“The Swifties have this unrealistic infatuation with the Chiefs and Travis Kelce, and they’re only voting based on their love for you, not on their love for the team name,” Jason quipped to brotherTravis Kelce. “So it wasn’t a realistic representation.”
In return, the Chiefs tight end accused his brother of tilting votes in favor of the Buffalo Bills, and claimed he “completely screwed the Chiefs out of winning.”

Jason later changed his tune, however, and asked Swift’s fans for their help when the brothers noted in their podcast that they were nominated for podcast of the year, best sports podcast and best overall ensemble at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards.
“Swifites we’re talking to you right now, lets rig this vote,” Jason jokingly pleaded with fans. “This is not for me, this is for Travis. Please go and vote for theNew Heightsshow as the podcast of the year.”
Travis chimed in, “92 percenters you know what to do.”

Despite all his jokes, Jason has only hadpositive things to sayabout the “Anti-Hero” singer and her relationship with his brother.
“I’ve been fortunate to meet Taylor now,” Jason said in an NFL interview at the 2024 Pro Bowl. “She’s [an] awesome, genuine, down-to-earth person, which has been great to see, whenever you’re seeing anyone of that caliber of stardom.”
He added that even though his family is receiving more media attention now, the only thing he’s concerned about is Travis' happiness.
“My brother and his love life is definitely the topic of the NFL right now, and my whole thing with that is as long as Trav is happy and enjoying life, I’m happy and enjoying life,” Jason continued.
