Travis Kelce & Jason Kelce Deliver Christmas Vocals With Boyz II Men

As a longtime fan of both Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs, I must say that witnessing their blossoming romance has been nothing short of delightful. Taylor, with her enchanting charm and captivating performances, and Travis, with his athletic prowess and charismatic personality, make for a truly unforgettable couple.

Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce are jacks of all trades. 

Once more, NFL players have ventured into the realm of music, teaming up with Boyz II Men to produce “It’s Christmas (In Cleveland Heights)” as part of The Philly Specials’ yearly Christmas charity single.

As I gaze upon the digital screen, I find myself transported by an animated video that surfaced on YouTube on the 6th of December. In this vibrant piece, the cartoon likeness of Travis floats serenely against the sky backdrop, delivering his message in a unique blend of song and speech. His words echo through the ether, “This is a tribute to every soul across the globe who finds themselves yearning for home this festive season.

After that, the musical trio Boyz II Men, composed of members Nathan Morris, Wanyá Morris, and Shawn Stockman, appear under their fictional personas, Toyz II Men. They grace us with an enchanting tune, paving the way for Travis and Jason to join in with their respective verses.

Travis sings, ‘It feels like it’s been years since I was last at home,’ Travis being the one who has been with Taylor Swift for a year now. ‘Yes, I’m back home now.’

Additionally, Jason—who has Wyatt (age 5), Elliotte (age 3), Bennett (22 months old), and another baby on the way with his wife Kylie Kelce—also sings later, “It’s Christmastime in Cleveland Heights.

The former player from the Philadelphia Eagles still ponders over the rising popularity of his siblings, as he composes a tune that speaks of going back to their birthplace in Ohio.

“I think about the lives I left behind,” Jason croons. “And now snow begins to fall.”

Jason, along with his teammates Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, established the Philly Specials in order to generate funds for charity through the yearly publication of Christmas tunes, starting from 2022. Jason also provided some insights about this initiative on social media.

Travis is once again kindly lending his voice to contribute to our Christmas album for the second consecutive year, as mentioned in a post on X’s page on Dec. 6. This year, the song holds special meaning for us, being an ode to our hometown. I hope you all will enjoy this music video!

Although Jason continues an old custom and recently teamed up with Stevie Nicks for a track in this season’s holiday collection, Taylor – who also boasts a Christmas album – hasn’t contributed her voice to the project so far.

Indeed, it’s been revealed that Jason wouldn’t ask Taylor for any favors, as he stated quite firmly that if someone were to request Eras Tour tickets from her, the answer would be an instant “no.

On The Rich Eisen Show last month, he clarified that while Taylor has promised to care for anyone I ask, I continue to decline requests from everyone. I don’t wish to be the one imposing myself.

In his words, “She has always been kind and considerate towards our family. She’s truly an exceptional individual, and I hope this pleasant relationship continues.

Regardless of how the dynamics between the Kelce family and Taylor are shaping up now, it’s evident that things are going smoothly. Stick around to learn more about why Travis and Taylor’s bond may be destined for a long-term future.

Even before Taylor Swift’s appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs’ game on September 24, 2023 turned into a significant cultural highlight, Travis Kelce had long been a fan of the Grammy-winning artist.

Back in August 2023, one of the star tight end’s teammates disclosed their interest in Taylor through a TikTok video shared by the Chiefs. In retrospect, this video appeared to be capturing a moment when they were discreetly dating.

Before Travis could answer the prompt of who his celebrity crush was, wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling spilled, “Taylor Swift!”

Travis smiled at the camera before holding his finger up to his moustache, saying, “Alright now!”

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Travis was among numerous famous figures who attended Taylor’s history-making Eras Tour prior to the commencement of their year-long relationship. Let’s delve into that charming episode later on…

Although there’s a wistful glint in his eyes whenever he watches Taylor during her public appearances, such as at his games, Travis appears to be somewhat unique when you reflect on Taylor’s past relationships.

She usually finds herself drawn to individuals who are creative, such as actors like Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, and Tom Hiddleston, as well as musicians including Calvin Harris, John Mayer, Harry Styles, and more recently, Matty Healy.

Maybe that’s the reason why Taylor finds the sportsman, who secured a fresh two-year contract with the Chiefs worth $34.25 million in 2024, and whose personality is lighthearted and playful, to be such a delightful change following her six-year long, highly private relationship with Joe, which ended in April 2023.

It seems that the eight-time Pro Bowler’s dreams appeared to be realized as he strongly suggested his alleged relationship with the superstar by demonstrating strong intent, resolve, and public expressions of affection.

