Jason Kelce’s BFF Lane Johnson reveals the Eagles center’s first impression of Taylor Swift
Philadelphia Eagles star Lane Johnson said teammate and friend Jason Kelce couldn’t be happier for brother Travis Kelce amid his romance with Taylor Swift.
Johnson — who was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award — told Page Six at the NFL Honors Thursday that Swift got Jason’s approval after meeting her last month at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills.
I guess from what he said [she] is very nice,” the offensive tackle, 33, told us. “A very nice woman and obviously makes Trav happy and I think that’s all he really cares about.”
Jason shared similar sentiments during the Pro Bowl last week, joking that his “brother and his love life is definitely the topic of the NFL right now.”
My whole thing with that is as long as Trav is happy and enjoying life, I’m happy and enjoying life,” Jason said.
“I’ve been fortunate to meet Taylor now. She’s [an] awesome, down-to-earth, genuine person, which has been great to see, whenever you’re seeing anyone of that caliber of stardom still remain as grounded as they are.”
Jason, who is the father of three young daughters, also noted earlier in the weekend that Swift is the perfect “role model for all the young girls out there.”
The legendary center’s first time meeting the “Cruel Summer” singer is hard to forget.
Just hours after meeting Swift in a suite at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, Jason now-famously ripped off his shirt to celebrate a Chiefs touchdown with the opposing team’s fans.
Swift, 34, looked shocked as she watched her potential brother-in-law ditch his top, stand on the window sill and yell at the crowd.
Although Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, was not a fan of his antics, Swift was apparently all for it. Video from the game shows the singer egging Jason on as he walks through the suite shirtless.
Travis later confirmed on the brothers’ “New Heights” podcast that the 14-time Grammy winner “said she absolutely loved” Jason.
