What Does Jason Kelce Think of Taylor Swift’s ‘Cleveland’?

The conversation turned to Taylor Swift’s song while the brothers were discussing the Cleveland Guardians’ route to the MLB playoffs. Travis, who grew up in Ohio, said, “Cleveland is rocking right now,” and added, “Shout-out to Tay Tay for making that song.”

Jason Kelce says he and his wife, Kylie, have been playing Taylor Swift’s “Cleveland!” on repeat. During the September 30 episode of New Heights, he told his brother, Travis, “Dude, that song is incredible. Kylie and I have been listening to it so much.”

“Cleveland!” arrived September 25 alongside 3 other new songs on The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, the deluxe edition of Swift’s 2025 album. Its lyrics connect the Ohio trip with her relationship with Travis: “He already took me to Cleveland / And showed me The Heights, so hate all you like / This is the love of my life.”

Travis proposed in August 2025 after they’d dated for 2 years. They married in July 2026 and held their reception at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Swift also references the wedding in “Cleveland!”, singing that she was “wearing white” this summer.
