Jason Kelce can’t wait for his girls to one day meet Taylor Swift’s cats — even though it’ll expose his feline-related lies.
After the retired NFL pro, 36, shared on his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce that he’s been telling his daughters that cats “are poisonous” as a way to get out of adding a feline friend to their household, a fan on X, formally known as Twitter, had a hilarious reaction to envisioning Jason’s girls meeting Taylor Swift’s cats Meredith, Benjamin and Olivia.
“Jason Kelce has been telling his kids cats are poisonous so they don’t have to get one?? LMAO Get Tree Paine on the phone 😭,” one user wrote, referencing Swift’s manager.

“And what is Jason’s plan when they meet Auntie TayTay’s cats?” another asked. Swift has been dating Jason’s brother Travis Kelce, 34, since last summer.
“It’s gonna be hilarious,” Jason responded.
Jason shares his daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 17 months, with wife Kylie Kelce.
On Tuesday, Sept. 3 episode of his podcast, Jason shared his plan for deterring his family from adding a cat to their brood.
“You know what my latest plan to divert our family from getting a cat is? I just keep telling our girls that cats are poisonous,” Jason revealed, referring to his three daughters.
“Why the f— would you tell them that?” Travis asked.
“… So that they don’t want cats,” explained Jason. “And I don’t have to deal with having a cat and make them terrified.”
“That’s sick,” Travis responded. Appearing unbothered, Jason said, “It’s whatever. They’ll find out — I think lying to your kids is important,” he jokingly added.
“Not in this regard,” Travis commented, laughing. “They’re gonna go over a friend’s house and f—ing scream bloody murder because they see a cat.”
“That’s fine. That sounds like that person’s house problem,” Jason continued.
