In the aftermath of her husband Jason Kelce’s shirtless spectacle during the AFC divisional playoff, Kylie Kelce revealed the untold story of the chaotic yet entertaining episode. Jason, a key figure for the Philadelphia Eagles, drew attention as he passionately cheered on his brother and the Kansas City Chiefs in their clash with the Buffalo Bills.
Kylie, in an exclusive interview with Good Morning America, shed light on Jason’s reason for creating that iconic spectacle.
Kylie Kelce talks on Jason Kelce’s viral shirtless moment
During the Bills vs. Chiefs game, Jason Kelce stole the spotlight as he removed his shirt and roared to support his brother’s team.
Kylie Kelce, wife of Jason shared that Jason aimed to embrace the full Bills fan experience, known for their tailgating traditions.
“He wanted to get the full Bills experience. I’m sure you know as a Bills fan, they are notorious or famous for their tailgating skills, I will say.” Kylie said.
She explained that breaking a table became Jason’s top priority for the day, a key element of Bills fan culture.
“He desperately wanted to go through a table. It was on his checklist for the day, top priority of the day — go through table.”
Upon realizing he couldn’t break a table, Jason decided to take his shirt off and jump into the crowd from the suite.
“He did not get a chance to do that. And so, when he came into the suite — we arrived separately because he was meeting up with some friends and walking through the parking lot, I think, hoping to find himself a table — he was unsuccessful. And so when he got into the suite, he said to me, ‘I’m going to, I’m going to take my shirt off and I’m gonna jump out,'”
Kylie, witnessing Jason’s energetic actions, initially supported him, attributing it to his earlier enthusiasm about breaking a table.
“And I was like, ‘I don’t think that’s the best idea.’ But I think that it was that continued energy from when he was hyping himself up to break a table,” she continued. “So, the first time he jumped out of the suite, I was, you know what, go ahead. That’s my husband!”
Kylie, later concerned about the chaos, had to ask Jason to return to the suite.
“And then the second and third time he did it, I was like, I’m gonna need you to get back in because the poor cops that are out front trying to keep the chaos at a minimum, are, you’re making their jobs harder.”
Kylie Kelce also enjoyed her husband’s antics but she was worried for him and that was the only reason she tried to stop him.
Jason Kelce talks on his viral moment with Travis
The Kelce brothers also talked about Jason Kelce’s viral moment during the Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff win over the Buffalo Bills on their podcast, “New Heights.”
Travis Kelce expressed no surprise at Jason’s viral antics. Travis described the scene as “pure pandemonium.”
“You celebrated my touchdown by taking off your shirt, screaming, jumping out of the suite chugging a beer with the fans. Then jumping back into the suite. I watched this and it was pure pandemonium,” Travis said.
Jason dismissed the idea, stating it’s merely him enjoying the moment with Bills Mafia fans during the winter.
“This is just a man in his elements with his Bills mafia compadres,” Jason said.
Travis wished there were more cameras on Kylie to capture her reaction beyond the original clip. Jason Kelce humorously mentioned giving Kylie a heads-up about his shirtless plan, emphasizing that he wasn’t seeking permission but informing her of his decision.
Jason Kelce recalled Kylie wanting him to be on his best behavior as they were meeting Taylor Swift that night. Jason attributed his behavior to the “Jason Kelce charm” and expressed a desire to make his best first impression, considering it his best chance.
“This is part of the Jason Kelce charm. I wanna make my best first impression. This is my best chance.”
Travis revealed that Taylor Swift thoroughly enjoyed Jason’s company, stating she “absolutely loved” him. The broadcast showed Swift high-fiving Jason when he climbed back into the suite.
In the end, Jason Kelce stole the spotlight in the game and it shows his enthusiasm and supportive nature for his brother. Now, the Chiefs are set to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and you never know what Jason is going to do next.
