Philadelphia Eagles

For Travis and Jason Kelce, blood is thicker than water ... because the Kansas City Chiefs star is singing on a Philadelphia Eagles Christmas song despite an NFL rivalry.

Here's the deal ... Travis is lending his voice to a track on the upcoming Philadelphia Eagles holiday album, "A Philly Special Christmas Special," singing a duet with his brother Jason.

The Kelce Christmas song is called "Fairytale of Philadelphia" and it's dropping Wednesday ... ahead of next month's full album release.

Travis and Jason are super close, but they play on rival NFL teams ... with their squads meeting in last season's Super Bowl. They play the rematch this week on Monday Night Football.

Frankly, it's kind of strange for Travis to be on a Philadelphia Eagles holiday album ... and some are questioning if the Kelce brothers' relationship is going too far. Sure, they host a weekly podcast together ... but this is a whole different ballgame.

Of course, there's a Taylor Swift angle to this too ... the main reason Travis is being featured on an opposing team's album is because he's dating Taylor.

In a preview for the song, Travis sings "You are handsome" to Jason, who replies, "You are pretty." Travis then sings "You're the king of South Philly" before they launch into song together.

Jason's Eagles teammates Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson are his partners on the album ... and in the song with Travis they say, "We're going to let a Chief steal the show? Hell no!!!"

For his part, Travis said on the most recent Kelce brothers podcast he has no musical talent. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Para Travis y Jason Kelce, la lealtad entre hermanos es más fuerte que cualquier cosa, porque la estrella de los Kansas City Chiefs está cantando en una canción de Navidad de los Philadelphia Eagles a pesar de su rivalidad en la NFL.

El asunto es el siguiente, Travis está prestando su voz para una pista que saldrá en el próximo álbum navideño de los Philadelphia Eagles, "A Philly Special Christmas Special", cantando a dúo con su hermano Jason.

La canción navideña de Kelce se llama "Fairytale of Philadelphia" y fue liberada el miércoles, antes del lanzamiento del álbum completo que será el próximo mes.

Travis y Jason son súper cercanos, pero juegan en equipos rivales de la NFL. De hecho, sus escuadrones se encontraron en el Super Bowl de la temporada pasada. Ellos juegan la revancha esta semana en Monday Night Football.

Francamente, es un poco extraño que Travis esté en un álbum navideño de los Philadelphia Eagles, y algunos se preguntan si la relación de los hermanos Kelce está yendo demasiado lejos. Claro, ambos son anfitriones de un podcast semanal juntos, pero este es un juego completamente diferente.

Por supuesto, también hay un ángulo de Taylor Swift en todo esto. La principal razón por la que Travis está en el álbum de un equipo contrario es porque está saliendo con ella.

En un adelanto de la canción, Travis canta "Eres guapo" a Jason, quien responde: "Eres bonita". A continuación, Travis canta "Eres el rey del sur de Filadelfia" antes de lanzarse a cantar juntos.

Jordan Mailata y Lane Johnson, compañeros de Jason en los Eagles, son sus compañeros en el álbum, y en la canción con Travis dicen: "¿Vamos a dejar que un Chief nos robe el show? Diablos no!!!"

Travis Kelce knows he's doing the right thing in dating Taylor Swift ... and it's all thanks to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid giving his stamp of approval on the relationship.

Big Red gave a glowing review of the pop superstar following the Chiefs' big win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday ... saying "Taylor can stay around all she wants" as Kelce continues to ball out every time she attends his games.

Travis addressed Reid's comments on his "New Heights" podcast with his brother Jason on Wednesday ... saying the coach's endorsement is a good sign.

"I love Coach Reid, man," Taylor's boo said. "What a guy. Listen, when you’re getting Big Red’s approval and blessings, you know you’re doing something right."

Of course, Jason noted Travis' stats see a huge spike whenever T. Swift comes around ... saying he averages nearly 100 yards a game when she's present, and just 46.5 when she skips.

Kelce laughed it all off ... saying there's no way he couldn't know about Taylor's impact on his game -- considering everyone's talking about it on social media.

Travis Kelce sabe que está haciendo lo correcto al salir con Taylor Swift y todo porque el entrenador en jefe de los Chiefs, Andy Reid, le está dando su aprobación a la relación.

