Jason Kelce’s Taylor Swift reference to brother Travis Kelce has taken off online.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center took to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday to weigh in on Travis Kelce investing in a horse that shares part of its name with the Kansas City Chiefs star’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
BloodHorse’s X account shared a message that read: “Super Bowl-winning tight end @tkelce of the @Chiefs has acquired a share of a @TeamValor 3-year-old Thoroughbred fittingly named #SwiftDelivery.”
They tagged the NFL as well New Heights, the podcast Jason and Travis Kelce co-host together.

In response, Jason Kelce said: “But does it have an enlarged heart…. Can this horse do it with a broken heart! @tkelce.”
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” is a Swift song from her 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department.
Newsweek reached out to Travis Kelce’s publicist via email for comment.
At the time of publication, his post had racked up more than 1.2 million views and over 300 comments.
In the replies, fans praised the dad of three—who shares daughters Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett with wife Kylie Kelce—for his clever note.
“Jason, you continue to prove yourself as a true Swiftie 🫶,” @KelleeMood wrote.
“president of tayvis nation ☝️,” @thegretwar said.
“Jason 🤣😭 you make my day with your tweets 🤣🤣,” @InJDWeStan added, while @shahadmajili chimed in: “Oh Jason you’re adorable!!!!
In a press release, Barry Irwin—founder and CEO of Team Valor International—announced on Tuesday that Travis Kelce, as well as Phantom Fireworks owners the Zoldan family, “acquired a significant share of Team Valor’s interest in the 3-year-old gelding Swift Delivery.”
In an interview with The Associated Press, Irwin spoke out about Travis Kelce.
“It’s very exciting. I met him at the Kentucky Derby and got to spend some time with him and stuff, and we talked about horses and everything,” Irwin said. “When this horse came to light and it was owned by one of my partners already, with the name I figured this has got to be a no-brainer.”
Travis Kelce previously talked about the Kentucky Derby during the May 8 episode of New Heights, noting he was “a nose away” from winning $100,000 at the sporting event.
“I was a beginner. I didn’t get too far into that,” the Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? host said at the time. “I just wanted to f****** put the money that I brought in there and throw it down on like one horse and just get f****** pumped if that thing was even close. And sure enough, coming around that corner, you see that thing…come up.”
Travis and Swift first sparked dating rumors in July 2023 when the NFL star attended her Eras Tour show in Missouri and she was later spotted at several of his football games. The couple confirmed their romance in October during a Saturday Night Live after-party.
