During the holiday season, NFL star Travis Kelce experienced a festive treat reminiscent of a Swift family celebration. On a special holiday-themed episode of the New Heights podcast featuring Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, listeners got an inside look at their Christmas festivities, complete with appearances from various Kelce family members.
The episode took an interesting turn when the focus shifted to a surprise Christmas gift from none other than Austin Swift, the brother of pop sensation Taylor Swift. Austin, alongside his famous sister and parents Andrea and Scott Swift, attended Travis' Christmas Day game at Arrowhead Stadium. Adding to the holiday cheer, the 31-year-old actor donned a Santa Claus outfit for the occasion.
Kylie Kelce, Jason's wife, joined the podcast as a guest, highlighting Austin's game day attire. When discussing who took their holiday celebrations to new heights, Kylie amusingly credited the individual behind the Santa suit – Austin Swift. Travis enthusiastically chimed in, acknowledging Austin's contribution to the festive spirit.
Kylie praised Austin's dedication to the festive outfit, remarking, "That was a complete commitment, and I admire that." Travis then shared the Christmas surprise Austin had prepared for him, expressing his genuine excitement. He revealed that Austin presented him with a VHS copy of his all-time favorite football movie, "Little Giants," straight out of Santa's bag.
The 1994 sports film features Rick Moranis and Ed O'Neill as rival football team coaches.
Following the game, Travis spent Christmas with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and her family. The Swifts continued their celebrations in Kansas City, spending time with Travis and his father, Ed Kelce. Unfortunately, despite the festive atmosphere, the Chiefs suffered a 14-20 loss at Arrowhead Stadium.
Elsewhere, Travis' mother, Donna Kelce, cheered on Jason as he played for the Philadelphia Eagles against the New York Giants. This Christmas marked the couple's first holiday together since beginning their relationship in the summer. Taylor has been a regular attendee at Travis' recent games, often bringing along members of her family and engaging with Travis' parents in their private box.
