Former football star Jason Kelce understands how difficult it can be to catch some shut-eye!

The ESPN analyst understandably juggles a busy schedule of podcast hosting and parenting, so it would make sense if the former Philadelphia Eagle needed a moment to rest while out with his family in Miami last night.

However, the Kelce family happened to be taking in a monumental event: the return of Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour!'

The "Lavender Haze" singer was letting the games begin after a brief hiatus off stage before the final shows of the nearly two-year-long tour, and her former NFL player pal was spotted in the audience supporting her. Kelce was also seen with his eyes closed at one point, and the sleepy moment was captured and posted to social media!

Jason Kelce And His Brother Have Been Getting Closer To Taylor Swift

The Kelce brothers brought out the popcorn during this week's episode of their podcast, "New Heights," and their fan-selected film had important meaning to Travis; it features one of his girlfriend's closest pals!

The guys watched the first film in the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" series. Based on a young adult book series, the two films explore a vital friendship between young women who have been close since before birth. The star-studded cast features actresses who would go on to be activists (Amber Tamblyn), Oscar nominees (America Fererra), and big-screen favorites (Blake Lively).

The first film was exciting for the Kansas City Chief; he was thrilled to see Lively in her first major film role.

"Dude, you're going to love this movie," Travis told his brother. The eldest Kelce was a bit more reserved, joking about 'Swifties' having a giant influence in the final choice in their film poll, but he ended up enjoying the film very much, according to People.

Lively played Bridget Vreeland in the two films. Bridget is a free-spirit, fueled by life's unknowns and excitement. She is also an athlete, spending the first film at a soccer camp in Mexico.

After the Kelce brothers discussed their thoughts on the film, Lively weighed in yesterday on her Instagram story. The "It Ends With Us" actress answered Jason's questions about the exact place the 'traveling pants' have in the story.

In her post, Lively wrote, "Author @annbrashares shared with us while making the movie that she actually added the pants after the book was written because she was given the note to add a 'magical element.' Mind you, this was when Harry Potter hit, so everyone was looking for magic in youth books. She used the pants as a tangible item to illustrate the sometimes inexplicable magic of the female bond. One that invisibly connects us near and far..."

She also joked, "@jason.kelce being a natural investigative journalist sniffing out the hidden truth."

Following reports that Travis and his lady had been on the verge of breaking up, the new ESPN commentator took some time to acknowledge Swift as she walked into Arrowhead Stadium.
