Swifties Can't Keep Calm About Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Romantic Detour After Concert in Singapore

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have taken center stage in the NFL world with their fiery romance. It certainly appears to go a long way as Kelce’s father Ed detailed his encounter with the pop star at the Chiefs game.

In his talk with ‘People Magazine’, Travis Kelce’s dad Ed made quite the revelations about his first meetup with Taylor Swift. He specifically referred to a Chiefs game where Swift made a heartwarming gesture. This caused him to realize that Swift wasn’t just some other spoiled musician.

Ed Kelce Sheds Light On His Thoughts About Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce’s father Ed engaged in one of the first interviews since Travis Kelce started dating the pop star, Taylor Swift. In his conversation with the PEOPLE, Ed spoke rather impressively of his son’s girlfriend.

“Karma” singer is “a very, very sweet, very charming, down-to-earth young woman,” he added.

Ed shares that he had a positive impression of Swift finding her ‘very genuine’. As opposed to the spoiled image of stars, Ed shared an incident that confirmed his positive outlook on her. 

“We’re sitting in the suite, she gets up and in the front room, she gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around. Because in the suites everybody gets stuff and you empty it down wherever you can,” shared Ed. 

The incident spoke volumes of her character to Kelce’s father who believed she was a poised and sweet human after all. Articulating his opinion for her, Ed added,

“And I’m just thinking, I don’t think she got the diva memo. She didn’t get the spoiled musician. She doesn’t know how to pull that off. And that really to me, said a whole lot.”

Throwing more light on his thoughts, Ed praised Taylor Swift for being a ‘smart’ person which is reflected strongly. Interestingly, this is the first time that anyone from the Kelce family has spoken openly about Swift. Additionally, her appearances alongside the Kelces confirm that the couple’s connection has been welcomed by the family.

Travis Kelce Was Terrified To Watch His Dad Talk To Taylor Swift

The Kelce family seems as excited about welcoming Swift as Travis’ girlfriend as the rest of the football community does. After Swift was spotted on the stand with Kelce’s mother Donna, she was seen conversing with Ed on Oct. 12. In his time on the podcast ‘New Heights’, Travis along with his brother Jason Kelce engaged in an amusing conversation discussing their encounter calling it ‘momentous’ and ‘terrifying’

Travis talked about his dad saying,

“He is a great converser. That’s where Jason gets his storytelling and a lot of his charisma.” 

Later in the conversation, Travis talks about his father’s attempt to whole-heartedly welcome Swift. He mentions that Ed has been trying to pump up Taylor Swift since their dating reports hit the media.

“All he is doing is just absolutely pumping her up. He started listening to her music a little more.”

Taylor Swift has succeeded in making her presence felt in the Kelce family whether it is mom Donna, father Ed, or in the conversation among the brothers. As the couple strides forward in their romance, all eyes are stuck on their story in the making.
