Taylor Swift earned praise from boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce after the pop star chugged a drink during Sunday’s Super Bowl.
During the game’s telecast, the 34-year-old singer and her friend Ashley Avignone were seen downing their drinks in a moment that appeared on the Jumbotron and later went viral. Travis and Jason played the clip during Wednesday’s episode of their “New Heights” podcast, and both NFL stars shared their admiration for Swift’s drinking skills.
“I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t know what was going on at first. I was sitting behind them, and I saw them go for the drinks. And then I go, ‘Oh, this is happening. Chug, chug,’” Jason recalled. “She’s getting after it. Pretty cool.”

Travis and Jason Kelce were loving Taylor Swift’s viral drink chugging at the 2024 Super Bowl.
The NFL football brothers discussed the moment on New Heights podcast, in which the “Cruel Summer” singer, 34, was featured on the jumbotron at Allegiant Stadium and began chugging her drink alongside her friend Ashley Avignone.
“I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t know what was going on at first,” Jason, 36, recalled. “I was sitting behind them and I saw them go for the drinks, and then ‘Oh, oh this is happening. Chug. Chug.’ She’s getting plastered, pretty cool.”
“This was on the Jumbotron, nice,” Travis, 34, chimed in as he watched the video, before adding, “Oh, and the slam down!”

Travis then went on to praise his girlfriend, who he noted seemed to have had experience with this kind of thing.
“She’s done this before,” Travis said. ”She’s a pro.”
“I mean, not her first rodeo,” Jason jokingly added.

Jason noted elsewhere in the podcast that it seemed Swift was unfazed by the star-studded event and the cavalcade of celebrities who stopped by their suite to say hi to the Midnights artist. She was seen at the game cheering on the Chiefs in her suite alongside Blake Lively, Ice Spice, Lana Del Rey, Keleigh Sperry and Miles Teller, and had also met up with several other prominent celebrities including Shaquille O’Neal and Paul McCartney.
“Turns out everybody wants to meet Taylor,” he said of the celebrities that had entered their suite to meet her. “I think it was my first [time] really understanding… some of the things that she has to deal with on a lot of basis.”

He added that the “celebrity attendance was pretty unreal.”
“It’s the Vegas Super Bowl baby, the stars are out. You gotta love it, man,” Travis replied. “Taylor thrives in those situations, she’s been in them countless times in her life.”
Swift had plenty of other viral moments during the game and at the afterparty with boyfriend Travis and the rest of the Chiefs after their Super Bowl win. The couple were spotted serenading each other with some of the singer’s hits (including “Love Story” and “You Belong with Me”), enjoying a 5 a.m. snack at the club and sharing an on-field kiss, of course.
