Story summary

Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, shared on his podcast "New Heights" that Taylor Swift, his wife, thought it was “f–ked up” when Jason Kelce called early in the morning asking for help with a workout challenge. Jason needed Travis to spot him during a squat session as part of their Squatober challenge. The call at 7:30 AM initially worried Travis about a potential injury but turned out to be just a request for assistance with his fitness routine. The story was detailed in two articles from the New York Post on October 21, 2026.
