Jason Kelce Sleeping at Taylor Swift Show Is Peak Dad Behavior
Jason Kelce was a No. 1 dad for taking his eldest daughters to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert — and acted like it.
Jason, 36, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, attended the Friday, October 18, show in Miami with daughters Wyatt, 4, and Ellie, 3. (They also share daughter Bennett, who was born in February 2023.) The crew sat in a private box with Jason’s mom, Donna, and his former Philadelphia Eagles teammate Beau Allen. Swift, of course, is dating Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce.
Allen, 32, documented the group’s experience at the Eras concert via social media, including posting a photo of Jason seemingly sleeping mid-performance.
“Sometimes I feel like everyone is a sexy baby and I’m a monster on a hill,” Allen captioned a Friday Instagram Story post, quoting Swift’s song “Anti-Hero.”
In the photo, Jason was the only one in the squad’s row seated. He stoically sat with his eyes closed. It’s not known whether Jason was actually asleep, as our dads used to do the same to Us under the explanation, “I’m just resting my eyes.”
Jason didn’t sleep the entire show, however, as additional fan-captured footage showcased him completely rocking out to “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” which happens to be Ellie’s favorite Swift song. Allen, meanwhile, also uploaded a pic of Jason guzzling a beer in the private suite.
While Friday’s concert was notably Donna, Wyatt and Ellie’s first time catching the Eras Tour, Jason and Kylie, 32, are old pros. They previously hit up two of the concerts in London with Travis, 35, in June.
“It was insanely impressive,” Jason gushed during a June episode of the brothers’ “New Heights” podcast. “There’s something, like, obviously Taylor’s an amazing singer-songwriter but then to be able to go out there and be a performer at that level … Dude, if I did what she did for one song, I would have to change my clothes!”
He added, “It was an awesome experience, obviously the Swifties make it very memorable. Everyone’s so into it, they’re singing all the songs. There’s two concerts [I’ve seen] that have been like that — that one and the first time I saw Bruce Springsteen live. But it was equal kind of level of these insane fandoms that love these artists so much that they know all the songs.”
Jason also revealed at that time that he couldn’t help but tear up when a lucky fan was gifted Swift’s fedora during “22.”
“Dude, I’ve never cried at a f—ing concert and I was literally tearing up watching those little girls,” the retired Eagles center quipped. “Right from the go, it’s banger after banger … but the acoustic set [is special]. It’s just her, a guitar and 90,000 people … then she’s blending from one song to another.”
