Jason Kelcewants to set the record straight about his Eras Tour “nap.”

“You took a nap at the Eras Tour,” Jason’s brother and co-hostTravis Kelce, who is dating Swift, 34, said. “What is that all about?”

“Travis, you know I didn’t take a nap. I did not take a nap,” insisted Jason.

“This show is absolutely electric. It’s the greatest show that’s ever been onstage, and you’re over here falling asleep,” Travis, 35, responded.

In the photo, which was originally posted onX(formerly known as Twitter), Jason sat with his eyes closed in the stands during the concert — leading fans to believe he was sleeping — as his wifeKylie, who attended the show with him, stood watching as she held their3-year-old daughter Elliotte.

Jason then gave some background on the photo on the podcast. “So Kylie is holding Elliotte, right? Elliotte was just with me. We were dancing, and I was sitting down … we go out there, and I realize I’m in the middle of the open,” he explained. “It isn’t like a box, like closed.”

Jason said he felt like he was “in a fishbowl” with “everybody staring at me” so he sat down.

“I’m just sitting here, and I’m feeling it. And I’m tapping my thigh,” he continued. “And I’m in the moment listening to the song. And then all of a sudden, I go on Twitter, and I see this f—— picture. And I’m like, dude, what the f—?”
