Now Swift can count both Donna and Ed Kelce as fans. Travis’s dad Ed Kelce told People that he approves of his son’s musician girlfriend, calling her “a very, very sweet, very charming, down-to-earth young woman.” Aww! Ed also called her “very smart” and was instantly impressed.
According to Ed, he noticed something special about Swift upon their first meeting and it stuck with him. “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,” he explained. “Because in the suites everybody gets stuff and you empty it down wherever you can. 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.” Travis Kelce himself is obviously impressed by Swift, too, especially when he’s on the field. In a new episode of his podcast New Heights, which he hosts with his fellow athlete brother Jason, Kelce said that it’s “good” when Swift is in the stands, given that he doubles his average yardage when she’s in attendance. “When T. Swift is at the game, you’re averaging 99 yards,” Jason told his brother. “And when you’re left with only your friends and remaining family there, you are at 46.5 yards a game.” Kelce acknowledged that he’s aware of this marked difference, and so is his coach, Andy Reid. “Kelce is getting better with time,” Reid shared over the weekend, as noted by Page Six. “Taylor can stay around all she wants.” We hope she does.
