You might know Jordan Mailata as the powerhouse offensive tackle from the Philadelphia Eagles, but this past weekend, fans saw an entirely different side of him — one that can serenade a crowd just as smoothly as he can block defenders.
While backstage at a country concert in Philadelphia, Mailata stunned the room with an incredible performance of Chris Stapleton’s hit song “Tennessee Whiskey.”
And yes, Stapleton himself was there — and he approved.
A Surprise Performance That Had Everyone Talking
The impromptu concert moment happened on Saturday night, behind the scenes at Lincoln Financial Field, where country legend Chris Straight headlined a star-studded show.
Stapleton, performing as the support act, was also hanging out backstage when Mailata took the mic and absolutely owned his soulful rendition.
A video shared on TikTok by reporter Jennifer Johnson captured the magical moment — and it quickly made waves online.
Even former Eagles teammate Jason Kelce was there, visibly stunned by Mailata’s hidden talent.
Stapleton himself gave a nod of approval with a handshake, showing he was just as impressed as everyone else.
Not Mailata’s First Rodeo With a Microphone
If you’re wondering where these vocal chops came from, this actually isn’t Mailata’s debut in the singing world.
Eagles fans will remember his voice from the team’s charity Christmas albums, where he regularly joins teammates like Kelce and Lane Johnson.
He also appeared on The Masked Singer back in Season 7, performing under the costume name “Thingamabob.”
Clearly, this man is just as comfortable under stage lights as he is in the NFL spotlight.
The Philly Specials and Mailata’s Musical Journey
Mailata’s love of music runs deeper than just guest appearances.
Alongside Kelce and Lane Johnson, he formed a musical trio called The Philly Specials — a playful nod to the Eagles’ iconic trick play during their Super Bowl win.
Their holiday albums have become a fun tradition for fans, showing that football toughness and festive cheer can absolutely coexist — especially when you’ve got pipes like Mailata’s.
A Weekend Full of Friends, Fun, and a Little Golf
Mailata wasn’t just sticking to music this weekend, though.
On Sunday, he showed up to support his good friend and PGA Tour pro Tony Finau, proving once again that he’s all about celebrating the talents of others as much as his own.
Meanwhile, his buddy Jason Kelce was busy enjoying a cozy Mother’s Day brunch in the city.
He was joined by his wife Kylie, brother Travis Kelce, their mom Donna, and yes — Taylor Swift and her mom Andrea.
Now that’s one seriously star-studded brunch table.
