In a surprising turn of events, Scott Swift, Taylor Swift's dad and a longtime Philadelphia Eagles fan, found himself at the center of playful banter after donning a vintage Kansas City Chiefs sweater during Sunday's game. The Eagles' center, Jason Kelce, jokingly called out the 71-year-old on the "New Heights" podcast, playfully suggesting that green may be better suited to Scott's complexion. Despite supporting the "wrong team" according to Jason, the Eagles player couldn't deny that the Chiefs sweater looked good on Scott.

During the podcast episode, Jason Kelce admitted, "It's a nice sweater. I'm not gonna lie." Travis Kelce, brother of Jason and tight end for the Chiefs, joined in on the banter, praising Taylor Swift's dad for proudly sporting his team's gear at Gillette Stadium. Travis even remarked, "It's kind of looking real nice on him.... He's rocking it. And he seems to be enjoying himself."

The spotlight was not only on Scott Swift's attire, but Taylor Swift also made a notable appearance with her own fashion choice. She paired a gray sweater with a custom white beanie, showcasing her support for Travis Kelce by having his jersey number, 87, stitched onto the brim.

Taylor's presence at the game did not go unnoticed, as she garnered attention from Patriots fans who booed her. However, Travis shrugged off the negativity, noting that the majority of the crowd was still cheering for the Grammy winner. He stated, "Just shows you how amazing that girl is. They went absolutely insane when they showed Taylor on the screen."

The couple's relationship has been public since September, and Taylor has been a regular attendee at Travis' games, often seen sitting with his parents in the stands. Travis and Jason have previously joked about the intimidating prospect of their dad, Ed Kelce, engaging in conversations with Taylor. However, in a previous interview, Ed described her as "very sweet, very charming, and down-to-earth."

The playful banter between Jason Kelce and Scott Swift exemplifies the lighthearted nature of sports fandom, proving that even family ties and celebrity status can't shield one from some good-natured ribbing. As Taylor Swift continues to support Travis Kelce and embrace his football world, their relationship continues to capture attention from fans and media alike.
