Shania Twain appeared to get a kick out of the way people are linking one of her songs to Jason Kelce’s recent viral shirtless moment.
The Philadelphia Eagles center has been the star of several popular memes in the four days since he stripped off his shirt while supporting his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, during the Jan. 21 Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills NFL playoff game at New York’s Highmark Stadium.
In one shared on Monday, an X (formerly Twitter) user suggested Jason’s celebratory expression in the now-famous image could be a reaction Twain fans might have upon hearing one of her hit songs, “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” come on at a bar.
The Canadian Grammy winner, 58, retweeted the meme, which included the lyrics "Let's go girls," adding three crying-while-laughing emojis.

Jason, 36, revealed his thinking behind the decision on New Heights, the podcast he co-hosts with Travis, 34. In an episode that dropped on Wednesday, Jason said he was “caught up in the magic” while surrounded by the “Bills Mafia,” the nickname for Bills fans. Though Jason attended a Bills tailgate before the game, he told his younger brother that he didn’t get to spend as much time there as he’d originally intended.
“I wanted to take my shirt off at the tailgate,” Jason said. “Because we kind of got pushed back on the tailgate front, I didn’t get to have my shirt off out there.”
Jason’s plans changed once he arrived at his family’s box in the stadium. “I noticed, ‘Hey, I could jump out of this box and I’ll be outside. And if I take my shirt off, then I’m outside and I’m part of the Buffalo Bills pageantry.’”
Though Jason later said he suspected his wife didn’t approve, his parents both appeared to be amused by his antics. While his mom, Donna Kelce, told People that she was “not at all” surprised by her oldest son’s actions, his father, Ed Kelce, was among those sharing memes online that featured photos of a shirtless Jason jumping from the box into the crowd.
