Kylie Kelce Spills Her Personal Politics After Beating Joe Rogan
Kylie Kelce is letting people know where she stands politically, after allowing fans to speculate throughout the presidential election season.
Kelce, the wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and brother-in-law to Travis Kelce, told The New York Times amid the massive success of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, her personal politics “aggressively lean” left. Aware that she may be surprising fans who suspected her family could be conservative, Kelce told the Times, “I don’t care what other people have to say.”
She went on to reveal that after Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris during the election, a caravan of MAGA flag-wielding vehicles rode slowly past her house, which to her sent the message, “‘We know where you live.’” Safety concerns prior to the election are why she didn’t correct assumptions about her political stances, the profile clarified.
As such, the host of the new podcast about “mom stuff” felt free to divulge some of her dream political figures to have on her show. “I would talk to Michelle Obama in a heartbeat, and I know she is not personally running, but I would love it if she would.” She also told the publication she’s a fan of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Kelce’s new show, just three episodes in, knocked The Joe Rogan Experience from its top spot as the number one podcast in America as soon as it premiered. The massive interest in the former footballer’s wife and high school hockey coach’s podcast has come as a surprise to some and an annoyance to others—particularly fans of Rogan’s, who were disappointed to see his show fall from the top spot.
Kelce and Rogan’s show are currently trading first and second place on the charts on Spotify, but as of now, she still holds the top spot on Apple Podcasts.
Kelce is aware of her naysayers, but told the Times, “I couldn’t care less about the charts.” Her haters’ biggest critique of Kelce seems to be that no one knows who she is, “which is very funny to me,” she told the paper, “I don’t need you to know who I am.”
