Jason Kelce wants to set the record straight about his “nap” on the Eras Tour.

During the Wednesday, October 23rd episode of him New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce Podcast: The retired NFL star, 36, denied falling asleep during Taylor Swift's show in Miami on Oct. 18 while discussing the photo posted by his friend Beau Allen in which he appeared to be napping at the concert.

“You took a nap on the Eras Tour,” said Jason’s brother and co-host Travis Kelce, who is dating Swift, 34. “What's that supposed to mean?”

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

“This show is absolutely electrifying. It's the greatest show ever on stage and you're falling asleep here,” replied Travis, 35.

In the photo originally posted, she stood and watched as she held her three-year-old daughter, Elliotte.

Jason then gave some background information about the photo on the podcast. “So Kylie is holding Elliotte, right? Elliotte was with me at the moment. We were dancing and I sat down… we walk out there and I realize I'm in the middle of the outdoors,” he explained. “It’s not like a box, it’s like it’s closed.”

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

“I just sit here and feel it. And I pat myself on the thigh,” he continued. “And I’m just about to listen to the song. And then all of a sudden I go on Twitter and see this f—— picture. And I’m like, dude, what the fuck?”

Jason also provided evidence that he could not have been sleeping in the photo. “My hand is floating,” he emphasized. “You can’t sleep with your hand hovering over your knee.”

Jason responded to Allen, 32, posting the snap: “I'm worried about all these other people taking photos with me and Ellie and I'm trying to take a moment. And then suddenly I see this – betrayed by one of my best friends,” he joked.
