On Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, legendary NFL tight end Travis Kelce celebrated his 37th birthday with Taylor Swift, and his older brother, Jason Kelce, tried to celebrate it on New Heights.
During the Oct. 7 edition of New Heights, Jason Kelce tried to play Happy Birthday on the accordion. His younger brother was amused, but it hardly sounded like what he was going for.
This week’s episode has a “Happy Birthday” feel … sort of

“Not bad,” Travis Kelce said in response to the performance by his brother, who admitted that it was his “first time” playing the accordion.
“That was my first time ever playing it,” he conceded, “I'm actually shocked I even got anywhere close to [Happy Birthday]. It had a Happy Birthday feel to it!”
Travis Kelce didn't “get the feel” that his older brother felt. Maybe Jason Kelce should leave the musical performances to Travis' wife. She is the biggest pop star in the world, and she could probably give him a lesson or two.
When was Travis Kelce's birthday?
Kelce's 37th birthday was on Oct. 5, 2026. He is in the middle of the 14th year of his NFL career. He has spent all of it with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs are currently rolling and are undefeated heading into their bye week. They just beat the Las Vegas Raiders, who were 3-0 heading into their Week 4 matchup.
So far, Kelce has been integral in the Chiefs' offense. He has caught 16 passes for 246 yards, averaging 15.4 yards per catch, and two touchdowns. His yards-per-catch average is the highest of his career. We'll see if he can keep pace for the rest of the year.
Kansas City will take on the winless Los Angeles Chargers after their bye on Oct. 18. They will then visit the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos, whom they beat in Week 1, in the following weeks.
