Jason Kelce Thanks Taylor Swift and Says the “Sky Is Definitely Opalite” in Kansas City After She Watched the Chiefs’ Big Win
Jason Kelce is showing nothing but love — and a little humor — for his brother’s fiancée, Taylor Swift, after another Kansas City Chiefs victory. Following the team’s 31-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on October 19, the Philadelphia Eagles star gave a special shout-out to the Grammy-winning superstar during the latest episode of his and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast. The gesture was pure Jason: equal parts heartfelt, teasing, and just the right amount of poetic. “The sky is definitely opalite in Kansas City right now,” he said, referencing one of Taylor’s favorite gemstones and subtly nodding to the joy she’s brought into their family.
Taylor was spotted in the stands during the game, cheering on her fiancé with her usual mix of quiet focus and infectious energy. Dressed in Chiefs red, she celebrated every big play, and when the game wrapped with a decisive win, she joined Travis on the field for hugs, photos, and plenty of smiles. For fans of both the Chiefs and Swift, it was another sweet chapter in what’s become one of pop culture’s most-watched love stories — a mix of touchdowns and tenderness, sportsmanship and stardom.
On the podcast, Jason’s tone was warm and genuine as he talked about the atmosphere around the team since Taylor started attending games. “There’s just good energy, man,” he said. “You can feel it — the city’s buzzing, the guys are motivated, and it’s fun to see.” Travis, always one to play it cool when it comes to their relationship, smiled and laughed as Jason continued to joke that “everything feels lighter when she’s in town.” Fans immediately picked up on the moment, flooding social media with clips from the episode and heart emojis by the thousands.
Jason and Taylor’s friendship has become one of the more endearing subplots of the Kelce-Swift connection. From the start, Jason has been the supportive big brother, poking fun but also publicly showing respect for the woman who makes his brother happy. Earlier this year, he called her “awesome” and praised how grounded she is despite her global fame. “She’s genuine,” he said. “You can see it in how she treats people — from fans to family.” The admiration clearly goes both ways; Taylor has often been seen chatting with Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, in the family suite at games, sharing laughs and hugs like old friends.
The phrase “sky is opalite,” which Jason used in his podcast, quickly took off online, with Swifties dissecting its meaning. Opalite, a luminous stone associated with emotional healing and harmony, seemed fitting given the peace and positivity that’s surrounded both Travis and Taylor this season. One fan tweeted, “Jason Kelce speaking in Swiftie metaphors is my new favorite thing,” while another wrote, “Even the sky’s got a glow when Taylor’s around.”
It’s moments like these that have made fans adore the Kelce brothers even more — two athletes known for their toughness on the field and their humor off of it, now embracing one of the world’s biggest pop stars as part of their extended family. The mix of sports and music, of locker-room banter and lyrical references, has created something unexpectedly wholesome and fun.
As the Chiefs continue their push toward another championship run, Taylor’s presence remains a lucky charm — but also a symbol of balance and joy in Travis’s life. For Jason, watching his brother thrive both personally and professionally has been emotional. “He’s happy,” Jason said during the podcast. “That’s what matters most.” And while his jokes about the “opalite sky” might have been playful, the gratitude behind them was real.
In a world where celebrity relationships often feel overexposed or insincere, the Kelce-Swift story — bolstered by Jason’s good-natured commentary — continues to feel genuine and heartwarming. A big win for the Chiefs, a bigger one for family, and, as Jason perfectly put it, skies over Kansas City that glow just a little brighter.
