Kylie Kelce Lauds Taylor Swift’s Work Ethic: “The Drive is Incredible”
In a delightful exchange on her podcast “Not Gonna Lie,” Kylie Kelce, the wife of NFL star Jason Kelce, offered high praise for pop sensation Taylor Swift, whom her brother-in-law Travis Kelce has been romantically linked to since 2023. During a lively discussion with guest Kate Hudson, the topic turned to the relentless work ethic of celebrities, with Hudson praising both Beyoncé and Swift for their dedication to their crafts. Kylie chimed in, enthusiastically agreeing, “Yes, the drive is incredible. To be able to witness it all is very cool.”
This moment of admiration comes against the backdrop of Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, which has captivated audiences worldwide and solidified her status as a cultural icon. The Kelce family has shown their support for Swift, with both Jason and Kylie attending her shows, and Travis even making a surprise appearance at Wembley Stadium in June 2024.
Kylie’s comments, while rare, reflect a growing camaraderie between the Kelce family and Swift, especially as they navigate the complexities of high-profile relationships. Swift, known for her resilience against public scrutiny, faced some challenges during the 2025 Super Bowl when she was booed for cheering on Travis. Journalist Erin Andrews defended her, earning Kylie’s endorsement through a liked post, showcasing her subtle support for the pop star.
Furthermore, Kylie has shared personal anecdotes about her interactions with Swift, including a memorable double-date during her pregnancy. Despite battling nausea, she fondly recalled Swift’s culinary skills, specifically a batch of “confetti pancakes” that hit the spot. It’s these small moments that illuminate Swift’s down-to-earth nature amidst her superstar status.
As for Jason Kelce, he has also weighed in on his brother’s relationship with Swift, noting a distinct depth in their connection. On “The Steam Room” podcast, he remarked on how Travis speaks about Swift with a level of admiration that suggests this romance might be different from past relationships. The enthusiasm is palpable, and the Kelce family seems to be embracing Swift not just as a celebrity but as part of their family fabric.
In a world where celebrity relationships can often feel superficial, Kylie’s genuine praise for Swift’s hard work and the heartfelt anecdotes paint a picture of a supportive family dynamic that extends beyond the limelight.
