Kelce Brothers Praise Taylor Swift's New Song 'Cleveland!'

Brothers Travis and Jason Kelce have expressed their strong approval of Taylor Swift's new song, "Cleveland!," which features lyrics referencing Travis's childhood home.

In the song, Swift sings, "that house with the porch is where he lived as a kid," and "My baby likes what he likes / He already took me to Cleveland / And showed me The Heights! / So hate all you like / This is the love of my life." Swift released the four-track "Encore" on Friday, which includes the songs "Patient Zero," "Cleveland!," "Pink Clouding," and "Babylon."

During a recent episode of their "New Heights" podcast, Travis Kelce shared his enthusiasm for the song, stating, "Cleveland is rocking right now!" He added, "Shout out to Tay Tay for making that song, just giving the city a little more life."

His older brother, Jason Kelce, echoed the sentiment, calling the song "incredible." He also mentioned that the track has become a favorite in his household, saying, "Kylie and I have been listening to it so much. There’s just something about it that makes you feel real good. It’s a great song."

While the initial fan reception to the "Encore" tracks was mixed, with some expressing a desire for Swift to keep songs in the vault, the Kelce brothers appear to be enthusiastic supporters of the new material.

This is not the first time Swift has released a song inspired by Travis Kelce. On October 3, 2025, she released "Wood" from her album "The Life of a Showgirl," which contained more explicit lyrics about the NFL player. During an October 8, 2025, podcast episode, both brothers discussed the song, with Travis expressing his affection for Swift and appreciation for any song she references him in.

Swift and Travis Kelce married on July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. A source told Page Six in August that the couple continues to enjoy their newlywed life, finding joy in their "next chapter together."
