Media coverage of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship has led the press to closely following not only the Kansas City Chiefs star, but his brother Jason Kelce — who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles — and their parents, Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce, too. An article published by TMZ on October 31 said the family was fine with the added attention because they knew Travis was happy dating the “Cruel Summer” artist. The family was, however, surprised by just how fervent Swift’s fan base could be, and that’s why they were “a little worried for [Travis]’s safety.”
Jason voiced early concerns that his brother’s relationship with Swift could become unmanageable. “But there’s another end of [the relationship] where it’s like, ‘Man, this is a lot,'” Jason told NBC Sports on October 23. “As long as it’s not, you know, becoming a threat to his safety and things like that,” he added, while mentioning that the Travis-Taylor stories were on pace to eclipse the media attention previously garnered from Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen.
Concerns about Swift’s fan base extended beyond the Kelce family, as an ex-girlfriend of Travis’ claimed she started to receive threats. Maya Benberry, who briefly dated the tight end in 2016, said fans targeted her. “Swifties are aggressive, very negative, very hypocritical,” she told “Inside Edition” in September (via Vanity Fair). Despite the potential safety concerns, Travis’ parents took the added media attention in stride.
