Travis Kelce had a crazed fan knocking on the window of his $6million mansion the day he moved in, his brother Jason has revealed as he opened up on the impact of their Taylor Swift-inspired fame on everyday life.
Jason spoke candidly about how things have changed for him and Travis since the Chiefs star went public with dating Swift in September in an appearance on Shaquille O’Neal’s ‘The Big Podcast’.
Kelce, now a three-time Super Bowl winner, moved into the mansion, in a gated community in Kansas City, back in October amid reports he was uneasy with how accessible his old house was to the public with his fame rising.
Swift raced back from Japan to cheer Travis on in the Super Bowl on Sunday night as the Chiefs recorded a 25-22 win over San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas. After the game, the couple kissed on the field before partying the night away on The Strip, with images going viral around the world.
‘I’ve learned that fame is crazy,’ Jason said. ‘It’s crazy what it opens up opportunity-wise. It’s crazy to feel how much joy you bring people, how much joy you bring people’s daily lives.

‘It’s also incredibly, it has drawbacks, for sure. And Travis knows, right, more than I.
‘People were just staying by his house. And the first day he moved into the new house, in a gated community, somebody knocks on the back window of the house.’
Jason added that he and his brother are still adjusting to the increased attention on them.
‘We’re still learning. I mean, so listen, we’ve always been big in the football world, Travis especially,’ he said.
‘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.’
Travis’ $6million mansion boasts six bedrooms, six baths, and sprawls across 17,000 sq ft.
The property’s three acres of land feature scenic leafy gardens that shelter the home from view. The expansive grounds are complete with bridges, winding paths, a gazebo, patio and seating areas for lounging around the pool.
Jason is extremely close to his brother Travis and has seen his own fame rise as a result of the relationship with Swift.

Together, they host their New Heights podcast where Travis has opened up to Jason about his relationship with Swift across the course of the NFL season.
Travis wears the number 87 for the Chiefs due to it being the year that Jason was born.
Jason first met Taylor when the Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills on their way to Super Bowl glory.
When Travis scored the first of his two touchdowns in the game, Jason stripped to his waist and leapt out the VIP suite he was sharing with the singer, before necking beers with fans.
‘Tay said she absolutely loved you,’ Travis said as Jason hilariously recounted the story on their New Heights show.
