In a rare and candid moment, Kylie Kelce—wife of former NFL star Jason Kelce—offered a glowing mention of Taylor Swift that immediately caught the attention of fans and media alike. While Kylie typically keeps her thoughts on her brother-in-law Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with the pop sensation under wraps, her recent comment on a podcast episode with Ed Sheeran shed light on just how warmly she regards Swift.
A surprise shoutout on Kylie’s podcast
The conversation unfolded during the latest episode of Kylie Kelce’s podcast Not Gonna Lie, where she welcomed global music icon Ed Sheeran as a guest. The two engaged in a fun and relaxed discussion about music, memorable performances, and celebrity moments that electrify crowds.
During the chat, Sheeran recalled his epic on-stage collaboration with rapper Eminem in Detroit, describing it as the loudest crowd he’s ever witnessed. “The cheat code is that,” Sheeran laughed, referring to Eminem’s unmatched crowd-pulling power.
Turning the tables, Sheeran asked Kylie who would be a “cheat code” for a Philadelphia audience. Without hesitation, Kylie replied, “Taylor.”
Why Taylor Swift is the “cheat code”
Kylie’s response wasn’t just a nod to Swift’s global superstardom—it also recognized the singer’s local roots. Born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, Taylor Swift has long been embraced by the Keystone State as one of its own.
“She’s home,” Kylie said, echoing Sheeran’s sentiment that Swift would be a show-stopper “anywhere.” Kylie agreed wholeheartedly: “True. Very true.”
The exchange revealed Kelce’s admiration for Swift—not just as a performer, but as someone whose presence carries universal appeal and undeniable charisma. It also subtly highlighted the strengthening bond between Swift and the Kelce family amid her growing relationship with Travis.
A glimpse into their private world
While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance has played out in public—from NFL suite appearances to paparazzi moments—Kylie Kelce has largely stayed out of the spotlight when it comes to addressing their relationship. Her “cheat code” remark, though lighthearted, speaks volumes about the acceptance and respect Swift enjoys within the Kelce circle.
It’s a rare public acknowledgment that reflects both admiration for Swift’s cultural impact and appreciation for the woman now closely tied to her family.
