It’s been exactly one year since Kylie Kelce launched her hit podcast, Not Going to Lie, and if there is one thing we have learned, it is that the “First Lady of the Philadelphia Eagles” is the undisputed Queen of Relatability. While the world often looks at the Kelce family through the lens of Super Bowl rings and high-profile romances, Kylie has carved out her own space by being unapologetically human.

In her latest holiday special, celebrating her “NGLversary,” Kylie stripped away the polished veneer of celebrity motherhood, delivering a hilarious and refreshing dose of reality. From admitting to being a “deadbeat” when it comes to Christmas traditions to confessing her “mean” pregnancy streaks, the episode was a masterclass in honesty. However, it was a reported closing remark about a certain global pop star that has sent the internet into an absolute tailspin.

The “Deadbeat” Elf Confession

Let’s face it: The Elf on the Shelf is the bane of many parents’ existence during December. It requires creativity, consistency, and memory—three things that are often in short supply during the holiday rush. Kylie Kelce is no exception, and she is not afraid to admit it.

“I’m going to get honest about what she’s slacking on this time,” Kylie joked, referring to her family’s elf, “Emmy Nemi.”

Kylie proudly labeled herself a “deadbeat” regarding the tradition, revealing that her elf barely ever moves. “We don’t get into the chaos that is the malarkey,” she laughed. “Homegirl, we’re lucky if she moves.”

She even shared a hilarious parenting hack for when she inevitably forgets to move the doll. It’s called “bogey condition.” When her daughters run in to find the elf in the exact same spot, Kylie and her husband, Jason Kelce, exchange a panicked look. Jason distracts the kids (“Got it!”), and Kylie sprints to throw the elf into a new location.

“We don’t know where she is on a regular-ass basis,” Kylie quipped. She even admitted to lying to her children, telling them the elf “can’t fly back to the North Pole when it’s raining” because of “flight conditions.” It is this kind of improvised, chaotic parenting that makes Kylie so endearing to her audience. She isn’t trying to be Pinterest-perfect; she is just trying to survive December.

“Mean for Sport”: The Pregnancy Diaries

The hilarity didn’t stop at the elf. During a segment called “Doom Scroll,” Kylie reacted to a viral post about a husband’s complicated pizza order for his pregnant wife. This triggered a wave of nostalgia—and slight horror—about her own pregnancies.

“I wasn’t a cravings person; I was an aversions person,” Kylie explained, before correcting herself. “I was mean. I’m a mean pregnant lady. I’m mean just for sport.”

She recalled looking back at her behavior with horror, admitting that she would have moments of clarity where she realized she was being terrible, only to immediately go back to being mean. “It’s a miracle my husband’s put up with it this many times,” she said.

However, she did have one massive craving: Granny Smith apples and whipped cream. And not just a few. “If we tried to fill a dumpster with the number of apples and cans of whipped cream that I went through, we’d need six dumpsters,” she hyperbolized. It’s a comforting reminder that even the wives of NFL superstars find themselves rage-eating snacks and terrorizing their partners during pregnancy.

The “Sister-in-Law” Heard ‘Round the World

While Kylie’s parenting confessions were the meat of the episode, the garnish was a moment that has officially set the Swiftie fandom on fire.

According to reports from the episode’s release, Kylie sent fans into a frenzy by enthusiastically wishing her “sister-in-law,” Taylor Swift, a very Merry Christmas.

For months, the world has watched the budding romance between Kylie’s brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, and the music icon. The term “sister-in-law” carries a heavy weight. Is it just a term of endearment signifying how close the families have become? Or was it a slip of the tongue revealing that the couple has secretly tied the knot?

Kylie has always been supportive of the relationship, but this specific choice of words has fueled speculation that the bond between the Kelces and Swift is deeper and more permanent than previously thought. The internet loves a conspiracy theory, and the idea of Taylor Swift officially being a “Kelce” is the ultimate holiday gift for fans.

Gift-Giving Anxiety

In a final relatable twist, Kylie discussed her deep-seated anxiety surrounding receiving gifts. While most people love tearing into presents, Kylie revealed that the attention makes her physically sweat.

“I don’t like when I have to open a gift and people are looking at me for a reaction,” she explained. “The thought of that makes me want to cry.”

She admitted she even had an “unwrapped gift baby shower” just to avoid the spectacle. It’s a vulnerable admission that highlights her introverted nature, a stark contrast to the loud, boisterous energy often associated with the Kelce brothers.

A Year of “FAFO”

Celebrating one year of the podcast, Kylie also launched her new merch line featuring the acronym “FAFO.” While the adult meaning is “F*** Around and Find Out,” she hilariously rebranded it for her kids and mother-in-law as “Fart Around and Find Out” or “Friends and Family Only.”

From “deadbeat” elf skills to navigating fame and family rumors, Kylie Kelce continues to prove that she is the authentic voice we didn’t know we needed. Whether she is accidentally fueling marriage rumors or just trying to hide an elf doll before her kids wake up, she is doing it with a level of honesty that is truly refreshing.

As for the “sister-in-law” comment? We will have to wait and see if an invite to a Royal Wedding is in the mail. Until then, we’ll just be over here eating apples and whipped cream in solidarity.
