Taylor Swift isn’t exactly like us – she’s better. In his first interview since his son Travis Kelce went public with the “Karma” singer, Ed Kelce revealed to People Magazine the moment that showed him what kind of person Swift is.
“I’ll tell you something very special that I noticed about Taylor when I first met her,” Ed shared with the outlet. “We’re sitting in the suite, she gets up and in the front room she gets up to get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles and cans and plates that are lying around. Because in the suites everyone gets things and you empty them wherever you can.”
“And I just think, I don’t think she got the diva memo,” he continued. “She didn’t get the spoiled musician. She doesn’t know how to do it. And that really said a lot to me.”
In footage from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City: Posted on X (the social platform formerly known as Twitter), Kelce Sr. was seen chatting with Swift. It was the fourth consecutive Kansas City Chiefs game that Swift participated in, and the team continues its winning streak.
The father of two called Swift “a very, very sweet, very charming, down-to-earth young woman,” adding, “She’s very smart.” I mean, very. That comes across immediately.”
After having her own bonding experience with Swift, Kelce matriarch Donna recently spoke out about criticism that the NFL is devoting too much time to the singer during its game broadcasts. “All I can tell you is the NFL is laughing all the way to the brim,” Donna said. “You know what I mean? Good for them. They feel the consequences of everything.”

She noted that she thinks it’s “pretty cool” that young Swift fans are switching to soccer because of the singer’s interest. “I can tell you that they have told me personally that the Kelce family has done more good PR for football than they could have paid a million dollars to a PR firm,” Donna confirmed.
The couple themselves appear to be doing well, based on backstage photos from Sunday’s game that a friend posted on Instagram, and from their recent weekend in New York, where the couple can be seen walking hand in hand while hanging out in New York City saw. They also made surprise appearances on Saturday Night Live. Taylor Swift introduced musical guest and her friend and collaborator Ice Spice during her second song of the night, “Pretty Girl” featuring Rema. Meanwhile, Kelce made a cameo appearance in the same episode during host and SNL alum Pete Davidson’s sketch, in which he played a sideline reporter obsessed with Swift’s appearances at games.
