“I did watch the podcast … and I think it was just really, really eventful.”

She added:

“It was authentic. It was just something I think everybody was thrilled to see, and it was a very loving podcast.”

"I was just very impressed. She is a very talented woman, and I think it is probably her best work."

He said:

"Just confirms my initial impression of her," which is that "she's a very genuine, down-to-earth person."

Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie, described herself as a Swiftie in a viral TikTok post, saying:

"Just another swiftie tryna learn football, or a kid tryna avoid a nap. Who knows?"

Jason, Travis Kelce’s brother, revealed in a video shared by the NFL on NBC that his dream podcast guest was Taylor:

"I can’t say Taylor Swift. Come on, it’s too obvious. Travis would kill me.”