Big Red elogió a la superestrella del pop después de la gran victoria de los Chiefs sobre Los Angeles Chargers el domingo, diciendo que "Taylor puede quedarse todo lo que quiera", mientras Kelce siga jugando así de bien cada vez que ella asiste a sus juegos.

Travis abordó los comentarios de Reid en su podcast "New Heights" con su hermano Jason el miércoles, diciendo que el respaldo del entrenador es una buena señal.

"Me encanta el entrenador Reid", dijo la pareja de Taylor. "Qué tipo. Mira, cuando recibes la aprobación y las bendiciones de Big Red, sabes que estás haciendo algo bien".

Por supuesto, Jason señaló que las estadísticas de Travis se disparan cada vez que Taylor Swift se acerca, diciendo que promedia casi 100 yardas por partido cuando ella está presente y solo 46,5 cuando se pierde un partido.

Kelce se rio de todo, diciendo que no había forma de que no supiera del impacto de Taylor en su juego, teniendo en cuenta que todo el mundo está hablando de ello en las redes.

Chris Long dice que los haters de jugar haciendo "Tush Push" deberían calmarse. Le dijo a TMZ Sports que si los equipos tienen un problema con él, simplemente deben aprender a detenerlo.

El "Empujón Fraternal" se ha convertido en uno de los temas más polarizantes en la NFL este año, luego de que los Philadelphia Eagles han encontrado una manera de convertir la en una máquina de anotar.

Algunos han argumentado que es injusto, mientras que otros han dicho que es complicado, aburrido, e incluso peligroso y la NFL tiene que prohibirlo.

Pero Long —quien ganó un Super Bowl con los Eagles en 2018— dijo que la liga no debería hacer tal cosa, explicando que cree que los detractores de la jugada solo tienen envidia de los Birds.

"Los Eagles ejecutándola se ve totalmente diferente a los Niners ejecutándola o algún otro equipo", dijo la selección de primera ronda de 2008. "Y creo que la gente está enfadada con Philly. No le gustamos a nadie, pero no nos importa".

Long nos dice que los equipos no deben mirar a Roger Goodell para arreglar sus problemas con el juego y en su lugar, solo deben "reclutar tipos más grandes". O, mejor aún, ¡que simplemente eviten las jugadas de tercer y cuarto down-and-short contra Philly por completo!

Chris Long says "Tush Push" play haters need to kick rocks ... telling TMZ Sports if teams have such a problem with it, they should simply learn how to stop it.

The "Brotherly Shove" has become one of the most polarizing issues in the NFL this year ... after the Philadelphia Eagles have found a way to turn the ugly QB sneak into a first-down-making machine.

Some have argued it's unfair, while others have said it's so convoluted, boring, and even dangerous -- the NFL needs to ban it.

But Long -- who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2018 -- said the league should do no such thing ... explaining he believes the play's detractors are just envious of the Birds.

"The Eagles running it looks totally different than the Niners running it or some other team," the 2008 first-round pick said. "And I think people are just mad at Philly. No one likes us, we don't care."

Long tells us teams shouldn't look to Roger Goodell to fix their problems with the play ... and instead, they should just "draft bigger guys." Or, better yet, he said just avoid third- and fourth-down-and-short plays against Philly altogether!!!

Jason Kelce clearly thinks Travis Kelce is getting smitten with Taylor Swift ... saying Sunday night his brother sure seems "excited" and "genuine" about the relationship.

The Eagles star told Peter King following the Eagles' win over the Dolphins in Philadelphia, however, that he is at least a little concerned about the level of attention the two new lovebirds are getting.

"On one hand, I'm happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he's excited about, that he is genuine about," Jason said. "But there's another end of it where it's like, 'Man, this is a lot.'"

Jason -- who added that he's "really, really happy" for his brother's "current situation" -- appeared to be particularly worried about the paps who have been following the duo's every move since they went public with their relationship in Kansas City last month.

"There's paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I'm like, 'Is that really necessary information to share?'" Jason said. "This is another level of stardom that typically football players don't deal with."

Jason, though, seemed to believe his brother could handle it all ... as long as the safety of his friends and family isn't threatened.

There must've been a "no girls allowed" rule between the Kelce brothers at the Philadelphia Phillies game on Monday ... 'cause Travis and Jason were spotted enjoying the playoff matchup together -- and Taylor Swift was M.I.A.

