Kylie Kelce told her husband, former Eagles center Jason Kelce, to “sleep with one eye open” after he was responsible for the now-viral video that showed her Irish step dancing at a bar in Philadelphia over St. Patrick’s Day weekend this month.
In the third edition of her new TikTok series, “Places Kylie has no business being,” Kylie explained how she became part of the performance with the McHugh School of Irish Step Dancing — and said she embarrassed herself in front of a massive crowd at Media’s Towne House.
“I haven’t Irish danced since probably seventh grade, and that is with the exception of occasionally when impaired in college,” she said. “I had no business. None.”

That’s when Kylie narrated what happened while on the balcony with a 4-year-old girl named Maggie.
“This little peanut right here is the whole reason that we even ended up at this bar,” Kylie said while footage of her standing with the girl played in the video. “We wanted to see Maggie perform with her Irish dancing school, the [Pennsylvania-based] McHugh School of Irish Dance.
“Please notice the raised eyebrows. This is the moment where [my] head-shake says, ‘I’m not supposed to be up here.’”

Kylie went on to explain that she Irish danced from age four until the seventh grade for the McDade School of Irish Dance, adding, “My sister did it longer and was much better.”

The field hockey coach then pointed out a smiling look on her face while dancing on the balcony.
“Take note of this look right here. That’s the ‘oh you think you’re funny’ look and I’m darting that over to the two men that volunteered me for this activity, Jason enjoying a Guinness and our dear friend Chuck. Sleep with one eye open.
“Thank you to everyone for being so supportive while I embarrassed myself and I’m out.”
The “New Heights” podcast — hosted by Jason and his younger brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — wrote in the comments: “Best series on TikTok [right now].”
Kylie captioned the post in part: “If you want timely posts, you’ve come to the wrong place.”
The mother of three posted her video four days after the event.

She previously shared videos in her “Places Kylie has no business being” series when she attended Milan Fashion Week in February.
Kylie’s second installment of the series featured her playing field hockey with two Olympic qualifying players from the USA Women’s National Team.
