Former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce was spotted apparently falling asleep during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in Miami. His ex-teammate, Beau Allen, shared a photo of Kelce with his eyes closed at the concert. Comments on the post teased Kelce for catching some Z’s during the performance, with some users referencing his ability to sleep anywhere and even poked fun at how he fell asleep on his first date with his wife, Kylie Kelce. Even the Kelce brothers’ podcast account joined in on the fun.
Kelce has yet to address the incident on social media or through his representative. A source close to the situation confirmed that it was all in jest, noting that Kelce’s hand was positioned in a way that indicated he was not actually asleep. Despite Kelce’s light-hearted moment at the concert, he attended the show with his wife, two of their children, and his mother. His brother, Travis Kelce, was absent from the show since the Kansas City Chiefs were preparing for a game against the San Francisco 49ers.
At the concert, Swift performed in the rain, brought out Florence Welch as a surprise guest, and debuted new tour outfits. It is unknown at what point exactly Kelce appeared to take a nap during the show, but he had been to a previous Eras Tour concert in London with his brother Travis. During that show, the two exchanged friendship bracelets with Swifties, but it seems that Kelce’s daughter, Ellie, is the biggest fan of Taylor Swift in the family, as she listens to one of her songs on repeat daily.
The light-hearted moment at the concert added to Kelce’s reputation for being able to fall asleep anywhere, as joked about by fans and friends. Despite the teasing on social media, it appears to have been all in good fun, and Kelce has yet to publicly address it. His presence at the show with family members shows that he enjoyed the experience despite the playful trolling. The family is clearly fans of Taylor Swift, attending more than one show on her Eras Tour and even exchanging special moments with the pop star. The incident certainly gave fans and followers something to talk about.
