Taylor Swifttook a big step in her budding relationship withTravis Kelceover the weekend — and it made the NFL star nervous.
“Papa Kelce in the spotlight,” Jason, 35, said as he and his brother kicked off a segment dedicated to their dad’s interaction with Travis’ new love interest. “If you were watching the game, you saw something momentous happen, which was Taylor Swift talking to Ed Kelce.”
“You know Dad like I know Dad,” Travis, 34, said, adding, “This is a terrifying conversation. I felt terrible for Taylor for being in this.”
The brothers joked about how a conversation with their father ignites fear in them both. “If you see Dad talking to anybody and you can’t hear what’s happening, who knows where that conversation’s going,” Jason said.
