Jason Kelce weighs on Travis Kelce's 'another level of stardom' amid Taylor Swift romance 

Kelce's older brother, Philadelphia Eagles star Jason, appeared in an interview with NBC Sports' Peter King and discussed about his younger sibling's next level stardom amid his romance with Swift. 

"It's certainly been weird, the level that it is now. On one hand, I'm happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he's excited about, that he is genuine about. But there's another end of it where it's like, 'Man, this is a lot,'" Jason shared.

"There's paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I'm like, 'Is that really necessary information to share?'" he said.

"This is another level of stardom that typically football players don't deal with. And so on one hand, really, really happy for my brother and where he's at in his current situation with Taylor but on the other hand, there's some, I think, alarms sometimes with how you know, over-in-pursuit people can be," Jason explained.
