A Viral Incident with Mixed Reactions
Jason Kelce made headlines over the weekend for an outburst that saw him smashing a Pennsylvania State University student’s phone after the student insulted his brother, Travis, for dating Swift.
Responding in frustration, Jason reportedly threw the phone to the ground and said, “Who’s the f—-t now?” Reflecting on the incident later, he admitted, “I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that that’s a productive thing.” Jason expressed regret over the moment, calling it “heated” and saying he wasn’t “proud of it.”

During Monday’s game at Arrowhead Stadium, Jason shared a heartfelt moment with Swift, sparking a new wave of fan reactions. A Swiftie posted a video of Jason hugging Swift, with one fan humorously claiming, “Jason Kelce and Taylor Swift[‘s] hug healed my mental problems.”
In another touching moment, Jason was seen leaning down to hug Swift’s mother, Andrea, who reportedly said something encouraging about the viral incident.