On July 7, 2023, at the Kansas City stop of Taylor’s Eras Tour, Travis openly shared his unsuccessful attempt to connect with Taylor. He had a unique present for her – a friendship bracelet with his “number” engraved on it, which he intended to give to Taylor. However, it wasn’t clear whether it was his jersey number or phone number that he had written on the gift.

Although he stated that he was “disappointed,” Taylor later revealed to TIME that she eventually tuned into his podcast instead of meeting him after the concert.

She reminisced that Travis playfully exposed her on his podcast, and she thought it was incredibly cool. Following this, our paths crossed. It turned out that we had a good chunk of private time together, which I appreciate since it allowed us to build a strong connection.

In other words, as Taylor explained to TIME, it wouldn’t make sense for them to treat the September 24th game like their debut date in such an exaggerated manner.

After her split with Joe, Taylor Swift has become noticeably more visible in public events. This includes socializing with friends in New York City and high-spirited performances at awards ceremonies such as the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and the 2024 Grammys.

However, the topic that generated the most buzz? It was when she sat in Travis’ suite during the September 24, 2023 home match between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Chicago Bears.

Instead of avoiding the limelight, Taylor enthusiastically yelled “Come on, let’s do this!” as Travis scored a touchdown. Even Travis acknowledged that he was surprised when Taylor agreed to his invitation, just like many in the crowd.

During the September 27th episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis praised Taylor, saying “What she did took a lot of courage,” which was his way of acknowledging her boldness. He also appreciated that everyone in the suite spoke highly of her, including her friends and family.

“She looked amazing,” he added. ” It was definitely a game I will remember, that’s for damn sure.”

Ever since then, Taylor and Travis have been spotted together on romantic outings across various global locations, and they’ve even frequented a festive bar in Kansas City, openly displaying affection.

Following her disclosure to TIME that she withdrew from the limelight after Kim Kardashian’s notorious leaked phone conversation in 2016, Taylor Swift is out and about tonight, and will continue to be every night if she pleases, with gratitude.

She expressed, “Time passes quickly, so seize opportunities for excitement. Spending countless years confined within my home is a part of my past that I can’t reclaim. I’ve become more open and trusting over the last six years.

Travis made it clear that he wouldn’t hesitate to discuss his past interactions with Taylor during his September 27, 2023 podcast. However, he also clarified that he intended to respect his personal life and limit further discussions on this topic in the future.

He acknowledged that he had drawn attention to himself, saying, “I realize I’ve been in the spotlight due to my actions.” He went on to explain, “I made friendship bracelets and shared with everyone about my disappointment over not meeting Taylor.” However, he clarified that he wasn’t intending to provide a detailed account of their relationship.

He clarified that since his experiences are personal, he wants to maintain respect for both their lives. He’s currently living life to the fullest and had a great weekend. Going forward, he might need to confine his discussions about sports and his casual expressions like ‘alright nah’ within certain boundaries.

In a November 2023 interview with the Wall Street Journal, he firmly reiterated his intention to maintain a calm demeanor.

Everyone around him is advising him not to mess things up, and he’s responding with a nod and a “Got it,” according to his statement to the outlet. What stood out most to him was ensuring he didn’t say anything that might drive Taylor further away from him.

However, this doesn’t imply that he has managed to keep quiet about his girlfriend in public; instead, he’s openly discussed her, attributing the surge in sales of his jersey to her and praising her as “amazing” following an instance where she was jeered by New England Patriots spectators during his December 17th game.

He confessed to the Wall Street Journal, “I’ve never been one to use many words.” Being near Taylor, observing her intelligence, has left me utterly astounded. Every day, I find myself learning something new.

Similar to Taylor, who has a strong bond with her mother Andrea, Travis comes from a closely connected family, specifically his parents Ed and Donna Kelce.

In February 2023, Donna gained widespread affection as she watched her two sons, Travis and Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles, compete against each other in a Super Bowl – a unique moment in sports history.

Donna stated that ET, at the time, it felt like a dream come true when everything fell into place: high school, college, professional careers, Pro Bowl appearances, Super Bowl games, and culminating in this moment. She expressed that it was incredibly special for her family and still seemed almost unreal.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: After my 25-year marriage ended, I found myself supporting my two boys in an unique way – by donning a jackett that proudly displayed both the black and red colors of the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, two teams that held special meaning for our family.

Following the exhilarating Super Bowl where the Chiefs triumphed over the Eagles, I found myself reminiscing along with my companions, Travis and Jason, about the unforgettable moments we shared with Donna throughout this incredible event.

Jason shared on the brothers’ New Heights podcast, “That’s when I became incredibly sentimental – it was when I saw mom.” He continued, “It was just incredible…For a whole week, she seemed like she was walking on clouds.

Travis remarked, “She was the undisputed champion among men.” He continued, “She held her own, and she outshone everyone throughout.

