With the whole Kelce family on hand to cheer on Travis Kelce—Jason and Kylie Kelce, along with parents Donna and Ed—there were a number of moments going viral from the playoff game, including Travis’ brother and sister-in-law publicly meeting his popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift for the first time.

Another major moment making their rounds on the internet was Jason’s decision to go shirtless into the crowd for an impromptu meet-and-greet with fans despite the frigid temperatures, which even scored a hilarious response from his young daughter.

“Can we talk about Jason Kelce,” Bush Hager said, initiating the conversation, to which Kotb replied, “Yes, we have to.”

As a clip from the game was shown on the screen, Kotb noted, “he’s got a beard, he’s screaming, that’s guttural, that’s real, that’s 'I love my brother.'"

The duo then saw a clip of him taking shots with Bills fans—the opposing team (because, as Kotb noted, “everybody loves him,” so he can)—out of a bowling ball.

“What I love about him is he doesn’t censor himself,” Bush Hager added before underscoring that he’s a champ for going into real-feel 6-degree weather sans shirt.

“He’s your spirit animal,” Kotb told Bush Hager, who agreed, “I’d like to be him,” clarifying, that at first, she was like “ugh,” but then her husband called her out, stating, “Come on Jenna, you know you love that.”

“You couldn’t do exactly that, but if you could, you would,” she continued relaying what her husband said to her.

Kotb knew exactly why people are so drawn to Jason, regardless if he’s wearing a shirt or not, explaining it’s because he’s “100% himself, he’s freed and carefree,” before adding “that he loves his brother so hard.”

That wasn’t the only moment from the game the duo discussed as they started off their show forming hearts with their hands—Taylor’s signature move, which Travis also threw up toward the box that his girlfriend was sitting in after scoring a crucial touchdown.

“She’s always doing it, so now he’s doing it,” Kotb noted with a laugh to which Bush Hager replied, “It’s very interesting when you start to inherit qualities of your partner.”

“We all do it, we’re all guilty,” she said, highlighting that there’s just something so tender about the visual of a masculine man “hearting” his significant other in front of a stadium full of people.

During the talked-about Jan. 21 game, Travis and quarterback Patrick Mahomes also broke another major NFL record, while Jason also made headlines by helping a young Swiftie get her handwritten sign in front of the ‘Cruel Summer’ crooner herself.
