Jason Kelce praises 'unbelievable role model' Taylor Swift and defends NFL coverage

Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a debate on the amount of coverage that Taylor Swift has received because of her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Whether it's because of Kelce or Swift, the NFL has seen an uptick in terms of viewership, including a record 55.473 million viewers tuning in to see the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 in the AFC Championship last Sunday.

And the cameras paying attention to Swift suits Kelce's brother, Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason, just fine.

"The attention is there because the audience wants to see it,  I know that,” Jason Kelce said to WCPO. "If people didn't want to see it, they wouldn't be showing it. She is the quintessential artist right now in the world, singer-songwriter. She is an unbelievable role model for young women across the globe."

"The NFL probably would be foolish not to show her."
