The Kelce brothers have added another impressive accomplishment to their belts — and this time it’s not football related.
Travis Kelcemade hissinging debut this week with his brother Jason KelceonA Philly Special Christmas, Jason’s second Christmas album with his fellow Philadelphia linemen.
Jason talked Travis into doing a sibling duet this year, and their song, “Fairytale of Philadelphia,” dropped Wednesday. Within hours, it had made its way into the top 10 songs on iTunes, asJasonproudlysharedon X (formerly Twitter).
“This is incredibly humbling, thank you to all for supporting!!” Jason, 36, wrote as he shared a screenshot of the song at the eighth spot on the charts.
A couple hours later, the song was all the way up to the No. 1 spot, and the Eagles player shared a hilarious GIF ofWill FerrellfromElfbouncing up and down in excitement in response to thenews.
On the track, which allowed the NFL stars to embrace their brotherly love, Philadelphia style, Travis, 34, sang some playful jabs at his older brother, including calling him a “phony” and an “a–” and hoping for “this Christmas to be our last.”
While the song was Travis’ musical debut, it was nothing new for Jason, whoreleased his first Christmas album with fellow Eagles linemanLane Johnson and Jordan Mailata last year. This year is the trio’s second iteration, and it’s become an annual effort to raise money for charity.
Last year, they raised over $1 million for local Philadelphia charities.

“Maybe, not this one, not this time around,” he said afterTodayco-host Sheinelle Jones asked about the possibility of Swift joining in. “That would be pretty incredible, maybe in the future.”

The record also features a duet between Mailata, 26, andPatti LaBelle, andthe trio took on the biggest Christmas hit ever,Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas.”
“It was kind of nerve-racking at first, just because, [I] can’t really do the same key as the Queen of the Holidays,” Mailata said of coveringCarey’s classic hit. “She’s incredible. So we kind of had to dial it back a couple of keys and, you know, put our own tastes on it. And I thought it turned out really good.”
Unlike Jason and Johnson, Mailata has a history with singing. Heappeared on season 7ofThe Masked Singerand impressed judges and the audience with his vocal talent.
“I was a singer first before any sort of athlete,” the Australian athlete said.
