Travis Kelce At Taylor Swift Concert After Jason Kelce's Gay Slur Controversy
By Kelly Coffey-Behrens on November 3, 2024 at 9:30 AM EST
Travis Kelce spent his Saturday night supporting his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, at her concert in Indianapolis.
The outing came just hours after his brother, Jason Kelce, made headlines for a confrontational moment at an Ohio State vs. Penn State game, where he stood up against a fan’s offensive remarks directed at Travis.
As The Blast reported, the former Eagles star and now-commentator was spotted at the game in Happy Valley, initially engaging with fans who were excited to see him. However, the atmosphere took a harsh turn when a bystander used a homophobic slur targeting Jason’s younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in reference to his relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift.
Later that evening, Travis Kelce seemed unfazed by the day’s events as he made an appearance at Taylor Swift's concert.

I love this.
Jason Kelce just took a stand for normal men against the “idiots who have become way too comfortable saying ridiculous shit to people who can actually kick their ass” crowd.

In footage circulating online, Jason Kelce, who was walking in a crowd outside of Beaver Stadium on Penn State’s campus for ESPN’s “College GameDay” coverage, can be seen halting abruptly, visibly shaken by anger, as he confronts a nearby man in the crowd.
It was later revealed that a bystander made a homophobic comment about Travis, which ignited Jason’s temper, leading to a heated exchange that was captured on video.
“Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is a f-ggot for dating Taylor Swift?” the heckler asked.

In the footage, Jason is seen confronting the fan directly, then grabbing the fan’s phone and hurling it to the ground, where it shatters completely. The intense moment left onlookers stunned as Jason walked away, visibly frustrated by the incident.
Hours later, Travis Kelce was spotted supporting his girlfriend at her Eras Tour.

Channeling a “Reputation” vibe, the 35-year-old athlete sported an all-black outfit, complete with a silver necklace and a black and white cap. Social media buzzed as fans shared photos and videos of Travis enjoying the concert in the VIP section alongside his friend Ross Travis.
To no surprise, Taylor once again changed the lyrics of her song "Karma" to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me," referring to her boyfriend, who she has been dating for over one year now.
The star-studded area also included Taylor’s mother, Andrea Swift, and NSYNC’s Joey Fatone.
WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark was also spotted in the crowd.

As Taylor performed for her fans, Travis was seen singing and dancing, clearly savoring the experience despite the earlier controversy. His presence at the concert was a reminder of the strong support he shares with Taylor, and fans couldn’t help but admire his resilience amid the weekend’s drama.
Lucas Oil Stadium is approximately a 90-minute flight from Arrowhead Stadium, where Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs are set to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
It remains unclear if Taylor Swift will attend the primetime game, as she concludes the U.S. leg of her tour on Sunday before heading to Canada for nine shows starting November 14.

Another angle of the incident reveals the fan demanding his phone back after the tense exchange.
In the video, Jason Kelce can be heard firing back, saying, “Who’s the f-ggot now?” The retired Philadelphia Eagles legend then turns around, confronts the heckler head-on, snatches the phone from his hand, and forcefully slams it to the ground, apparently destroying the device in a single move.
Campus police informed Page Six that no incident report had been filed regarding the confrontation, and they had no additional information on the matter at this time.
