Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has revealed girlfriend Taylor Swift was quite taken by his brother Jason Kelce. The Philadelphia Eagles legend made some impression, taking off his shirt, downing beers and jumping into the stands, during their first meeting.
Jason's antics in the executive suite after Travis' first touchdown during the Chiefs' crucial playoff win over the Bills went viral. After ending an eight-game wait for a TD, the two-time Super Bowl winner helped his team gain a 10-3 lead in the second quarter.
In the heat of the moment, Jason took off his shirt and let out a passionate roar before jumping from the VIP box to join the fans below. Rumoured to be considering retirement, the Eagles centre then seemed to enjoy a beer with spectators before returning to the suite.
"I said 'I'm taking my shirt off and I'm jumping out of that suite'. And she said 'Jason, don't you dare', he recalled to the amusement of his sibling. He continued: "'I don't care, I'm doing it'. She was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we’re meeting Taylor.

"She was like 'be on your best behavior' but I was like 'when I met you I was blackout drunk, this is part of the Jason Kelce charm'. I want to make my best first impression, this is my best chance," he said as his brother laughed once more, before Travis jokingly interjected saying: "That first impression is like the worst impression ever."
Travis then revealed what his pop superstar girlfriend really thought of Jason, saying: "Tay' said she 'absolutely loved you'. I felt like it was a scene out of 'Old School', where Will Ferrell's running."
As for the story behind his own celebration, Travis gave a surprising answer. He denied that he was gesturing towards his girlfriend. Many people had assumed that his 'love-heart' pose was a show of affection for Swift.

He unveiled during a podcast recording: "I had to spread that love, baby. Always gotta spread that love, baby.
"There was a lot of hate pulling up to that stadium. Understandably, it was the Bills, coming into their game, always gonna be a bit rowdy. Did it get disrespectful? 1,000%. They gave it a little extra. I'm not gonna say it cos that's what they want, I'm not gonna relay it.
"Some inappropriate things were said about the family, some pretty inappropriate things were said about Patrick Mahomes. It was whack. I get it, coming into a hostile environment, I just had to make sure they knew it wasn't mutual. I don't hate you guys like they hate us."
