November is a lot of things. It's fall football on the couch with the Sunday light streaming through the windows. It's Thanksgiving, falling leaves and a slight cool breeze.
It's also when Jason Kelce and his former offensive lineman teammates, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, will release a brand new Philadelphia Eagles Christmas album.
Every album so far has had several features, including former teammates and musical artists. Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, quarterback Jalen Hurts, Chiefs tight end and Jason's brother Travis Kelce, R&B artist Patti LaBelle and more have guest starred on previous albums.
This year, however, is panning out to be the most star-studded version of the album yet. Wednesday morning, the "New Heights" podcast's X (formerly Twitter) account posted a photo of Jason with legendary singer Stevie Nicks, teasing a potential collaboration between the two this coming winter.
So, are Kelce and Nicks releasing a Christmas album? Here's everything to know about the former NFL star's upcoming project.

Are Jason Kelce and Stevie Nicks releasing a Christmas album?
While its unclear what song Nicks could be featured on or what her full role in the album actually is, but the post's caption, reading "Coming soon to a Christmas album near you," indicates she will make an appearance.
Notably, the Fleetwood Mac singer is close friends with Travis' serious girlfriend and pop star Taylor Swift. Because of their relationship, there's speculation that Swift had something to do with facilitating the collaboration.

Stevie Nicks-Taylor Swift relationship, explained
Swift and Nicks first appeared together publicly at the 2010 Grammys, performing together during the awards show. Nicks has admitted she was hesitant to collaborate with the young singer at first, but she was quickly charmed into the gig.
The two have remained close over the years, keeping their relationship private for the most part. However, in May 2023, less than a year after the death of her bandmate Christine McVie, Nicks thanked Swift during a concert for her new song "You're on Your Own, Kid" from her recently released "Midnights" album.
“That is the sadness of how I feel,” she said on stage of McVie. “When it was the two of us, the two of us were on our own, kids. We always were, and now, I’m having to learn to be on my own, kid, by myself.”

This April, Swift released another album titled "The Tortured Poet's Department." The track-list features a song called "Clara Bow," where Swift references Nicks by name. Additionally, included in the CD and vinyl editions of the album was a poem written by Nicks dedicated with "For T and me..."
Their most recent interaction came over social media, just after Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for the election in November. She wrote a letter in the caption, signing it as "Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady," in reference to comments made by Republican Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance.
Nicks endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket as well, mentioning her friend and signing her tweet with the term "Childless Dog Lady."
