SURPRISING CONFESSION: Travis Kelce’s Dad Didn’t Know Taylor Swift’s Name Before Meeting in Kansas City

When Ed Kelce, the father of NFL star Travis Kelce, had his first encounter with global pop sensation Taylor Swift before a Kansas City Chiefs game, he experienced an unexpected memory lapse. Despite Swift’s worldwide fame, Ed stumbled to recall her name during their initial meeting.

Kelce candidly confessed this amusing incident during an interview with Cleveland radio station ‘92.3 The Fan,’ where he recounted the memorable encounter. He described the situation, saying, “When Travis has a lot of friends coming into town for the game, everyone gathers at his house, even though he’s not there.”

As Taylor Swift entered the scene with a security escort, Ed Kelce couldn’t quite place her name. He shared his bewilderment with his girlfriend, saying, “Oh my god, I know this kid, but I don’t know what her name is,” adding, “Jeez, you know, like a real idiot.” It was his girlfriend who promptly reminded him, “You don’t know her? This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.”

After this humorous initial encounter, Ed quickly became acquainted with Swift, and they have since been seen together at Arrowhead Stadium during Travis Kelce’s games and holiday gatherings with the Kelce family.

It’s safe to say that Ed Kelce approves of his son’s relationship with Swift, as he described her as down-to-earth and genuine. He praised her for not putting on airs despite her extensive career in performing for large crowds since a young age.

Their paths are likely to cross once again when both Ed and Swift attend the Chiefs’ game against the Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday.
