Watch Jason Kelce Belt ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ During Appalachian State Tailgate

Turn around, bright eyes, because Jason Kelce put his spin on a 1983 classic.

In a now-viral TikTok with 1.3 million views at the time of publication, the former Philadelphia Eagles center is seen at an Appalachian State University tailgate, standing in a circle of students performing karaoke. His song of choice was Bonnie Tyler’s Hot 100 chart-topping hit, “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” and the students cheered along as he belted the cinematic chorus.

It’s a particularly musical era for Kelce, who recently released his A Philly Special Christmas Party alongside his Eagles’ offensive tackles teammates Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, marking the group’s third charitable holiday album. The festive set of tracks features the previously released collaboration with Jason, his brother Travis Kelce and Boyz II Men, “It’s Christmastime (In Cleveland Heights).” It also includes Jason’s team-up with Stevie Nicks on the cover of Ron Sexsmith’s “Maybe This Christmas.”

The 12-song album also features a sweet collaboration between Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, called “Loud Little Town,” an original song written by Brandon Beaver. 

Proceeds from the album will be used to fund Operation Snowball, a new and ambitious initiative launched alongside The Fund for the School District of Philadelphia to that aims to give a gift to every student in the Philadelphia public school system. Additionally, The Philly Specials will be donating to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Snowflake Station and the Children’s Crisis Treatment Center Toy Drive.
