The Kelce brothers are well aware of where they stand in the football world. Jason and Travis have been among the top names in the league for quite some time as elite players at their respective positions.
As wild and unruly as football fanatics can be, though, it's nothing compared to Swifites.
Travis Kelce finds himself as the focal point of an even larger following than Chiefs Kingdom. Due to his relationship with Taylor Swift, the Kansas City 34-year-old tight end has achieved an elevated level of attention.
While there are plenty of positives to come with his newfound fame, it's not all sunshine and roses. Kelce has found just how far Swifties and dogged paparazzi are willing to go to take a peek into the singer's life.
Jason Kelce discussed the frenzy surrounding Swift appeared on the latest episode of Shaquille O'Neal's podcast, "The Big Podcast With Shaq." The Eagles center, who has hinted at retirement but not confirmed it, revealed that his younger sibling actually had to move due to people constantly showing up to his house.

"He had to completely move out of his house," Jason Kelce said. "People were just staying by his house. The first day he moved into the new house … a gated community, someone knocks on a window of the house."
As mentioned, the Kelces are no strangers to fame. Both have been in the league for more than 10 years now and are popular names among football diehards. But since Swift started dating the Chiefs tight end, the family has had to adjust.
"We’ve always been big in the football world, Travis especially," Kelce said. “The Taylor world and the pop culture world, that’s a whole different level. It’s a new demographic that wasn’t there before."

Swift became a Chiefs fan during the 2023 season thanks to her connection with Kelce. She was seen at a number of games throughout the year, and was in attendance for all of Kansas City's playoff contests, including the Chiefs' win in Super Bowl 58 over the 49ers. Her presence at NFL games increased interest from the younger female audience — not just in the game, but also in the top players.
Clearly, a few fans have taken "follow" a little too literally when it comes to Kelce.
