In a surprising crossover between sports and pop culture, the impending retirement of Jason Kelce, Philadelphia Eagles center, has sparked an unusual response from an unexpected quarter: Taylor Swift’s fans, known as Swifties. This bizarre phenomenon sees Swifties, typically more attuned to pop music than football, creating emotional tribute videos for Kelce, who is the brother of Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

The heartfelt montages, set to the tunes of Taylor Swift’s hits, have taken over social media, highlighting the deep, albeit unusual, connection Swifties feel towards Kelce.

Another Swift fan reacted with “why just why,” accompanied by a tearful emoji, while a fellow Swiftie exclaimed, “OH MY GOD IM SOBBING HYSTERICALLY.”
