Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce are showing their love for Blake Lively!
During the Wednesday, Oct. 9 episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, Travis, 35, praised his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s close friend Lively, 37, after fans voted for him and Jason, 36, to watch her 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in a New Heights film club poll.
“The winner by a huge margin, of course, is Sisterhood for the Traveling Pants, or whatever,” Jason, 36, declared. “Say it right, Jason,” Travis said, adding, “Dude, you are gonna love this movie.”
“A movie about pants and sisterhood — two of my least favorite things,” Jason joked. “…I mean, I got a bunch of daughters. I guess I’m warming up to sisterhood.”
Jason said he believed that Swifties took over the movie poll to vote for Lively’s film. “All I know is, is this whole thing, Jake threw a bunch of other movies that he knew would take votes from each other so that the Swifties could just freaking dominate the poll with such other traffic,” Jason said. “Spaceballs, Goonies and Necessary Roughness all took each other’s votes.”

Happy with the poll results, Travis continued, “I’m excited to watch. I think we planned on watching this together.”
“You’re honestly excited to watch this movie?” replied Jason. “What in the title makes you excited to watch this movie?… Do you know anything about this movie?”
“I don’t know. It has Blake Lively in it, and she’s cool,” responded Travis.
‘Listen, I love Blake,” said Jason, to which Travis added of the actress, “I like watching films with people that I’ve met and I know.”
The brothers’ comments come as Travis has developed a relationship with Lively over the past year since he started dating Swift, 34. while Jason and his wife Kylie Kelce spent time with Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds at Swift’s home in Rhode Island back in August.

On Aug. 24, the NFL star and “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” singer were pictured in Rhode Island, with Lively and Reynolds, 47, later joining them, while Jason, Kylie, 32, and Bradley Cooper and his daughter Lea, 7, were all spotted in the area following the end of the European leg of Swift’s Eras Tour.
On Oct. 7, Swift came out to support Travis as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the New Orleans Saints in Kansas City, Missouri, just days after the athlete celebrated his 35th birthday.
In photos posted on social media, the couple posed backstage at the stadium with members of their inner circle, including comedian Andrew Santino, who documented the meet up on Instagram.
