Travis Kelce makes Taylor Swift joke to his brother after hitting NFL milestone
NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce have joked that the popularity of their significant others, Taylor Swift and Kylie, has led to top UK jersey sales
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce humorously attributed the popularity of the two best-selling NFL jerseys in the UK, belonging to him and his brother, Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, to his relationship with Taylor Swift.

During a new episode of the brothers' "New Heights" podcast, the Kelce brothers reacted to learning their jerseys are the top-selling in the NFL. While Travis believes the sales were attributed to the power of Swfit, Jason said the rise was due to the newfound popularity of his wife, Kylie Kelce.
"It's the only reasonable solution to all of this," said Travis after admitting that the Swifties are behind his success. Jason responded, "I'm only No. 2 because I think a lot of people in the UK maybe just don't watch football, and they're like, 'Oh, I heard this Kelce guy dates Taylor Swift, and they just buy my jersey on accident."
Travis responded by saying: "No, no, no, "They're all Kylie Kelce fans. Either way, I'll take it. Shout out to Kylie and shout out to Taylor. Thank you guys."

Swift has been a regular at Chiefs games this season, cheering on her boyfriend. Her appearances have been a hit, with the NFL TV networks covering the games constantly showing her during the broadcast.
Most recently, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and NFL commentator Tony Romo referred to Swift as "Kelce's wife" after the tight end made an 18-yard catch down the sideline for a first down against the Buffalo Bills in a 20-17 loss. The game was the second in a row where the Chiefs lost with the songstress in attendance.
With Swift's involvement, NFL games have seen a significant increase in viewership, especially among teen girls. Sales of Travis Kelce's jersey also shot up last October. His podcast even rose to No. 1 on the Apple sports charts thanks to the Swift effect.
Throughout the season, Kelce and Swift have shown their dedication to each other. Swift has even flown on a private jet to watch Kelce's games with his mom, Donna. In return, Kelce used his week off to fly to Argentina for one of Swift's concerts.
Kylie Kelce, Travis's sister-in-law, became popular after using TikTok to deny rumors that she avoided interactions with Swift. Donna Kelce also noted that Kylie usually prefers to sit in the stands either behind the team or with the other mothers and wives of the Chiefs players. "It's not particularly my cup of tea to be in the spotlight or in front of a camera," said Kylie during the interview.
She told her followers to "Go watch that interview," explaining that she doesn't like being the center of attention. Kylie also said, "That seems like a stretch to me. You are reaching, you're reachin', you're reachin'."
I am going to tell you what we truly believe at the bottom of our hearts in Philadelphia," she continued. "F*** around and find out."