The two NFL superstars hit up Citizens Bank Park for Game 1 of the NLCS against the Arizona Diamondbacks ... and the crowd was certainly happy to see them -- erupting in cheers as the bros were shown on the scoreboard in the middle of the contest.

Even though the pop singer was nowhere to be found, her presence was still felt -- as her songs were played over the sound system multiple times throughout the night.

Of course, it's not too crazy for the Phillies to show love for T-Swift -- after all, she is a Pennsylvania native ... and has previously professed her allegiance to Jason's Eagles.

Speaking of Jason -- who's beloved in the city amid a Hall of Fame career with the Birds -- he also stole the show when he chugged a beer, much to Travis' delight.

Travis' appearance at the game comes on the heels of his romantic weekend with Swift -- as we previously reported, the couple was inseparable in NYC ... including two date nights and attending "Saturday Night Live."

Taylor has since returned to the west coast ... but Travis decided to hang back for a bit longer.

Don't sweat it, Swifties ... just 'cause Taylor wasn't there with her new man doesn't really mean much -- Jason's wife, Kylie, wasn't there either ... so we take it the guys just wanted to bro out for the night.

The Swifties are showing they're big fans of Taylor's new man ... 'cause one of them hunted Travis Kelce down at the Jets game on Sunday to hand-deliver him a friendship bracelet.

The Swift supporter, Krissy, explained how she got it all done in a series of TikToks over the weekend ... saying she created the bracelet and one other for the wife of Kelce's brother, Jason, just prior to NY's game against the Eagles on Sunday morning.

She said when she got into MetLife Stadium, she and a friend went searching for Kelce ... and when she found him, she did her best to sweet talk security guards so she could get near him and hand off the goods.

Eventually, she was able to get it to Kelce ... and he obviously loved it.

As for what was written on the jewelry, it said "On The Map" -- a reference to fans who have jokingly said Swift made Kelce famous.

Kelce and Swift have been dating for a few weeks ... though they've just recently gone public with their relationship -- putting on several displays of PDA while out in New York over the weekend.

2:47 PM PT -- Turns out, Travis decided to crash his brother's game after all ... but he showed up late, and by himself ... sans Taylor hanging on his arm. The Chiefs tight end showed up in the stands Sunday around the 2nd quarter of the game -- rocking a green tracksuit and shades.

He looked relaxed, and it also appears his presence stayed pretty low-key... until pics of him started to float around on social media, that is. Like we said, Taylor ain't there -- so this won't be nearly as big a deal as it would be if she showed up. Today, it's all about brothers.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce faked everybody out -- despite making a splashy NYC appearance this weekend ... they're nowhere to be found for a key football game.

There was a lot of speculation that the couple would show up in person Sunday to watch the Jets-Eagles game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey ... y'know, to root for Travis's brother, Jason Kelce, seeing how he's a starter ... plus, Taylor herself is a known Philly fan.

Seeing how they both hit the town the night prior -- with a romantic dinner at Nobu, not to mention a major appearance on 'SNL' not long after -- everything seemed to be lining up for them to be hanging in a private suite come kickoff ... but that never actually happened.

Once the Jets-Eagles game started, there was no mention of Taylor or Travis by the announcers ... nor was there any cut-away shot to them from the camera crew.

There have also been zero credible reports from NFL journos (or otherwise) of them being in the building, and it goes without saying ... not one photo of them at the stadium has surfaced on social media either. What that means in layman's terms ... they ain't there, folks!

It's quite surprising -- but for those who've been paying attention, perhaps not. Fact is, while the NFL almost certainly loves a Taylor appearance (it's a ratings boom) the backlash to all the focus on her during games has been immense ... and football fans are getting cranky.

In fact, this exact issue was lampooned on 'Saturday Night Live' just yesterday -- so, it's possible Tayvis are well aware of this perception ... and pulled an audible in the 11th hour.

They might be skipping the game, but ya gotta figure they'll get together with Jason and others in their inner circle afterward. But for the time being, they're letting JK have the spotlight on his own with his team. Basically, granting NFL purists their aggravated wish.

Sorry, Swifties ... better luck next week.

