The Kelce “Watch”

beach-mom — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 04:24:07 GMT

Of course Taylor was at the game today with some of her closest BFF's. She was with Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman, among others.

But sitting next to "Mama Kelce" - Donna - in Travis' box suite to cheer him on was. . . "Jake from State Farm," real name Kevin Miles!

So HE was there courtesy of Ryan Reynolds' (Taylor's BFF's husband) production company. I swear these people are all connected. This is getting hard to follow!

And I think they're all having fun "playing" with us!

P.S. I miss the original "Jake from State Farm." I wish State Farm had used both of them in commercials somehow!

@beach-mom I think your right, they are having fun playing w/us.

I didn't see Jake from State Farm at the Chief's game but saw him sitting next to Donna watching her other son Jason at the Eagle's game; he really must have put the miles in today.

@colleena - You are right. They were at the Eagles game!

@beach-mom - The Jake-from-State-Farm commercial was brilliant. Everyone will always remember it.

Taylor sure runs with a popular crowd.

I saw the commercials with State Farm and professional NFL players and a Coach. And thought if I had State Farm for my insurance, I would be furious about the money they are spending on the fees on these players.

They keep raising the insurance cost and spending the cost on players who already of tons of money. Think it is pretty disgusting!

It's just one big PR game for all of them. I don't know why someone who isn't a 15 year old girl is buying into it.

We've had State Farm for years and they have always given us good service. No complaints here. Our rates aren't that bad, either.

I don't need to follow everything Taylor Swift is doing or who her friends are. Unfortunately, it seems the NFL is turning into TMZ. That is just sad.

I'm already sick and tired of hearing about Taylor and her effect. Such hullabaloo for a relationship that's barely off the ground and likely won't even last the season. Who cares! Oh, but wait....it sells lots of tickets. $$$$$

It's just a big publicity stunt, like always.

NFl is heaven with all the attention. All the Swifties who came with Taylor are amazing.

Never have really followed Taylor, not even a fan. Just respected all of her accomplishments. As a big NFL fan,this whole thing is really entertaining me. The more I see Taylor and hear her songs, the more I appreciate her. She is really a way bigger force of nature than I ever imagined.

@beach-mom It's working extremely well for them. To me just as an indication of the power of celebrity. Didn't watch except for what I saw on the morning news.

What's with her and those ugly red lips????

I’ve had State Farm for 30 years snd don’t care how they spend their marketing dollars.

Noticed Aaron Rogers wasn't sitting with them.

Also noticed that Travis didn't seem to play up to par. (At least in the first half.)

"The power of celebrity" is a true, but cautionary, phrase.

I have no interest in any celebrity but there is SWIFTY news all over, so I cannot avoid it....and yes, I miss the original Jake from State Farm...commercials were better as well.

I don't follow football so I didn't even know who this guy was until Taylor started dating him.

They're usually nobodies or just starting out when Taylor gets a hold of them. He was just an average player anyway. Now he's the glamour guy. I mean how many people heard of Joe Alwyn before?

We switched our car insurance to State Farm a year ago, because their rates were considerably lower than what we were paying (surprisingly).

Oh, and the original Jake-From-State-Farm was asked to remake the iconic commercials, but he declined, so they brought in the new guy.

I totally enjoyed the original commercial, but the *new* Jake is cute and funny too. ♥

I think it’s interesting to comment about the other person sitting with Taylor Swift who wasn’t included in the OP’s post. She’s been spending time with Sophie Turner - ex of one of Taylor’s ex’s. She’s gearing up for a huge custody battle with whichever Jonas brother is her husband. I wonder if Sophie and Taylor ever spoke before? Now Sophie’s reportedly staying at Swift’s apartment.
