Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have supported Jason Kelce after his shocking altercation with a football fan.

The older Kelce brother, who retired from the NFL earlier this year, was at Penn State for a college game on Saturday, Nov. 2, when the incident occurred.

As he walked through a crowd outside Beaver Stadium, a fan directed a homophobic slur at Travis and recorded him shouting, “Hey Kelce, how does it feel that your brother sucks for dating Taylor Swift?” ?”

Footage shared on social media shows Jason grabbing the phone from the fan and slamming it onto the floor.

“Who the hell is it now?” He answers, picks up the phone again and walks away with it.

While the Kelce brothers have yet to officially comment on the incident, a source close to Travis and Swift revealed their reaction.

“Taylor and Travis were both really shocked about this, considering Jason is one of the nicest guys in the world,” the source told the Daily Mail.

“It was really clear how much he loves and respects Taylor. Travis means the world to him.”

“Using the word 'f*****' is not okay for him or anyone else. This fan has crossed the line. Jason will never tolerate anyone insulting his family and he now considers Taylor family.”

After the footage was shared on social media, Jason also received support for his reaction.

“I shouldn’t say that, but whatever. “I appreciate Jason Kelce standing up for his family,” Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas wrote on X.

Meanwhile, former NFL fullback Antonio Brown wrote: “I mean, good for Jason Kelce. There is comedy and entertainment. And then there is the boundary with the family.”

Hundreds of other fans also expressed their support for X and reacted to the video.

Jason has previously spoken about being a huge fan of Swift, describing her as “immensely talented.”

“She is a global star, she is currently the number one artist in the world,” he said back in February.

“(She is) incredibly talented, an incredible role model for young women around the world.”

“I think the NFL would probably be stupid not to show her and be a role model for all the young girls out there.”

Jason's next public appearance is expected on Monday night when he travels to Kansas City to call Travis in the Chiefs' NFL action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on ESPN.
