Former NFL player Jason Kelce recently denied falling asleep at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in Miami last Friday after a viral photo appeared to show him dozing off from his VIP box at Hard Rock Stadium. In a conversation with his brother Travis on their “New Heights” podcast, Jason firmly stated that he did not take a nap during the concert, despite evidence to the contrary in the photo.
Travis, Swift’s boyfriend, playfully teased Jason about how he could possibly fall asleep during such an “electric” show, calling it the greatest performance ever. Jason explained that he had been at the concert with his family, dancing with his daughter Elliotte before deciding to sit down and immerse himself in the music. He expressed feeling like he was in a fishbowl with everyone watching him during the show.
Jason saw the viral photo of himself with his eyes closed while supposedly sleeping during the concert on Twitter and was surprised by the attention. He pointed out that there was evidence in the photo that he was wide awake, including his hand hovering above his knee. He said it was impossible for him to sleep with his hand in that position and joked about being betrayed by his friend Beau Allen for sharing the picture.
Travis and Jason bantered back and forth about the photo, with Travis acknowledging that it was just a friend sharing a funny moment. Travis had to miss the concert due to his Kansas City Chiefs game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, admitting that he had FOMO. Jason described the concert as incredible and talked about attending with his wife, Kylie, and three of their daughters, as well as their matriarch, Donna Kelce.
Despite the teasing from Travis and the viral photo, Jason maintained that he did not fall asleep at the Taylor Swift concert. He described the performance as exciting and insane but found himself needing to take a break from dancing with his daughter and decided to sit down and listen to the music. He mocked the idea of sleeping with his hand hovering above his knee and expressed his surprise at the attention the photo received on social media.
Overall, the conversation between the Kelce brothers on their podcast was light-hearted and humorous, with Jason defending himself against accusations of falling asleep at the Taylor Swift concert. The viral photo of him with his eyes closed caused a stir on social media, but Jason explained that he was wide awake and fully engaged in the music during the show. The Kelce family’s matriarch also attended the concert, adding to the fun family outing to the Eras Tour.
