WATCH: Taylor Swift Was ‘Dying Laughing’ After Hearing Jason Kelce Forgot a Shirt for His “Monday Night Football” Debut

During the broadcast, Scott Van Pelt told viewers that Kelce was “wearing a shirt he got at the mall because he left his travel bag in the truck”

Taylor Swift was very amused by Jason Kelce’s recent Monday Night Football antics!

Travis Kelce revealed on the latest episode of his and Jason’s New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast that both he and his girlfriend, 34, had quite the reaction to finding out that the former Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, bought a shirt that was too small at the mall right before his Monday Night Football debut.

As the San Francisco 49ers were preparing to take on the New York Jets at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clarita, Calif. on the broadcast, Scott Van Pelt told viewers on Monday, Sept. 9 that Jason was “wearing a shirt he got at the mall because he left his travel bag in the truck.”

This prompted the former NFL player to respond, “It fits my belly now. I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but my tits are still struggling.”

On New Heights in an episode released Wednesday, Sept. 11, Travis, 34, recalled, “And, me and Taylor were watching that absolutely dying laughing at it. It was the perfect thing to open everybody up to what they were gonna experience for the next 18 weeks.”

ESPN shared the clip of Jason and Van Pelt’s exchange on Instagram following the broadcast, inviting fans of the retired Eagles player to join in on the joke — something which the Kansas City Chiefs player was only happy to do.

“Surprised he even bought a new one, and didn’t just go shirtless,” Travis commented on the post, referring to Jason cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs shirtless during a playoff game in January.

He noted his comment on the recent podcast, to which Jason replied, “I mean, Pat McAfee’s done a couple of these things shirtless. I think. [It] feels like anything goes now in the world of broadcasting.”

The retired NFL player went on to admit that he was “very nervous” for his broadcast debut. “It’s like anything you do your first time. I did not feel prepared. I felt very nervous. I didn’t know what to expect.”

“And then you realize that you were prepared, that ESPN did a great job of setting everything up, and that you’re on set, thankfully, for me with three other guys that have done it a bunch,” he added.

It’s no surprise that Swift was tuning in for Jason/’s debut, as he has also shown his support for the pop superstar and her relationship with his brother in the past. Over the summer, he and wife Kylie Kelce even attended a couple of the singer’s Eras Tour concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium.

He was videoed excitedly showing off several friendship bracelets during one of the shows and he has been vocal about which of the Grammy winner’s songs he’s been listening to the most, which included “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.”

“There’s a line in that where ‘I’m a real tough kid. I can handle my s—,’ ” he shared on the Pivot Podcast. “[My daughter] Ellie’s 3 years old and she says, ‘I’m a real tough kid. I can handle my stuff.’ That’s all I hear on a daily basis, because it gets a laugh out of me every time.”
