Philadelphia Eagles fans were stunned to see a viral photo of former center Jason Kelce seemingly dozing off at a Taylor Swift concert in Miami. The image quickly spread across social media, sparking speculation about Kelce’s concert behavior.
On a recent episode of New Heights, Kelce took the opportunity to set the record straight. The football star adamantly denied that he had fallen asleep at the show, citing his active engagement during the performance.
In a passionate defense, Kelce recounted the events of the evening, emphasizing that he was fully present and enjoying the concert experience. He explained, “Travis, you know I didn’t take a nap. Back to this photo, I’m gonna give a little background to this. We brought a bunch of people to the show, Mom went for the first time, and we’re trying to figure out—we’ll get a box, we’ll make it happen so that everybody can come to the show… So I’m like, okay, I’m gonna sit down, I’m just like sitting here and I’m just like feeling it, and I’m tapping my thigh in the moment, and then all of a sudden I go on Twitter and I see this f—ing picture.”
Kelce went on to point out a key detail in the photo that he believed exonerated him from the accusations of napping. He confidently stated, “If you zoom in on my right hand, my hand is hovering. You can’t sleep with your hand hovering above your knee. It’s impossible!”
Despite Kelce’s convincing defense, the photo continues to circulate online, provoking a mix of amusement and disbelief among fans and followers. Only time will tell if this unexpected controversy will have any lasting impact on Kelce’s reputation off the field.
