Former NFL star Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie took their daughters, Wyatt and Elliotte, to their first Taylor Swift concert in Miami on October 18, 2024. The family enjoyed the event at Hard Rock Stadium, which marked Taylor's return after a brief break in her 'Eras Tour,' now nearing its grand finale in December. However, what caught the internet's attention was a viral photo of Jason with his eyes closed, leading many to speculate that he was sleeping during the show.

On his podcast New Heights, where Jason co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce - who happens to be Taylor's current partner-he quickly defended himself. "Travis, you know I didn't take a nap... I'm just like sitting here, and I'm just like feeling it and I'm tapping my thigh in the moment..." Jason explained.

He also joked about feeling like he was "in a fishbowl," which led him to sit down during the performance.

Jason Kelce's 'Proof' He Wasn't Sleeping

During the entertaining podcast, Jason revealed what he called "irrefutable proof that he wasn't dozing off at the Taylor Swift concert. In the viral image, his hand can be seen moving, which he argued showed that he was fully immersed in the music like the other 60,000 fans in the rain-soaked stadium that night.

Jason also emphasized that the rain added a special element to the concert, raising the experience to one of the best live performances he's ever witnessed.
