At the start of the Sept. 11 episode of New Heights, both siblings wished their girl luck at this year’s ceremony in light of the VMAs sponsoring part of the podcast episode posted the same day of the awards. “Hopefully Taylor can walk away with a few [awards],” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said. “She’s nominated for about 10 of those things tonight.”

Actually, Swift is nominated for 12 prizes — more than any other artist — at the Sept. 11 award show, which kicks off 8 p.m. ET at the UBS Arena in New York. In addition to artist of the year and best pop, the 14-time Grammy winner’s “Fortnight” music video featuring Post Malone is also up for best collaboration, video and song of the year.

After shouting out Swift on the podcast, both Travis and the retired Philadelphia Eagles center went into coaching mode. “Let’s go, Tay! Come on, Tay!” Jason cheered, while his younger brother clapped his hands.

“Stay on top,” Travis added to his girlfriend. “Wishing everybody the best, though.”

“Unless you’re up against Tay, then I hope lose,” Jason quipped in response, making the tight end laugh.

The Kelces had a lot of ground to cover on the new episode, from Travis’ first Chiefs game of the 2024-25 NFL season — which his team won with Swift watching from a suite at Arrowhead Stadium — to Jason’s wardrobe snafu on his Monday Night Countdown debut. Basically, the elder brother wore a shirt that was slightly too small during his first broadcast on the ESPN show and quipped on the air, “It fits my belly now … I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but my tits are still struggling.”

“Me and Taylor were watching that, absolutely dying laughing at it,” Travis told Jason on the show.

Plus, the Grotesquerie star had to dish on his time at the U.S. Open on Sunday (Sept. 8), which he attended alongside Swift and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. While there, Travis and the “Anti-Hero” singer packed on the PDA and passionately sang along to The Darkness’ “I Believe in a Thing Called Love,” but when tennis was actually being played, No. 87 said it was hard to keep quiet.

“It’s very quiet, and you know us — when it’s very quiet, we want to say something,” he told Jason on New Heights. “The entire time I wanted to heckle the Italian Sinner, the No. 1 player in the world.”

“But I played it cool, I played it respectful,” he added, noting that he only let loose during the intermissions when music came on over the speakers. “That was about the only time I was really showing my personality.”
