Travis Kelce says Jason ‘tricked’ him into talking about Taylor Swift on their New Heights podcast

It seems Jason Kelce just can’t resist stirring the pot—especially when it comes to his brother Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift. In the latest episode of their hit podcast New Heights, Jason subtly roped his younger brother into referencing Swift’s iconic lucky number, 13, much to the delight of fans.The moment happened early in the episode, when the Kelce brothers introduced their guests, NFL veterans Andrew Whitworth and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Jason, 37, playfully mentioned that the two hold the record for “most teams played [on] in any [NFL] career.” Travis, 35, seemed skeptical and tossed out a guess: “Might be 13.” But after a brief pause, he corrected himself with, “Might be 15.” That’s when Jason seized the opportunity to cheekily emphasize, “If it [was] 13, that’s a lucky number.” Travis couldn’t help but laugh and respond, “[Jason] tricked me into saying 13.”Swifties, ever alert for even the smallest Easter eggs, wasted no time picking up on the sly moment. Social media lit up with fans praising Jason for getting his brother to drop a “Swift crumb” so casually. The number 13 has long been associated with Taylor Swift, who has referred to it as her lucky charm throughout her career. And when it comes to Travis, even the smallest nod to Swift is enough to send the internet into a frenzy.But that wasn't the only Taylor-related highlight in the episode. Travis opened up about his recent trip to London, where he made a surprise onstage appearance during Swift’s Eras Tour show in June 2024. Describing the experience as “unforgettable,” he added that he traveled “for love” and would “never forget” the moment he stood beside the Grammy-winning superstar in front of a roaring crowd.The brothers also filmed this week’s podcast from New York City—right in the heart of where Swift owns a $50 million compound in Tribeca. Though Travis had been spotted solo in Manhattan several times throughout the month, both he and Taylor were notably absent from the Met Gala, sparking speculation about their whereabouts. However, the mystery was soon cleared when they were seen in Philadelphia enjoying a cozy Mother’s Day brunch with the Kelce family.Jason later confirmed to Extra that the brunch had been “special” and revealed that Swift has already met his and wife Kylie Kelce’s newborn daughter, Finnley. The gathering marks yet another milestone in the evolving Swift-Kelce relationship, which continues to grow both privately and in the public eye.Beyond the headlines and subtle references, both Kelce brothers are also working on personal transformations. The pair recently showed off slimmer physiques at the Amazon MGM Studios Upfront event, revealing that each has dropped 25 pounds. For Travis, this renewed focus on fitness comes just in time for his 13th NFL season—further proving that when it comes to his life and career, the number 13 might really be charmed after all.From cheeky brotherly tricks to jet-setting romance, this episode of New Heights was packed with fun, surprises, and yet another reason why fans can't get enough of the Kelce-Swift saga.Also Read: NFL Thanksgiving 2025 schedule: Chiefs vs Cowboys and more must-watch matchups set for the holiday
