Jason Kelce is a role model to his daughters – and one of them even shares his fondness for a particular Taylor Swift song. After Jason, 36, revealed in July that “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” off The Tortured Poet Department, is one of his all-time favorite tracks released by Swift, 34, the retired athlete said his daughter Ellie, 3, is also a big fan.
Speaking on the Tuesday, September 3, episode of “The Pivot Podcast,” Jason detailed his daughter’s adoration. “I’ve been listening a lot to ‘I Can Do It With a Broken Heart’ and Ellie right now, there’s a line in that … ‘I’m a real tough kid/I can handle my s-t’ and … she says, ‘I’m a real tough kid/I can handle my stuff’,” Jason told the podcast’s hosts and former NFL stars Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder. “That’s all I hear on a daily basis.” He added, “It gets a laugh out of me every time.”
Jason, who shares daughters Ellie, Wyatt, 4, and Bennett, 18 months, with wife Kylie Kelce, said on the July 3 episode of his “New Heights” podcast with brother Travis Kelce that the track had “turned into his favorite song.” His big reveal followed Swift’s live performance of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” during her June 23 London Eras Tour show, which featured a surprise on stage appearance by Travis, 34. (Swift and Travis have been dating since summer 2023.)
“Even before this happened, that’s a great tune,” Jason said at the time, reflecting on Travis’ Eras Tour inclusion before launching into a rendition of the track himself. “I’m so depressed I act like it’s my birthday, every day,” he sang. Jason added that the track was a standout of Swift’s due to the lyrics’ universal appeal. “I think everybody can assimilate with, like, you’re f-king in a s-tty mood,” he said.