2:47 PM PT -- Resulta que Travis decidió colarse en el juego de su hermano después de todo, pero se presentó tarde y solo. Nada de Taylor por ninguna parte. El tight end de los Chiefs apareció en las gradas el domingo alrededor del 2º cuarto del partido con un chándal verde y gafas de sol.

Parecía relajado y bastante discreto hasta que sus fotos comenzaron a flotar en redes sociale. Como hemos dicho, Taylor no estába allí. Hoy, todo se trata de los hermanos.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce han engañado a todo el mundo. A pesar de hacer una aparición en NYC este fin de semana, no se encontraron en el partido de fútbol.

Hubo mucha especulación de que la pareja se mostraría en persona el domingo para ver el partido Jets/Eagles en el MetLife Stadium de Nueva Jersey, ya sabes, porque juega el hermano de Travis (Jason Kelce) además, la propia Taylor es una conocida fan de Filadelfia.

Luego de ver cómo ambos salieron de fiesta la noche anterior, con una cena romántica en Nobu, por no hablar de una importante aparición en "SNL" poco después. Todo parecía estar alineado para que estuvieran en primera fila viendo el saque inicial, pero la verdad es que eso nunca pasó

Una vez que el partido comenzó, no hubo mención a Taylor o Travis por los locutores. Tampoco hubo ningúna toma de ellos desde el equipo de cámara.

También ha habido cero informes creíbles de los periodistas de la NFL (o de otro tipo) de ellos en el edificio, y no hace falta decir que no ha aparecido ninguna foto de ellos en el estadio en redes sociales. Lo que significa en términos sencillos... ¡que no están allí!

Todo parece bastante inusual, pero para aquellos que han estado prestando atención a la relación, la verdad no es tan raro. El hecho es que, aunque a la NFL le encanta la aparición de Taylor (es un boom de audiencia), la reacción a toda la atención sobre ella durante los partidos ha sido inmensa, y los aficionados al fútbol se están poniendo de mal humor.

De hecho, este mismo tema fue ridiculizado en "Saturday Night Live" ayer mismo, por lo que es posible que la pareja sea consciente de esta percepción y haya hecho un cambio a última hora.

Puede que se salten el partido, pero podemos imaginar que se reunirán con Jason y otros en su círculo íntimo después. Por el momento, están dejando que JK tenga el centro de atención por su cuenta con su equipo. Básicamente, concediéndole a los puristas de la NFL su deseo.

Lo sentimos Swifties, mejor suerte la próxima semana.

Taylor Swift está poniendo nerviosos a los fanáticos de la NFL en todas partes. Más recientemente, el temor se despertó en la estrella de los Philadelphia Eagles, Darius Slay, quien le está suplicando públicamente a la estrella pop que se quede fuera del partido que enfrentarán a finales de esta temporada.

El 5 veces Pro Bowler habló sobre la reciente presencia de Swift en los partidos de los Chiefs para apoyar a Travis Kelce, en el podcast Big Play Slay de esta semana. Y tenía un mensaje personal para la cantante de "Anti-Hero".

"Taylor, no vengas al partido, porque parece que traes la energía del triunfo", bromeó Slay en The Volume.

Slay tiene una buena razón para estar preocupado. Los Chiefs van 2-0 con Swift en la tribuna, dominando a los Bears en su primer partido en las gradas y exprimiendo una victoria sobre los Jets este fin de semana pasado.

Los Eagles tendrán una revancha del Super Bowl con los Chiefs el 20 de noviembre en Filadelfia, frente a las cámaras del Monday Night Football, y lo más probable es que Swift esté allí, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que creció alentando a los Eagles.

La presencia de Taylor en los partidos ha sido una bendición para los ratings televisivos. El pasado domingo, el juego de los Chiefs vs. Jets alcanzó un máximo de 29 millones de espectadores y un promedio de 27 millones durante todo el concurso. Esta es la mayor audiencia para un partido regular del Sunday Night Football, de NBC Sports.

Taylor Swift is striking fear in the hearts of NFL teams everywhere -- most recently, the alarm sounded for Philadelphia Eagles star cornerback Darius Slay ... who's publicly pleading with her to sit out their matchup later this season.

The 5-time Pro Bowler spoke out about Swift's recent attendance at Chiefs games to support Travis Kelce during his Big Play Slay podcast this week ... and he had a personal message for the "Anti-Hero" singer.

