Officially retired from the NFL after 13 years, ex-Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is now free to pursue other hobbies. The 36-year-old Ohioan spends much of that time recording the award-winning podcast New Heights with younger brother Travis Kelce (better known as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.) However, Jason has previously dipped his toe into music, recording two Christmas albums with former Eagles teammates Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata. Now, the trio are gearing up for their third Christmas special, featuring… Stevie Nicks?!

“You Look Like Stevie Nicks:” The Christmas Crossover We Didn’t Know We Needed
On Wednesday (Oct. 2), the New Heights podcast shared a picture to social media of Jason Kelce standing beside Stevie Nicks.
At first glance, it seems like an ordinary photo—until you notice the microphone in the foreground. And the lyric sheets in their hands. And Kelce’s Christmas sweater, matching the silver tree in the background.
“The crossover we didn’t know we needed,” the caption read. “Coming soon to a Christmas album near you.”
That’s right. Stevie Nicks, the iconic Fleetwood Mac frontwoman will make an appearance on the third Philadelphia Eagles Christmas album, set to drop next month.
“this christmas album is everything to me already and i haven’t even heard it yet,” one giddy fan wrote on X/Twitter.
Stevie Nicks Has a Long-Standing Relationship With Taylor Swift
Many social media users suspected Taylor Swift’s hand in the collaboration. The “Anti-Hero” megastar is famously dating Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Jason’s younger brother. And Swift has frequently cited Stevie Nicks as an inspiration, even name-dropping her in the 2024 song “Clara Bow.” (You look like Stevie Nicks / Half moonshine, full eclipse.)
Don’t Rule Out a Jason Kelce-Taylor Swift Collab
Stevie Nicks isn’t the only legendary musician to appear on A Philly Special Christmas Party. Philly’s own Boyz II Men will join the Kelce brothers on the album’s first single, “It’s Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights.)”
Taylor Swift will not appear on the record, as confirmed by 6ABC. However, Jason Kelce hasn’t nixed the idea of a collaboration with his brother’s famous girlfriend.
“I will do whatever Tay wants,” the 7-time Pro Bowler said in a September interview with Sports Illustrated. “But I think she’s doing just fine on her own.”
