Philadelphia Eagles star Lane Johnson said teammate and friend Jason Kelce couldn’t be happier for brother Travis Kelce amid his romance with Taylor Swift.
Johnson — who was nominated for the Walter Peyton Man of the Year award — told Page Six at the NFL Honors Thursday that Swift got Jason’s approval after meeting her last month at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills.
“I guess from what he said [she] is very nice,” the offensive tackle, 33, told us. “A very nice woman and obviously makes Trav happy and I think that’s all he really cares about.”
Jason shared similar sentiments during the Pro Bowl last week, joking that his “brother and his love life is definitely the topic of the NFL right now.”
Lane Johnson said Jason Kelce just wants brother Travis to be “happy” amid his romance with Taylor Swift. Getty Images“My whole thing with that is as long as Trav is happy and enjoying life, I’m happy and enjoying life,” Jason said.
“I’ve been fortunate to meet Taylor now. She’s [an] awesome, down-to-earth, genuine person, which has been great to see, whenever you’re seeing anyone of that caliber of stardom still remain as grounded as they are.”
Jason, who is the father of three young daughters, also noted earlier in the weekend that Swift is the perfect “role model for all the young girls out there.”

Just hours after meeting Swift in a suite at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, Jason now-famously ripped off his shirt to celebrate a Chiefs touchdown with the opposing team’s fans.

Travis later confirmed on the brothers’ “New Heights” podcast that the 14-time Grammy winner “said she absolutely loved” Jason.
