Jason Kelce got a kick out NFL Mexico’s New Year’s shoutout to his brother, Travis Kelce, which featured the Chiefs’ tight end with an armful of felines—Taylor Swift’s, to be specific.
The Eagles center shared the adorable drawing during their “Fan Mentions of the Week” segment on the most recent episode of their podcast, New Heights, which found Travis surrounded by fellow footballers as they rang in 2024—giant gold number balloons, and all.
“De parte de la NFL México, ¡Feliz año nuevo!” the organization wrote on social media, which translates to, “On behalf of NFL Mexico, Happy New Year!”
When Jason finally spotted his little brother in the mix, he pointed out, “Oh look at that, you have a bunch of Lombardi-” He cut himself off after realizing that he’d mistaken the cats for the prized trophy awarded to the Super Bowl winners each year, amending his response to, “Oh, no, KITTIES!”
While they’re not explicitly mentioned as the superstar’s cats—either within the cartoon or by her boyfriend—it’s pretty clear that Benjamin Button, Oliva Benson, and Meredith Grey are the felines being cradled between his hands—in that order.
Jason was incredibly enthusiastic over his cartoon accessories, though Travis played it cool, responding, “Yup.” He then suggested that the artist must have heard them talking about cats on another recent episode, where Jason’s wife Kylie implied that Travis “might like cats now” that he’s dating Swift.
“Huh!” Jason replied, while Travis added, “Interesting,” with a deadpan.
“How about that. What kind of cats are they?” Jason pressed, quizzing his brother on cat breeds, which he failed.
However, you happen to be dealing with certified Swifties here, so, if you happen to be seeking the answer, we can tell you that Benjamin is a Ragdoll, while Oliva and Meredith are Scottish Folds.
