Jason Kelce knows that his future sister-in-law is in high demand. In a hilarious moment from his recent appearance on Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson’s Roommates Show podcast, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center responded to one of the New York Knicks star’s requests to meet Taylor Swift with a response that essentially boiled down to “You’re on your own, kid.”
In a clip from the episode posted Thursday (Sept. 25), Brunson encourages Hart to ask Kelce “the question you wanted to ask him.” When Hart can’t remember which question his teammate is referring to, Brunson tells the New Heights podcaster, “He wants to meet Taylor.”
As the show’s live audience cheers at the mention of Swift’s name, Kelce nods and says, “He wants to meet Taylor?”
The former NFL star then makes it clear that there’s nothing he can do to help Hart with his request, even if the pop star is now engaged to Jason’s younger brother, Travis Kelce. “Get in line, buddy!” Jason tells the basketball player.
The podcast episode comes about a month after Swift and Travis announced their engagement. Sharing photos in August of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end down on one knee and the 14-time Grammy winner showing off her sparkly new ring, the couple wrote on Instagram, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Shortly afterward, Jason congratulated his brother and Swift on “the proposal heard ’round the world” in a solo segment on the siblings’ New Heights podcast. Podcaster Kylie Kelce, who is married to Jason, also recently told Good Morning America that their four daughters are “thrilled” to welcome the hitmaker into their ranks.
“They’re so excited they’re getting another aunt,” Kylie said. “And we could not be more excited for them and what the future holds. We love love, and we love Taylor and Trav.”
