Taylor Swift is “tough to shop for” — but Jason Kelce has the perfect Christmas gift in mind.
The former Philadelphia Eagles player revealed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Thursday that his only option is to give the Grammy winner something “handmade.”
Kelce, 37, explained that Swift, 34, and his brother, Travis Kelce, both “can have anything that they want,” as their respective net worths are $1.6 billion and $52 million, according to Forbes.
When Jimmy Kimmel asked Jason whether he often makes “sentimental” gifts, he replied, “I’ve never done it, but I think it can work really well. I’ve got something up my sleeve. A macaroni necklace … works on me with my kids.”
The host, 57, joked, “It’d be funny if you made Taylor a macaroni necklace and all the sudden millions of girls are wearing macaroni necklaces. … Buy stock in macaroni.”
Jason agreed, “Friendship macaroni necklaces. We just started a trend.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the ESPN analyst announced he will host a late-night show for the network.
“We’re going to have a bunch of guys up there — legends of the game, friends that I played the game with, coaches, celebrities,” he said. “It’s going to be a celebration.”
The program, “They Call It Late Night,” will premiere on Jan. 4.
Jason expressed doubts that his “busy” sibling will make an appearance since his relationship with Swift is a “priority” — but teased, “Maybe … we can sneak him on for an episode.”

The Kansas City Chiefs player, 35, shot to fame last summer when he began dating the pop star.
Not only did his and Jason’s “New Heights” podcast pick up in popularity, but the tight end also got gigs hosting “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” and acting in Ryan Murphy’s “Grotesquerie.”
Jason, for his part, retired in March after 13 seasons with the NFL and has been working as an analyst since September.
He made headlines earlier this month for getting into a heated interaction with a fan and slamming the college student’s phone to the ground.
On Thursday, Jason was confronted with another autograph seeker screaming obscenities at him after leaving Kimmel’s set but was able to deescalate that situation.
