Fans shouldn’t miss out on “Total Eclipse of the Heart (Jason Kelce‘s Version).”
In a now-viral TikTok shared by user @mad.is.onnn, Jason, 37, can be seen belting out Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” during a tailgate at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C.
“Nothing like a snowy Homecoming at App State, especially when Jason Kelce brings the house down with a live rendition of ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ at the tailgate!!!” the TikTok user captioned the video shared on Nov. 23.
The Philadelphia Eagles alum sported a pair of gold and black striped overalls over a black hoodie and a winter hat. Amid flurries in the air, students gathered around Jason at a microphone as he sang the ’80s power ballad.
The former center went for it, hitting the high notes and embracing the song’s passionate words. At one point, he forgot the lyrics, but finished strong.

Fans were quick to comment on the TikTok, praising Jason’s skills. “I’m [losing] count of all of Jason’s side quests since retirement lol,” one user said. “I’ll never skip a Jason video,” another wrote, while a third person chimed in, “He’s a national treasure.”
Others commented on his multitasking, pointing out his grip on two beers in one hand and a cup in the other. “Man does not need to say Hold my Beer. He just does the thing holding 3 beers!!” someone joked.

The Monday Night Football broadcaster’s singing skills go beyond this impromptu tailgate performance.
Jason is part of the Philly Specials with Eagles players Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata. The group released their third holiday album, Philly Special Christmas Party, on Nov. 22, with profits benefitting local charities in Philadelphia.
The album features Jason singing a duet with Stevie Nicks called “Maybe This Christmas” and “Santa Drives an Astrovan,” performed with Mt. Joy.
Travis, 35, and Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce are also featured.
