Ever since Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift began dating, something strange seems to be happening on the football field. The Kansas City Chiefs appear to be riding a wave of good fortune. Field goals against them mysteriously miss, rival touchdowns get ruled out due to a slight misstep, and even Travis finds himself in strange situations where he can’t seem to hit the uprights after a heated exchange with the league’s top kicker. Sports fans, already prone to superstition, have embraced the idea of Tayvoodoo.
What is Tayvoodoo?
Tayvoodoo is the term being used by NFL fans to describe the uncanny streak of good luck that the Kansas City Chiefs have seemingly been experiencing since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship went public. Fans have joked that an “unknown force” is on the team’s side, whether it’s a missed field goal or a touchdown being disallowed by the smallest of margins. The idea that something supernatural, perhaps even stemming from Swift’s influence, has caused this good fortune has gained traction among those who believe in the power of sports superstitions.
Jason Kelce Jokes About Tayvoodoo
The most recent person to join the Tayvoodoo conversation is none other than Jason Kelce, Travis’ brother. On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, the Kelce brothers discussed the Chiefs’ latest win, which featured an incredible stroke of good luck. During the game, the opposing team’s center hiked the ball too early, causing their quarterback to fumble, which the Chiefs were quick to recover. This event led some fans to dub the luck “Tayvoodoo.”
Jason’s Playful Teasing of Travis
Jason, never one to shy away from teasing his little brother, continued to joke about the good fortune. When the brothers discussed kids’ sports movies, Jason compared the Chiefs to the team in Angels in the Outfield, hinting that the team’s success was due to some “unknown force.” With a knowing smile and a nod, Jason clearly implied that something—perhaps Tayvoodoo—was giving them the edge.
Travis Responds to His Brother’s Jokes
Travis, of course, picked up on his brother’s subtle teasing and laughed it off. “Here you go with this fking Tayvoodoo st again. This dude is such a d***head,” Travis responded, clearly tired of the ongoing Tayvoodoo joke.
It’s clear that Jason’s playful banter is something Travis has heard one too many times, and the back-and-forth between the brothers adds a bit of humor to the situation.
The Impact of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Romance
Recently retired from the NFL after a successful career with the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason has transitioned into broadcasting and podcasting. His show with Travis, New Heights, has become one of the most popular sports podcasts in the U.S., and it was recently picked up by Amazon. However, the latest episode of the podcast stirred up some controversy, as Jason made a joke about Taylor Swift’s beloved cats.
Jason Kelce Risks Swiftie Wrath with a Joke
During the latest episode of New Heights, the Kelce brothers welcomed legendary actor Bill Murray as a guest. Murray shared a funny story about a former acting teacher, describing her as “one of those ladies that has like cats and everything she wears is purple.” Jason, always ready for a laugh, seized the opportunity to make a cheeky joke, referencing Swift’s famous love for her cats. He followed up Murray’s story by saying, “I’m not sure if those kinds of people still exist,” implying that such cat-loving, purple-wearing figures might be rare today.
Jason’s comment immediately drew attention, and fans—especially Swifties—were quick to react. With this joke, Jason was clearly teasing not only his brother but also Taylor Swift's loyal fanbase, who are known for their passionate support of the pop star.
