Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may not be living with Jason and Kylie Kelce’s new German Shepherd puppy, but their voices have already shaped the family’s ongoing naming game.
Fans will remember that Taylor joined Jason and Travis last summer New heights podcast and legend debunked Jason’s claim that cats were “poisonous”.
She introduced Jason’s daughters to her own ragdoll cat, Benjamin, proving that felines were safe and winning over the kids in the process.
That moment set the stage for the Kelce household’s ongoing “cat versus dog” debate.
Fast forward to the spring of 2026 and Kylie Kelce revealed her Won’t lie podcast about the family adopting a German Shepherd puppy.
Originally named Bernadette, then Matilda, the puppy’s name changed again when Jason introduced her New heights as “Frida”, quickly nicknamed “Freddie” by the children.
Jason wasn’t done though.
“I call her Gunda because I like that name better. She’s German, right?” the 38-year-old joked with Travis.
But his daughters didn’t have it.
Six-year-old Wyatt popped into the picture to correct him: “That’s not Gunda – that’s Freddie!”
Travis gave his nieces’ choice a stamp of approval: “I like Freddie.”
Jason and Kylie’s daughters, Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finnley, 12 months, are firmly behind “Freddie.”
Kylie admitted she couldn’t resist adopting the pup after months of her children campaigning for a cat.
“I met some very cute cats, but as I’ve said a million times at this point, we’re not ready for that,” she explained.
“When I’m ready, I’m going to march my ass right back to the PSPCA and I’m going to find me a cat to come home and live in the Kelce household.”
Whether the pup’s name sticks as Frida, Freddie, or even Jason’s whimsical “Gunda,” one thing is clear: The Kelce family has embraced their furry new addition.
And thanks to Taylor Swift’s earlier cameo in the family pet saga, the story has become another playful chapter in the ever-expanding Kelce Swift universe.
