Jason Kelce stole the limelight from Taylor Swift as he celebrated his brother Travis’ win with shirtless beer-chugging at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night.
The rowdy Philadelphia Eagles player, who teased his retirement last week, even showed up to a Buffalo Bills tailgate before the intense playoff game – as he downed drinks in front of whooping fans in a parking lot.
When he got into the VIP suite with Taylor Swift, he took off his shirt and continued downing beers as the Kansas City Chiefs racked up points on the scoreboard.
Before long, shirtless Jason Kelce was storming through the window of the luxury VIP suite, pounding his chest, and screaming at the top of his lungs.
His euphoric strip-down and celebration – despite the freezing 20 degree January weather – continued after Travis scored a sensational 22-yard touchdown.
Thousands of Bills fans were left stunned when Jason, 36, suddenly jumped down into their section – Bud Light in hand – to resume his half-naked celebrations.

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, is seen celebrating in the VIP suite. Cameras have become accustomed to panning on popstar Taylor in the months since she confirmed her new relationship with the Tight End
The dad-of-three chugged his drink before hoisting himself up to the suite again.
All the while, Kylie Kelce remained unfazed by her husband’s behavior. His mom Donna erupted in laughter, and was seen pointing at Jason going wild.
Cameras have become accustomed to panning on popstar Taylor in the months since she confirmed her new relationship with the Tight End – but all eyes were on Travis’ brother on Sunday, whose team was kicked out of the play offs last week.
After the Chiefs’ victory against the Bills, Jason wrote on social media: ‘Buffalo is awesome, the energy is contagious. Such an incredible experience!!’
He attached a screenshot of his phone, where he’d received a text from his mother that read: ‘Ellie [his daughter] said dad’s boobs are showing!’
Taylor Swift was joined by Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce, Brittany Mahomes, Cara Delevingne, and Ashley Avignone in the suite – who cheered together and posed for photos after the Chiefs’ thrilling win.
Swift appeared to stay out of the way of Jason and his wild celebrations – instead living every twist and turn alongside Brittany, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick who she appears to have struck up a close bond with in recent weeks.
After Travis scored his first touchdown of the game – his first in eight games – he was seen holding his hands in a heart sign in the direction of his girlfriend and family.
Kelce’s team won 27-24 in an all-time thrilling playoff matchup on from Highmark Stadium. The Chiefs are now just one game away from the Super Bowl.
Jason Kelce’s stunt in the VIP box, however, did not go down well with all NFL fans – as some pointed out that he may have been trying to outshine Taylor.
This was also the first time Jason and his brother’s girlfriend were seen publicly together – since until now, Jason is often busy with his own football commitments.
Taylor and Jason shared a few sweet moments of mutual support together, high-fiving each other as they beamed cheek-to-cheek.

After watching Jason celebrate shirtless, one person on social media wrote: ‘Looks like he needed some spotlight.’
Another complained: ‘Just shows the rules don’t apply to the rich entitled people. If the average Joe would have done that they would have been either arrested or kicked out.
‘Rich people disgust me. Or better yet had the average Joe got close to those windows yap arrested.’
A third person online said: ‘I wonder how the Taylor Swift fans feel about Jason Kelce stealing the spotlight in Buffalo.’
And another added: ‘No one takes the NFL’s spotlight from Taylor Swift. *Jason Kelce has entered the chat*’
One person online complained: ‘Dude, put your shirt back on….’
And another added: ‘Making an a** of himself, of course under the influence. He sure wants attention.’
Many other fans, however, recognized that Jason was just having a well-earned night off, supporting his brother, after a long season with the Eagles.
The Chiefs shared the video of Eagles man Jason’s celebration, calling him: ‘No 1 hype man.’
And the NFL shared a picture of Jason screaming with the caption: ‘WE HAVE REACHED PEAK JASON KELCE.’

