Jason Kelce Makes Bold Comparison Between Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen
After finally attending one of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concerts, Jason Kelce has one big takeaway, and it has to do with "The Boss," Bruce Springsteen.
During the June 26 episode of the award-winning New Heights podcast that he co-hosts with his younger brother, Travis Kelce, the duo recapped Swift's recent show in London, and what Jason had to say about the experience may surprise you.
While commenting on how animated and excited the crowd at Wembley Stadium was to see the 14-time Grammy winner perform a 45-song setlist for roughly three hours, the former Philadelphia Eagles center said there was only one other time he's seen the incredible display of energy concertgoers brought with them.
"Obviously, the Swifties make it very memorable," he told Travis, 34, who agreed, calling it "awesome."
"Everyone's so into it, they're singing all the songs," Jason continued, explaining that he's only been to "two concerts that have been like that."
"That one," the retired Super Bowl champ said of the recent show he attended in England's capital city alongside wife Kylie. "And the first time I saw Bruce Springsteen live."
"But it was equal kind of level, just these insane fandoms that love these artists so much that they know all of the songs, all of like the run of show even," he added, before using the international pop superstar's running tradition of giving away her "22" hat to one very lucky fan.
"Dude, I've never cried at a f---ing concert," Jason admitted. "And I was literally tearing up watching this little girl's entire–I'm about to tear up right now–it was f---ing so special. It was great."
The father of three's confession immediately inspired Swift's beau, Travis, to point out, "She makes every show unique with the acoustic set."
To which, a very impressed Jason replied, "That was my favorite part."
"It's just her, a guitar and 90,000 people," the 36-year-old gushed, concluding, "To be good in front of like 90,000 people with just that, I think you have to be amazing."
