Shocking News:Kylie Kelce Turns Down Taylor Swift’s Home-Cooked Meal During Double Date with Travis and Jason Kelce: Here’s Why…see more.
In a candid revelation that sparked headlines and speculation, Kylie Kelce, wife of former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, shared why she didn’t partake in a home-cooked meal prepared by pop superstar Taylor Swift during a double date with her husband, brother-in-law Travis Kelce, and Swift herself. The story, which unfolded during an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast on February 12, 2025, offers a relatable glimpse into Kylie’s life as a soon-to-be mother of four and dispels any notions of tension between her and Swift, Travis Kelce’s high-profile girlfriend. Here’s the full scoop on what happened, why it happened, and how Kylie set the record straight.
The Double Date That Started It All
Kylie Kelce, a beloved figure among NFL fans for her down-to-earth personality and unwavering support for her husband Jason, joined host Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy to discuss various aspects of her life, from her marriage to her experiences as a football wife. The conversation took an intriguing turn when Cooper asked if Kylie and Jason had ever gone on a double date with Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, whose relationship has been a media sensation since it went public in September 2023.
“Technically, yes,” Kylie replied, clarifying that the double date took place at home rather than at a public venue. The intimate setting suggested a cozy night in, and Cooper, clearly intrigued, followed up by asking if Kylie had ever sampled one of Swift’s famed home-cooked meals. Swift, known for her musical talents, has also earned a reputation among friends and fans as an exceptional cook, with Travis himself praising her homemade Pop-Tarts and cinnamon rolls in past interviews.
Kylie’s response, however, caught listeners off guard. “I don’t know that I really ate the meal,” she admitted, prefacing her explanation with, “This is going to sound terrible.” Far from a critique of Swift’s culinary skills, Kylie revealed a deeply human reason for passing on the meal: “I didn’t really eat the meal because I was eight weeks pregnant. It was one of those where nothing would sit with me.”
Pregnancy Nausea: The Real Culprit
At the time of the double date, Kylie was in the early stages of her fourth pregnancy with Jason. The couple, married since 2018, already share three daughters—Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 23 months—and announced in November 2024 that they were expecting another girl. For anyone familiar with the challenges of early pregnancy, Kylie’s explanation resonates as a classic case of first-trimester nausea, a common symptom that can make even the most appetizing dishes unappealing.
“I was eight weeks pregnant,” Kylie elaborated, emphasizing that her decision wasn’t a reflection of Swift’s cooking. “It was one of those where nothing sounded good to me.” Her honesty painted a relatable picture of the physical toll pregnancy can take, and she later doubled down on this sentiment in a follow-up episode of her own podcast, Not Gonna Lie, on February 20, 2025. “The home-cooked meals that I did not get to enjoy were not because I refused to eat them,” she clarified, “but because the child in my womb overwhelmed me with hormones that suggested if I consume anything other than crackers, that it might be seen again, if you catch my drift.”
Kylie’s lighthearted yet frank explanation underscored a universal truth for many expectant mothers: pregnancy nausea isn’t a choice. “Anyone that has experienced pregnancy nausea knows that it’s not a choice,” she said. “At eight weeks, that’s not a choice.”
Setting the Record Straight
The initial Call Her Daddy episode sparked a flurry of headlines, some of which sensationalized Kylie’s comments with phrases like “Kylie Kelce Refused to Eat Taylor Swift’s Home-Cooked Meal.” The framing irked Kylie, who felt it misrepresented the situation and unnecessarily pitted her against Swift. In her Not Gonna Lie episode, she addressed the media’s spin head-on, expressing frustration with the narrative.
“I didn’t refuse anything,” Kylie insisted. “I wouldn’t refuse anything, especially if I was without child.” She went on to clarify that the meal in question wasn’t even entirely Swift’s doing—an “outstanding chef” had prepared the dinner for the double date, though Swift did contribute a homemade treat that Kylie was able to enjoy. “I did get a chance to try, I believe they were confetti, like Funfetti pancakes,” she shared. “Regardless, they hit. They were so good. Baby liked them, I loved them. They were very, very good.”
Kylie’s praise for Swift’s pancakes was a small but significant olive branch, proving there was no bad blood between the two women. She also took issue with the broader trend of media outlets creating conflict where none existed. “Why are we trying to pit women against women?” she asked. “That seems dumb and counterproductive. Let’s stop writing articles when there’s not any beef to write articles about.”
A Bond Beyond the Headlines:
Beyond the meal mishap, Kylie offered insight into her relationship with Swift, dispelling rumors of avoidance or tension. Fans had speculated about why it took until January 2024—when Swift attended a Chiefs playoff game against the Buffalo Bills—for the two to meet, given that Travis and Swift began dating in the summer of 2023. “People are deeply disturbed by this,” Kylie noted, referencing the buzz about their delayed introduction. “There was all of this stuff leading up to it about, ‘Well, why haven’t they met? They’re avoiding each other.’ I’m not avoiding anyone. I’m more than happy to meet someone, especially someone that Travis is dating.”
Kylie put the speculation to rest by pointing out that delayed meetings are par for the course in her busy family. “I didn’t meet Travis for probably close to a year when Jason and I were dating,” she said, adding with a laugh, “And she’s busy.” Swift, after all, was in the midst of her record-breaking Eras Tour during much of 2023 and 2024, a schedule that left little room for casual hangouts.
Despite the timing, Kylie and Swift have since bonded over shared roots. Both grew up visiting the same New Jersey shore points—Sea Isle and Stone Harbor—where Kylie and Jason now own a home. “We grew up going to the same shore points,” Kylie revealed, highlighting a connection that transcends their high-profile family ties.
The Kelce Family’s Early Scoop
Kylie also shed light on how she and Jason learned about Travis and Swift’s romance, which remained under wraps until Swift’s appearance at a Chiefs game on September 24, 2023. “We were not [told],” she said when Cooper asked if the family had been clued in via a group chat. “I will say we knew before everyone else knew, but it did not hit the group chat. Jason and I found out together, but we knew before they hard launched with her going to a game.”
While Kylie didn’t specify how they got the news, her comments align with Swift’s own account of the relationship’s early days. In a 2023 Time magazine interview, Swift explained that she and Travis had “a significant amount of time that no one knew” to get to know each other before going public, a period that evidently included some awareness from Jason and Kylie.
A United Front at the Super Bowl
The double date story gained extra resonance in the wake of Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025, where the Chiefs faced off against the Eagles. Kylie joined Swift in a private suite to watch the game, which ended in a 40-22 victory for Philadelphia. Despite the loss for Travis and the Chiefs, the women’s presence together signaled solidarity, even as Swift faced boos from some Eagles fans—a moment Kylie subtly supported by liking an Instagram post defending the singer.
Kylie’s admiration for Swift extends beyond their personal interactions. In a January 2024 Glamour interview, she praised Swift’s influence on football, noting how her game appearances have inspired young girls to take an interest in the sport. “To see that other young girls are getting involved… it’s only something that can be painted in a positive and exciting light,” she said.
Conclusion: No Drama, Just Pancakes
Kylie Kelce’s decision to skip Taylor Swift’s home-cooked meal wasn’t a snub—it was a side effect of pregnancy, plain and simple. Her subsequent
clarifications and praise for Swift’s Funfetti pancakes reveal a woman eager to quash rumors and celebrate her brother-in-law’s happiness. As Travis and Swift’s relationship continues to captivate the public, Kylie remains a grounded voice, reminding us that behind the headlines are real people navigating life’s messiest, most human moments—one cracker (or pancake) at a time.
