Jason said he got emotional when he heard Swift talk about Travis on the New Heights, the popular podcast he hosts with his brother.

When asked about his chances of being the best man, Jason said:

"First of all, hopefully I'm the best man. We'll see, Tra has a lot of friends. I'm just hoping to get the opportunity," he said.

Jason shared his own experience and joked that before the NFL, he struggled to talk to women, but being a pro supposedly made it easier to develop social skills. Still, he emphasized that Travis Kelce's authenticity and giving nature make him stand out from everyone else.

"He's a great person. He's unselfish. Everything he does, I think, would lead to him finding uh somebody that would want to be with him for all the right reasons and more," he remarked.

Jason Kelce mentioned that it was only a matter of time before Travis met someone who valued him for the right reasons, and he felt that watching his brother's bond with Taylor Swift grow made it all the more special.
