The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing to launch their second holiday album, and fans are eagerly anticipating the possibility of Taylor Swift making an appearance as one of the special guests. Center Jason Kelce along with his teammates Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson will be releasing "A Philly Special Christmas Special" next month. However, fans will have the opportunity to hear a sneak peek of the festive record on Wednesday, November 15, with a single featuring Jason's brother, Travis Kelce.

rewritten as follows:

Fans of both Swift and football expressed their speculations for the song in the comments section. "Will Taylor be joining in now?" pondered one social media user, to which the album's account responded, "We are always up for a Christmas miracle."

Some fans attempted to speculate on the song the brothers had recorded, ranging from classics like "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" to Swift's "Christmas Tree Farm." One user playfully suggested, "A unique Philly Christmas Special (Travis' rendition) perhaps."

On Monday, another post was shared by A Philly Special Christmas (@aphillyspecialchristmas), featuring Jason, 36, in a phone call with his brother Travis, 34, attempting to persuade him to contribute vocals on the album. Jason mentions that the dynamic between them is like two people engaged in a conflict, yet deeply caring for each other, which he believes would add an interesting element to their musical collaboration.

Encouraging fans to stream the holiday hit upon its release, the post's caption teases, "Travis is on board, but which Christmas song could it be?". Following in the footsteps of 2022's A Philly Special Christmas, the forthcoming holiday album aims to support local charities such as the Children's Crisis Treatment Center and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The NFL stars are determined to exceed the impressive $1.25 million raised last year.

In October, Jason humorously suggested that the simplest way to surpass last year's achievement would be to have Swift, 33, who has been romantically associated with Travis since September, involved. "That would be absolutely amazing," he shared with Today. "Perhaps something to consider in the future."

Although Swift won't be appearing, the Eagles athletes have managed to secure some notable names for their second album, including Patti LaBelle. When asked about working with the renowned artist, Mailata playfully mentioned his stage fright, saying, "Every time I attempted to sing with her, I just couldn't." As for Travis' contribution to the record, it has stirred up controversy among dedicated Eagles fans. One Instagram user commented, "Is nothing sacred? I mean, this is cool, but it's an Eagles thing!" (Travis currently plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, who emerged victorious in the 2023 Super Bowl against the Eagles.)