Similar to Taylor Swift and her younger sibling Austin, Travis shares a unique relationship with his elder brother Jason, whose passion for football served as an inspiration for him.

Besides excelling in their football careers with the NFL, Travis and Jason ventured into hosting their own podcast, “New Heights,” starting from September 2022. This new endeavor not only fortified their bond but also boosted their financial standing.

In February 2023, I shared with NBC Sports how this unique setup offers me a set timeframe, roughly two to three hours, where we engage in heart-to-heart conversations every week and during games. It’s become an almost therapeutic experience for me, like a regular check-in session that helps us navigate our lives together.

Indeed, they didn’t physically encounter each other until 2023, yet there were some unseen threads connecting them over time.

Taylor Swift and Travis Scott have Miles Teller as a mutual friend, with the actor from ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and his wife Keleigh Sperry being enlisted by Taylor to appear in the music video for her song “I Bet You Think About Me” off her album ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’, which was released in 2021.

Meanwhile, in 2022, Travis teamed up with Miles and NFL player Patrick Mahomes for some golf drills prior to the American Century Championship.

Miles posted a picture from the golf course with the sportsmen, captioning it, “Swing hard and straight.” In response, Travis demonstrated their strong friendship by sharing the image too, commenting, “As if we ever stopped playing together!

It’s worth mentioning that Miles is a devoted fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. Maybe he used his connections to arrange a real-life meeting between Travis and Taylor?

On September 24, 2023, Taylor went to the game all by herself. However, she had a group of famous friends with her when she visited the Chiefs versus New York Jets game at New Jersey’s Metlife Stadium on October 1.

She was joined by her close friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman, as well as Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski from Queer Eye.

Even though their presence at the game conveyed a lot, what really stood out was Ryan deciding to follow Travis on Instagram.

Apart from his impressive record of participating in four Super Bowls and triumphing in three of them (no big deal!), Travis has also graced the stage as a host on Saturday Night Live, demonstrating his ability to manage high-pressure situations gracefully.

It appears simple, but Taylor’s songs such as “Peace” and “The Archer” express her worry that her celebrity status might become overwhelming for her romantic partners.

Taylor stated, “It’s contingent on who you’re associating with.” Essentially, if they have an issue with it, she might need to conceal herself in some way, but she dislikes this situation because it makes her feel like she’s evading the authorities or something. She doesn’t wish to feel like a fugitive, more like, “Oh my goodness, we’re in a relationship, let’s hide!

“I feel like if you can be in a relationship and have it seem normal, that would be good.” 

In the interview with the Wall Street Journal, it was clear that Travis demonstrated he can handle the intense demands that come with being involved with a figure as influential as Taylor.

He stated, “I’ve never encountered someone like that in terms of their aura before, and I haven’t had the opportunity to navigate those waters. However, I’m not avoiding or shying away from the situation either.

He commented, “She is constantly under intense public scrutiny, as if a magnifying glass is always on her. Every day, paparazzi are outside her house, outside every restaurant she visits, and even after each flight she disembarks. She’s just living and enjoying life. So, when she behaves in such a manner, I don’t want to be the one looking out of place.

Fans were overjoyed and thought it was straight out of a romantic comedy after a fan recorded video of Taylor dashing into Travis’ arms for an emotional kiss following their performance in Argentina on November 11. This affectionate moment came after Taylor unexpectedly altered the lyrics of her song “Karma,” changing “the guy on the screen” to “the guy on the Chiefs,” which left Travis surprised since he was there with Taylor’s father, Scott Swift.

Attending 13 Chiefs games throughout the previous season, even when it meant leaving immediately after a performance in Tokyo and making it to the Super Bowl, underscores just how committed they are to each other.

Taylor shared with TIME that they will be there for each other, cheering him on as he pursues his passion. They don’t mind if others are present. In contrast, some people go to great lengths to keep their relationship hidden. But they are simply happy and proud of one another.

If her attendance at NFL games bothers you, rest assured, she doesn’t hold a grudge against you strongly enough to care.

She mentioned that there’s a camera at a distance of about half a mile, but she doesn’t know its exact location or when it might capture her footage. As a result, she’s unsure if she appears on screen multiple times or just once during the broadcast. All she wants is to back Travis, and she’s unaware if her visibility could be causing some discomfort among certain viewers like dads, Brads, and Chads by showing her too much.

On the 5th of October, Travis celebrated his 34th birthday, which means he was born in the year 1989. Quite a shocker, isn’t it? (I hope he had a better day than that!)

Regarding Killa Trav’s birthday, did you realize it coincides with the birthdate of Marjorie Finlay, who was Taylor Swift’s late grandmother and the inspiration for her song “Marjorie” from her 2020 album ‘evermore’? It seems quite a coincidence, doesn’t it?
