swift—has encouraged Travis to evolve.
Though Jason did not mention Swift by name, the pop icon has been dating Travis for nearly two years. Their relationship has been highly publicized, with Swift frequently supporting him at NFL games and Travis making lifestyle changes to accommodate their romance.
Despite his growth, Jason reassured listeners that Travis still retains his youthful charm.
“Trav, he is growing up. He’s still, though, got that youthful enthusiasm,” Jason said. “I think he’ll kinda always have that, it’s just part of his personality, and I think it’s one of the reasons every teammate has loved playing with him and anybody that’s ever met Trav, you can’t help but just love the guy.”
Travis Kelce’s Lifestyle Changes Reflect His Growth
Jason further described his brother as “a free spirit in the best possible way,” acknowledging that while Travis has matured, he has not lost the personality traits that make him so beloved.
Travis, 35, has made several noticeable lifestyle adjustments since he and Swift began dating. In October 2023, he purchased a $6 million mansion in Kansas City, a significant upgrade from his previous residence. Reports suggested that the decision was made to provide greater privacy for both himself and Swift as their relationship continued to flourish under intense public scrutiny.
A Relationship That Continues to Thrive
Travis and Swift’s relationship has captivated fans since they went public in late 2022. The couple has been seen supporting each other in their respective careers—Swift frequently attending Chiefs games, and Travis traveling to her Eras Tour concerts.
Most recently, Swift was seen celebrating with Travis after the Chiefs’ victory at Super Bowl LVIII, where she joined him on the field for a post-game embrace and kiss.
Although Jason did not directly state that Swift was responsible for Travis’ evolution, it’s clear that she has been a meaningful presence in his life. His growing maturity, lifestyle changes, and newfound privacy suggest that he is embracing a new chapter—one that may have been influenced by his high-profile romance.
With Jason acknowledging his brother’s transformation and Travis continuing to thrive both personally and professionally, fans can only watch as this power couple’s journey unfolds.
