Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, faced social media scrutiny after fans noticed he dyed his beard during Taylor Swift’s appearance on ‘New Heights.’ Kelce took to his podcast to clarify the reason behind the change. He explained that the dye was part of a ‘Garage Beer’ bit, where he aimed to look younger by dyeing his beard. Initially, he considered shaving it entirely but decided against it, opting for a darker shade instead.
During the podcast, Kelce discussed the concept of the ‘Garage Beer’ bit, which involved a time-travel storyline. He admitted to missing his natural gray hair but found the darker look growing on him. Despite the unexpected darkness, he claimed the dye worked, though the color was more intense than expected. Kelce emphasized that the decision was not driven by vanity but by the creative concept of the bit.
Kelce also mentioned that his younger brother, Travis Kelce, teased him about the gray hair, suggesting he might feel insecure about the change. However, Jason insisted he loved his natural hair and was embracing the new look. While the dyed beard stirred some controversy, Kelce framed it as a humorous and creative choice, highlighting the difference between vanity and a performance-based decision.
