Travis Kelce recalls early morning phone call from brother Jason that Taylor Swift called ‘f—ed up’
It’s safe to say Taylor Swift was not pleased with brother-in-law Jason Kelce’s recent early morning wake up call.
The former Philadelphia Eagles star, 38, drew ire from the “Patient Zero” songstress after he dialed her and Travis Kelce, 37, at the crack of dawn to ask his brother to accompany him at the gym.
“I get a call at 7:30 in the morning. In my mind, I’m thinking worst-case scenario,” Travis explained on a recent episode of the brothers’ New Heights podcast. “I’m like, ‘Oh, s—. Is everything okay?’ Maybe after the run Jason’s in the hospital, he blew his knee out or something.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end explained that he groggily answered the call and immediately asked his brother if he was okay.
“Jason’s like, ‘Yeah, can you come spot me?’” Travis recalled, before the brothers both burst into laughter on the podcast. “I was just like, ‘No way! I got my ankle wrap.’”
When Jason clarified that he was in the middle of a bench workout, Travis agreed to go and help his brother out. “I’m like, ‘Cool, ‘cause I wouldn’t be able to save you if it was a f—ing back squat,’” he said. “‘Alright, cool, yeah, I’ll come down.’”
While Travis was game to help his brother out, Swift wasn’t exactly a big fan of being woken up so early.
“I’m walking out of the room, and Taylor’s like, ‘This is f—ed up,’” Travis said. “And I’m just like, ‘Nah, it’ll be good. It’ll be good!’”
Earlier in the episode, Travis explained that Jason is in the middle of participating in Squatober — an entire month dedicated to lower-body workouts.
“He actually asked me how much weight I have in my basement,” Travis said. “I didn’t even add it up. I just told him how many weights I had. And he was like, ‘Oh, okay, cool, I’ll bring some.’ So he flew to Kansas City with… what was it, 50 lbs.?”
Jason revealed that he even brought two 25 lb. weights with him to help achieve his squat goals.
“A couple extra plates to throw on the old squat bar,” Travis said. “Absolutely hilarious, the most meathead thing I think I’ve ever seen Jason do.”
