Things quickly turned, however: After the clip of Jason closing his eyes during the concert started trending on social media, the former Eagles center rapidly became an unsuspecting troll for Swift's devoted fanbase, who refer to themselves as the Swifties. But Jason wasn't going to let the joke slide without a little fact-checking of his own.
On the latest New Heights podcast episode, NFL star
Travis Kelce reminded Jason about his viral nap. Jason was soon to backpedal in defense.
Jason Kelce’s Defense: "I Wasn’t Even Sleeping!"
Jason explained his side of the story, clarifying that he wasn’t actually sleeping during Swift’s performance, but rather enjoying the music with his eyes closed. He elaborated on the situation:
“So Kylie is holding Elliotte, right? Elliotte was just with me. We were dancing, and I was sitting down… we go out there, and I realize I'm in the middle of the open. It isn't like a box, like closed," he explained (13:58).Jason continued,
"I'm just sitting here, and I'm feeling it. And I'm tapping my thigh. And I'm in the moment listening to the song. And then all of a sudden, I go on Twitter, and I see this f*** picture. And I'm like, dude, what the f**?"For Jason, it was all about soaking in the music, and he pointed out one key detail to support his claim: "My hand is hovering.
You can't sleep with your hand hovering above your knee."

Travis Kelce Not Having All That Much Fun
While brother Travis was getting some rest to prepare for what could prove to be the Chiefs' Week 7 must-win against the San Francisco 49ers in a game that Kansas City emerged victorious 28-18, Jason was very much in the thick of things at the festival.
On the podcast, Travis shared how awful it felt missing the concert and a little bit of FOMO. “I had all the FOMO in the world, with the entire family and a lot of our friends being there. They were saying the same thing that you're saying. The Miami Stadium was just on another level. Incredible. I wish I was there," Travis shared (16:36).
This conversation took place just a week after Travis’ ex-teammate, Louis Rees-Zammit, revealed that he had received a handwritten note from Taylor Swift. Now, with Week 7 behind them, the Chiefs are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in an exciting showdown at Allegiant Stadium. Will the Raiders manage to end the Chiefs' winning streak? Only time will tell.
