STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce reportedly smashed a fan’s phone at a Penn State football game on Saturday after the individual directed a homophobic slur toward his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in connection with his high-profile relationship with singer Taylor Swift.
At the time, Kelce was carrying a half-empty case of beer. It is not known how inebriated he was at the time of the incident.
The incident occurred as Kelce attended the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State game at Beaver Stadium. According to witnesses, a fan approached Kelce and made an offensive remark, asking, “Kelce! How does it feel that your brother’s a [slur] dating Taylor Swift?”
In response, Jason Kelce turned around, took the fan’s phone, and smashed it on the ground. Witnesses report that Kelce replied with a heated comment before walking away.
The interaction, which has since circulated widely on social media, has sparked a mixed response from fans and commentators. Some have criticized the fan’s language as inappropriate and offensive, while others have debated Kelce’s reaction and whether it was justified.
Neither Jason Kelce nor his representatives have made a public statement regarding the incident. The Philadelphia Eagles and the NFL have also not commented on the altercation, and it remains unclear if any formal complaints were filed.
The Kelce brothers have both attracted considerable public attention in recent months, particularly due to Travis Kelce’s relationship with Swift, which has been widely covered by the media and has brought a surge of new fans to NFL games. The increased visibility has also led to heightened scrutiny and, in some cases, negative reactions from certain fans.
The incident highlights the challenges public figures face when dealing with intrusive or offensive behavior from fans, as well as the tensions that can arise when personal lives intersect with public life on such a visible scale. It remains to be seen if any further action will be taken regarding the altercation.