"Taylor, do not come to the game, 'cause it seems like you bring the energy of winning," Slay quipped on The Volume.

Slay has a good reason to be worried -- the Chiefs are 2-0 with Swift in the crowd, dominating the Bears in her first game in the stands ... and squeezing out a road win over the Jets this past weekend.

The Eagles will have a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs in Philadelphia on Nov. 20 in front of the Monday Night Football cameras ... and chances are Swift will be there, especially considering she grew up rooting for the Birds.

Taylor’s presence at games has been a blessing for TV ratings -- last Sunday, the Chiefs vs. Jets contest peaked at 29 million viewers and averaged 27 million throughout the contest.

The game was NBC Sports' biggest-ever streaming audience for a regular season Sunday Night Football contest.

A.J. Brown is annoyed at the NFL for making him take off his custom cleats during the Eagles' game on Monday night ... saying the league's policy regarding footwear "sucks."

The Philadelphia star didn't hold back when talking about his beef with the NFL's uniform rules with a gaggle of reporters at his locker on Friday ... saying he thinks it's BS that he couldn't wear his highlighter-green kicks during the Birds' "Monday Night Football" game against Tampa Bay.

Brown says he tried to wear the shoes so his daughter could see him more easily on TV ... but when officials told him they'd pull him from the game if he didn't remove the spikes -- he switched to black ones.

"You know," he said, "I'm trying to stay on the field."

Brown said because he complied with the rules, he avoided a $7,000 fine from the league ... but now, he wants players throughout the NFL to revolt against the policy so guys can wear whatever they want on gamedays going forward.

"I think all players should just wear whatever they want to wear," the wideout said. "They're not going to be able to fine everybody in the league. So I think we should start that movement as players."

The Swifties seemingly rushed to get their Travis Kelce merch after Taylor was spotted supporting her new potential love interest at Sunday's game ... 'cause the Kansas City Chiefs superstar's jerseys are flying off the shelves!!

TMZ Sports has learned -- Kelce's No. 87 threads were among the most popular items on the NFL Shop on Sunday ... this according to Fanatics, the league's official e-commerce partner.

"Yesterday, Travis Kelce was one of the top 5 selling NFL players and saw a nearly 400% spike in sales throughout the Fanatics network of sites, including NFLShop.com," Fanatics tells us.

While it's impossible to tell who exactly made all the purchases, the massive increase in jersey sales comes on the heels of the "Anti-Hero" singer's visit to Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Chiefs whoop the Bears, 41-10.

So, yeah, it certainly feels like Taylor's fanbase is 'shipping' the duo ... and considering how passionate her following is, it wouldn't be shocking if the Swifties emptied their wallets to secure their new favorite athlete's jerseys.

Swift seemed right at home with Chiefs Kingdom as she watched the matchup in a suite alongside Kelce's mom, Donna ... despite being a longtime Philadelphia Eagles fan.

Swift and Kelce ended up leaving the stadium together ... cruising away in his old-school convertible.

Jason Kelce is revisiting the rumors surrounding his brother's potential love story ... saying he fully believes Travis and Taylor Swift are, in fact, dating.

But, you need to calm down, Swifties -- it was clearly a joke.

The Eagles star was asked once again about recent reports of Travis and Taylor "quietly hanging out" during his appearance on Audacy's SportsRadio 94 WIP Wednesday morning ... and while he claimed he doesn't keep up with the Chiefs tight end's relationship status, he then threw fuel into the speculation fire.

"It's hard to answer because I don't really know a lot about Travis' love life," Jason said. "I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world. But, having said that, I think he's doing great and I think it's all 100% percent true."

Jason quickly followed up by couching the whole thing ... admitting he had no idea what was going on between the two, if anything at all.

Jason's comments ARE pretty interesting, though -- one would think if Travis and Taylor were really dating, he'd probably tell his bro he should've said no to talking about it, right??

Another theory -- Traylor (that's what we'd call them if they were indeed a couple) are just casual and don't really care who knows ... so Jason addressing it wouldn't really matter.

Interesting note -- Jason said he was "blindsided" by Tony Gonzalez's question on Thursday Night Football last week ... which was the first time anyone near Travis ever addressed the rumors.
