Former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce became a target of Travis Kelce and Beau Allen’s jokes, with the two even using Taylor Swift songs to tease the NFL great.

The hilarious move came after the retired former football center was spotted allegedly sleeping at The Eras Tour in Miami.

In the latest episode of the Kelce brothers’ sports podcast, “New Heights,” the older Kelce addressed the controversial photo and explained the reason behind it.

According to Jason Kelce, he was not sleeping but rather vibing with Swift’s songs.

Denying that he “had not taken a nap,” the father of three revealed what really happened during the concert.

“And then I’m just sitting here, and I’m just feeling it, and I’m like, ‘Oh!’ I’m tapping my thigh, and I’m just in the moment, listening to the song,” Jason Kelce said.

“And, then, all of a sudden, I go on Twitter, and I see this f**king picture. And I’m like, ‘What the f**k? ’ I’m not even sleeping, and I can prove it to you. There’s evidence in this photo that I’m not sleeping,” he furthered, adding that his hands were “hovering” above his knee.

On the other hand, Allen, who took the viral photo, had a witty response to it using the music sensation’s “Back to December” song.

Interestingly, the Kansas City Chiefs star chimed in with a line from “Bad Blood,” playfully mocking the potential beef between Allen and his brother stemming from the Eras Tour mishap.

Swift’s Miami concert marked her return in the U.S for the highly anticipated tour. At that time, Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna, was present at the show along with his brother and family.

Meanwhile, the three-time Super Bowl champion also mentioned on their podcast that he “had all the FOMO in the world” because his entire family and friends were there to see his girlfriend’s performance.
