THE RUNDOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have stayed out of the public eye this week, but Travis\u2019s brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, have spoken on podcasts about Swift joining the family.<\/p>\n On July 21, Jason joined the Ross Tucker Football Podcast<\/em><\/a>, where he opened up about how Swift dating Travis and ultimately marrying him changed his family\u2019s life. While he had fans before Swift, he and his family received much more attention from people outside of their typical football-fan demographic.<\/p>\n Jason spoke about having a bodyguard now, saying, \u201cI forget what rapper it was, but you end up getting a bodyguard, not so much to protect you but to protect you from doing something stupid. And I think that having a Dutch around diffuses a lot of situations sometimes from getting to a level that\u2019s not good. And luckily, we really haven\u2019t had anything pop up. The vast majority of people are awesome. They\u2019re super nice. They\u2019re either fans of you or fans of the game or whatever event we\u2019re at. So I never thought I would [have a bodyguard]. But it\u2019s good to have a travel buddy.\u201d<\/p>\n Host Ross Tucker asked if fame was gradual for him. The former Philadelphia Eagles player explained, \u201cIt was definitely gradual and then it just was like a very big flip obviously when Taylor and Travis started dating, and that led to a whole\u2014another demographic and fan base being interested in not just me but our entire family. And I went from very much being dominated by large fat men coming up to me and shaking my hand and thanking me for being an Eagle, to little girls. It was quite a shift of people that became fans.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to Swift and his podcast with Travis Kelce, New Heights<\/em>, \u201cI had a really good fan base in Philadelphia,\u201d he said, adding that going to the Super Bowl and his 2018 Super Bowl parade speech<\/a> increased his fan base.<\/p>\n \u201c[And] obviously when Taylor got on board, that\u2019s when it shifted to like, oh, now we\u2019re in a whole different category,\u201d he continued. \u201cNow there\u2019s people that pretty much dominate\u2014they\u2019re music fans, and now all of a sudden they\u2019re coming into the football world or interested in the family because of that. So it\u2019s definitely been gradual but at the same time, pretty intense the last two or three years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