Others on social media wrote: ‘The Kelce family sure does love attention. They’ll both end up in Hollywood after football, no doubt.’
As a joke, one person suggested what should happen at the Super Bowl: ‘I’m sorry, but the only sensible Super Bowl halftime show is Taylor Swift singing while Jason Kelce dances shirtless.’
Talking after the game, Travis Kelce reveled in his brother’s outlandish acts.
He told CBS Sports: ‘My brother was shirtless? Nah, it doesn’t surprise me one bit.
‘I love that guy, and every time we’re not on the field together, we’re always rooting for each other.’
This comes after Taylor Swift was met with sour, booing crowds as she made her way to support her boyfriend Travis during the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game.
Swift was seen entering the Buffalo Bills’ stadium wearing a red beanie amid the wintery weather – but instead of cheers, she was greeted by boos from the crowd.
After making her way inside, she was seen with Travis Kelce’s brother Jason and their dad, Ed Kelce. The trio were spotted in the VIP suite.
The boos were not only heard outside the stadium, but fans apparently showed their distain as TV coverage panned to Taylor on screens in bars across New York.
One person wrote online: ‘The vitriolic shower of boos when Taylor Swift was shown on the screen for the first time… truly filled my heart.’
Another person, watching the game at a bar, wrote: ‘The whole bar boo’d once they showed Taylor Swift lmaooo.’
The tight end appeared to blow a kiss towards his loved ones cheering him on

Another commented: ‘This game might be the only time a bar in Hell’s Kitchen has had everyone boo at taylor swift.’ Hell’s Kitchen is an area in New York City known for its gay nightlife and bars.
Taylor has been attending the Chief’s games since September 24, before confirming her relationship with the team’s Tight End towards the end of 2023.
Landing in her private jet around 4pm on Sunday, Swift was met on the tarmac by a cavalcade of SUVs, a sprinter van and a police escort. She was then soon pictured arriving at Highmark Stadium in a red hat and a white jacket for the game.
While temperatures dropped below 20 degrees for the game on Sunday night, it was nothing compared to the blistering -4 temperature in Kansas City last weekend, when Taylor cheered the Chiefs to victory against the Miami Dolphins.
Exclusive DailyMail.com pictures earlier on Sunday showed Travis’s older brother Jason touching down in Buffalo alongside his wife, Kylie, and their parents Donna and Ed for the game.

She landed shortly after Travis was pictured arriving at Highmark Stadium with his Chiefs team for the big game.
The 34-year-old tight end was wearing a mustard suit and red woolly hat as his made his way into the stadium for his team’s must-win game.
At a Chiefs press conference on Friday previewing the Bills game, Travis said how excited he is to line up against the hardcore Bills fans.
‘It’s Bills Mafia, man. That’s their home-field advantage. I’m sure the guys love playing for that fan base,’ he told reporters back in Kansas City.
‘I grew up in Cleveland man. They were throwing beer bottles at people. Buffalo, cold, playoff game, doesn’t get any better baby.’
The Bills got their Divisional round rematch against the Chiefs two seasons after their epic overtime clash that prompted the NFL to change its overtime rules.
Kansas City and Buffalo scored 25 combined points and had four lead changes in the final two minutes of regulation during the 2022 contest, leading to overtime.
The Chiefs won the coin toss and promptly scored the game-winning touchdown, thereby denying the Bills the ball in the extra frame. Now, both teams must get an offensive possession in overtime at the end of an NFL postseason game.
The Bills had won the last two meetings between the teams, while Kansas City hasn’t beaten Buffalo in regulation in the last four meetings.
Oddly enough, the last five meetings between the teams had all taken place at Arrowhead Stadium before Sunday’s clash. The Chiefs hadn’t played in Buffalo since 2020.
The Chiefs will now go on the road to face the Ravens for the AFC Championship next Sunday at 3 p.m. from M&T Bank Stadium. Baltimore did not face Kansas City in the regular season.
The Chiefs have not faced the Ravens since 2010, meaning likely league MVP and Patrick Mahomes have never faced in the postseason.
