Jason Kelce addresses claims angry Taylor Swift fans forced New Heights to delete a Super Bowl tweet

Jason Kelce has admitted that the New Heights X account deleted a social media post on Super Bowl night amid claims angry Taylor Swift fans forced it to be taken down. 

When the game was finished and the Philadelphia Eagles clinched their 40-22 victory over Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, the New Heights account posted a message of congratulations.

‘Congrats to all our Birds fan 92%ers and Jason’s Eagles teammates on an incredible season,’ the caption said, with a quote from Kelce about the team and a collage of pictures, some of which were from Kelce’s 13-year career with the team.

But it was promptly deleted, with many speculation on social media that it was because angry Taylor Swift fans were unhappy that Travis was not comiserated.

However, the older Kelce brother has now clarified that it was not the reason the post was removed.

‘I had Jake (the person who runs the account) take that graphic down because that post had too many pictures of me,’ Kelce explained on X.

‘I wanted the post to be reflective of the guys who just won, not me. I didn’t win s*** in this one, it felt weird to congratulate this team with a bunch of pictures of me.’

Kelce also opened up on his mixed emotions watching the game, where his younger brother was trying to beat the team he played for throughout his 13 years in the NFL.

Kelce, along with wife Kylie, were sat in a suite with Taylor Swift even though they were supporting the Eagles on the night. 

In a separate post on X, he wrote: ‘That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest. I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during, and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago. 

‘On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, Many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career. 

‘I am very proud for Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni, and this entire team. They have persevered greatly, answered their critics amazingly, and proved themselves to be undoubtedly the best team this season. 

‘It is extremely difficult for a team in the NFL to have enough talent, coaching, fortune, and character to win a Super Bowl. The character and swagger of this Eagles team was something truly special to behold. A true representation of the toughness and grit that makes Philadelphia what it is. Well done fellas, well f***ing done. 

‘As for my brother, There isn’t a person I love or care about more. It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity.

‘He has amᴀssed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past. 

‘I know right now they are still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game.

‘But in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever.’

The Kelce brothers are expected to reflect on the Super Bowl on Wednesday’s episode of New Heights.
