Jason Kelce shocks fans by smashing phone after offensive remark about Travis and Taylor Swift
Former NFL star Jason Kelce recently drew attention at Penn State after a confrontation with a fan who used a homophobic slur referencing Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce, and his high-profile relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. The altercation took place just before the Penn State-Ohio State game at Beaver Stadium, where Jason was attending as part of a College GameDay event.
Footage from the incident shows Jason walking through a crowd of fans when one individual loudly made a derogatory comment about Travis. The fan was heard asking, “How does it feel that your brother is a f****t for dating Taylor Swift?” Jason, visibly reacting to the insult, grabbed the individual’s phone and threw it to the ground.

In follow-up videos, Jason is seen picking up the phone after slamming it, while the fan demands it back. Jason reportedly responded, “Who’s the fa— now?” sparking further debate online about the incident.Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship has been a hot topic for over a year, with Swift frequently attending Kansas City Chiefs games in support of Travis. In February, she even attended Super Bowl 58. The couple also made headlines when Travis appeared on stage with Swift during her Eras Tour stop at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Jason Kelce, who retired in March after a 13-season career with the Philadelphia Eagles, has since focused on sports commentary and events. However, this incident adds a new dimension to his public appearances, especially with the media coverage surrounding his brother’s relationship with one of the world’s biggest pop stars.
