Jason Kelce Trolls Brother Travis Over His Purchase of a Racehorse With Nod to Taylor Swift
When it comes to brotherly love, a little good-natured ribbing is to be expected from time to time—just ask Jason and Travis Kelce.
Travis recently made headlines for buying a "significant" ownership stake in Swift Delivery, a 3-year-old racehorse—and though the horse wasn't actually named after his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, the coincidence wasn't lost on fans...or Jason.
In a recent post to X, Jason shared the news of Travis' latest acquisition by making an appropriately Swift-themed joke.
"But does it have an enlarged heart…. Can this horse do it with a broken heart! @tkelce," Jason wrote.

In the comments, fans praised the former Philadelphia Eagles center's Swift-centric sense of humor as "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" hails from Swift's 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department.
"Jason, you continue to prove yourself as a true Swiftie," wrote one X user.
"Jason you make my day with your tweets," raved a second commenter.
The "enlarged heart" portion of Jason's post was a reference to the controversial remarks he made earlier this year about the legendary Triple Crown-winning racehorse Secretariat.
On a May episode of the Kelce brothers' podcast, New Heights, Jason claimed that Secretariat still holds the records for the fastest times in the history of the Triple Crown events because the horse was on steroids.
“It’s not that wild because Secretariat was juiced to the gills,” Kelce said. “Secretariat just so happens to be right in the heart of the steroid era. 1973, every NFL player, every baseball player, they were juicing them to the gills. You don’t think Secretariat was f***ing juiced to the rafters? Of course it’s the fastest horse of all time. They didn’t drug test Secretariat the way they did [this year’s Derby winner] Mystik Dan. Nobody talks about it. Secretariat was doping. There’s no chance Secretariat wasn’t doping.”
One day later, Jason took to X to apologize for his comments.
I’m sorry everyone, wasn’t trying to get people riled up, I really thought it was just known that in the 70s steroid use was rampant. I’m not trying to take away from Secretariat’s, or anyone from that eras legacy. You’re right, without proof it is unfair to assume these things…
