Jason Kelce explains why he couldn’t have been sleeping at Taylor Swift’s concert, despite viral pic
Jason Kelce is wide awake when it comes to the rumor that he fell asleep while taking in Taylor Swift’s recent “Eras Tour” concert at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Oct. 18.
Kelce turned out to see brother Travis’ girlfriend, alongside their mother, Donna, his wife, Kylie, and their kids, but the focus quickly centered on him when a photo on X appeared to capture Jason catching some z’s in his seat, while everyone else was standing on their feet.
“Kylie is holding (daughter) Elliotte,” Jason Kelce said on the Oct. 23 episode of his “New Heights” podcast that he hosts with his brother.
“Ellie was just with me. We were dancing and I was sitting down, so I’m on the same level with her and I’m trying not to — we’re out here in the middle of the open right here. We brought a bunch of people to the show because a bunch of people had been asking us, ‘Hey, when are you going to the Taylor Swift shows?’ And Mom went for the first time.”
Kelce, who said “the amount of energy was insane” at the show, quickly discovered that he was easy to spot and that he got into the spirit of the show.
“We go out there and I realize I’m in the middle of the open,” he said. “It isn’t like a box that I can close. … I feel like I’m standing, I’m holding Ellie, I feel like kind of in a fish bowl. Everybody’s staring at me.

“So I just sit down. I’m dancing with Ellie. Ellie goes over to Kylie. And then I’m just sitting here, and I’m just feeling it, and I’m like, ‘Oh!’ I’m tapping my thigh and I’m just in the moment, listening to the song. And, then, all of a sudden, I go on Twitter, and I see this f—— picture. And I’m like, ‘What the f—?’ I’m not even sleeping, and I can prove it to you. There’s evidence in this photo that I’m not sleeping.”
Kelce then added that the caption for the photo did not mention he was sleeping and then explained how he can prove he was awake by zooming in on his right hand.
“My hand is hovering. You can’t sleep with your hand hovering above your knee,” he said. “It’s impossible, (without) major pain. I can’t sleep with my eyes open, much less my hand hovering. That’s because I’m slapping my legs.”
“This is one of my favorite parts about the show, ‘cause the mist of the rain had just started to get into my face. Elliotte was with Mom so I’m like, OK, I’m just sitting here and tapping my leg and I’m just in the moment.”
Travis wasn’t at the show to catch the controversial snooze — if that’s even what it was — which disappointed him.
“I had all the FOMO in the world, with the entire family and a lot of our friends being there,” he said.
