As Jason explained during Wednesday’s episode, despite his wife, Kylie, telling him to be on his “best behavior,” because they were meeting Travis’ girlfriend, who also happens to be Taylor Swift, for the first time, Jason obviously took that as a sign to get so hype about Travis’ touchdown that he ended up taking off his shirt and jumping out of the suite.

“Kylie, the first day I met you I was blacked out drunk and fell asleep at the bar,” Jason recalled. “This is part of the charm. This is part of the Jason Kelce charm.” Well… that’s actually a valid point. “I want to make my best first impression,” Jason added.

For a bit of the usual brotherly banter, Travis joked that Jason’s “best first impression is the worst impression ever.” That being said, the intended end result was achieved, as Travis shared, “Well, Tay said she absolutely loved you.”

As seen in a fan caught video zoomed into the VIP suite during the game, the at first shocked singer, cheered Jason on, giving him a high-five as he walked through the box sans shirt. “Oh my god!,” Tay was seen mouthing from one angle, while from another Kylie seemed to be mouthing “No,” and attempting to wrangle her husband back inside the suite.

That’s correct, yes, Tay and the gang weren’t the only ones who got to bask in Jason’s bare chest. The newly announced retired NFL star hopped outside the booth, joining the crowd to chug some beer and cheer on his brother’s winning team.
