'Let them live': Internet abuzz as Jason Kelce reveals Travis forced to move houses due to fans' behavior
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Social media users expressed discontent towards Taylor Swift's fanbase, affectionately known as Swifties, following revelations made by Philadelphia Eagles' center Jason Kelce on a recent podcast.
Jason disclosed that his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, had to relocate due to the actions of Swifties amid his romance with the 'Lover' singer.
During a podcast hosted by NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal over the Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas recently, Jason discussed his ongoing contemplation of retirement, citing his reluctance to hang up his cleats while observing his brother's success in the playoffs.
Furthermore, Jason generated additional attention by humorously addressing Swifties on his and his brother's podcast, 'The New Heights,' recently, suggesting that their admiration for Swift influences their backing of Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Jason Kelce reveals Travis Kelce moved houses after going public about relationship with Taylor Swift
Recently, Jason candidly discussed the repercussions faced by his brother Travis following the public disclosure of his relationship with Taylor Swift.
According to Page Six, Jason appeared on Shaq's podcast, 'The BIG Podcast,' over the weekend, talking about fame that his brother acquired after dating Swift, stating, "It's crazy to feel how much joy you bring people, or how much you affect people's daily lives. Probably has its drawbacks for sure."
Jason, gesturing towards Shaq, continued, "I mean, you know way more than I do." He then revealed that Travis had to relocate, emphasizing, "And Travis knows way more than I do. I mean, he had to move, he had to completely move out of his house, right?" in response to which the other host inquired, "People were like coming by?"
Kelce affirmed, "Yeah, people just staying by his house. I mean, safety reasons. And the first day he moved into the new house-," before being interrupted by the host, who anticipated the subsequent scenario post-Travis' relocation, stating that fans "knew where he was already."
Continuing, Kelce mentioned, "A gated community," indicating that Travis encountered instances where "somebody knocks on the back door, a window of the house."
Kelce admitted in the podcast that he was unfamiliar with the concept of fame before his brother's relationship with the songstress blossomed last year, remarking, “We’ve always been big in the football world, Travis especially. The Taylor world and the pop culture world, that’s a whole different level. It’s a new demographic that wasn’t there before."

In October 2023, Page Six confirmed Travis' purchase of a $6 million mansion in Kansas City, Missouri, just one month after publicly acknowledging his relationship with Swift.
Travis began searching for a new residence after realizing the accessibility of his previous upscale Briarcliff West neighborhood home, which he acquired in 2019 for $995,000.
Swift and Travis sparked romance rumors in September 2023, as reported by Page Six.
