Kylie Kelce, just like Us, isn’t quite ready to give up TikTok in light of the potential governmental ban.

“There’s something that’s been weighing on me heavily over the past few days,” Kelce, 32, said on the Thursday, January 16, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “It looks like my favorite app, TikTok, might actually be going away for good. Hopefully, it doesn’t, and I can doom-scroll until the end of time. But, just in case, I want to properly pour one out for TikTok.”

Last year, Congress passed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which prohibits providers from “distributing, maintaining, or updating” applications that are controlled by foreign adversaries. TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, has raised concerns for the U.S. government regarding possible espionage activities. In response, ByteDance argued that the proposed ban infringes upon First Amendment rights related to free speech.

The matter was subsequently brought before the Supreme Court, which has not yet issued a formal decision regarding the enforcement of the ban. Should the ruling favor the ban, TikTok will be required to be taken down from smartphone app stores by Sunday, January 19.

While users like Us wait on SCOTUS’ ruling, Kelce is sharing her best memories of the app.

“I was a little late to the TikTok game. I joined sometime during the pandemic because I was sick of being sent TikToks by friends and not being able to watch them easily through the app,” Kylie, who is married to retired NFL star Jason Kelce, recalled. “Since then, almost three kids later, I’ve spent countless post-bedtime hours doom-scrolling. … Now, I have to ask myself, ‘What am I going to fill that time with?’”

Kylie pondered whether she ought to swap her TikTok sessions for some reading … or perhaps indulge in watching Reels on Instagram instead.

“I have no intention of returning to Facebook. I absolutely refuse; it feels like a never-ending abyss,” she joked. “Should we revive Vine? I really enjoyed those six seconds [and] it perfectly suits my ADHD. But do I allow my thoughts to spiral out of control? Absolutely not.”

Kylie mentioned that she will have a "newborn soon to provide a distraction." (She and Jason, who is 37, are anticipating the arrival of their fourth child in 2025.)

“But, then, what do I do while the newborn’s eating?” Kylie added. “During this time of grave uncertainty, I’ll try to remember the good times like when I first heard @AshleyKnock say, ‘Hey f—ers.’ It was a beautiful moment. Or when I first saw Jeremy Scheck followed me. His food truly got my mom and I through the pandemic.”

Kylie also remembered her own posts, including one of 5-year-old daughter Wyatt enthusiastically pointing out AJ Brown’s pink cleats during a Philadelphia Eagles game and other footage of Jason sleeping while she gave birth to Bennett.

“Farewell TikTok, and here's hoping we reunite on the other side of a successful sale,” Kylie wrapped up.
