Jason Kelce revealed on Monday that his brother Travis was forced to move out of his house after he began dating Taylor Swift because her fans wouldn’t leave him alone.
During an appearance on The Big Podcast with Shaq, Jason was asked if he knew what fame was before Taylor Swift entered his family’s life – only the question only got about halfway out before Jason jumped in with a “no.”
“It’s crazy what it opens up opportunity-wise,” he explained. “It’s crazy to feel how much joy you bring people or how much you affect people’s daily lives.
“It’s also incredibly, it has drawbacks, for sure. And Travis knows way more more than I. He had to completely move out of his house.
“People were just staying by his house. I mean, safety reasons,” Jason continued.
“And the first day he moved into the new house … a gated community somebody knocks on the back window of the house.”
Jason Kelce then explained that he and his friends and family are still trying to figure out how to deal with Travis now dating one of the most recognizable people on the entire planet.
“We’re still learning,” he said. “I mean, so listen, we’ve always been big in the football world, right? Travis especially. The Taylor world and the pop culture world, that’s a whole different level. You’re in a different, it’s just an added level of, it’s a new demographic that wasn’t there before.”
Shaquille O’Neal, who is also one of the most recognizable people on the entire planet, then offered Jason some advice.
“The key is to stay righteous,” said Shaq. “Like for example, people take pictures of me all the time. They ain’t doing s—, right?
“So a lot of times they take the pictures because one, they’re trying to up their Instagram or whatever, they’re trying to sell a story, like, so just I’ve been watching your brother a long time. I can tell you all are some good wholesome people.
“Just tell him try not to … always keep your head on the swivel now, cuz you know, be some crazy, but don’t like, if you’re not doing nothing there’s nothing to hide.”
