00:00 Jason Kelsey is getting candid about his brother Travis Kelsey's highly publicized relationship with Taylor Swift.
00:06 In a new interview with NBC Sports' Peter King on Sunday, the Eagles player reacted to the fanfare surrounding the couple.
00:14 "It's certainly been weird, the level that it is now.
00:17 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.
00:24 But there's another end of it, where it's like, 'Man, this is a lot,'" he admitted.
00:28 Jason's comments came just hours after the "Cruel Summer" singer was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium cheering on her man and the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:37 But amid all the hype, Jason voiced some concerns.
00:40 "There's paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today, and I'm like, 'Is that really necessary information to share?'
00:48 This is another level of stardom that typically football players don't deal with.
00:52 And so on one hand, really, really happy for my brother and where he's at in his current situation with Taylor.
00:58 But on the other hand, there's some, I think, alarms sometimes with how, you know, over in pursuit people can be," he told Peter.
01:06 Travis and Taylor have been stepping out more and more together lately.
01:09 On October 14, the duo made surprise appearances on "Saturday Night Live" and walked hand-in-hand during a date night the next day.
01:17 As their love story continues to unfold, Jason told NBC how his brother is handling the recent attention, adding,
01:25 "Overall, he can deal with some of it.
01:27 As long as it's not, you know, becoming a threat to his safety and things like that."
01:31 The 35-year-old sat down with Devin McCourty on October 21 and reflected on the fascination with his family.
01:38 He also joked about who his dream podcast guest would be.
01:42 "I'm gonna keep it easy. I'm gonna, uh, I can't say Taylor Swift. Come on.
01:47 That's too obvious. Travis will kill me.
01:50 Uh, I'll go, um, I'll go my Aunt Judy."
01:55 How does Jason Kelce, the center, the farm owner, deal with the new popularity, the fame, and everything that you have going on now?
02:05 Oh, man. I'm trying not to deal with it any differently, to be honest.
02:08 I'm trying to be the same person I've always been.
02:10 Um, you know, Trav's got a whole 'nother issue.
02:13 Yeah, that's a different level.
02:14 He's got a whole 'nother level, right?
02:15 Uh, for me, um, you know, I think it's, it's, it's a little bit higher.
02:20 Uh, but I, I still try to be the same.
02:24 I've always been open, uh, authentic, um, honest.
02:30 And I think, you know, whatever you're doing in life, if you're doing that, you're gonna be pretty happy, usually.
