Upon meeting Taylor Swift for the first time before a Kansas City Chiefs game, Ed Kelce has admitted he could not remember the pop star’s name.
One of the most famous people in the world is dating Travis Kelce, Ed’s son, and he stumbled to swiftly remember who she was.
Kelce admitted to his mental fumble to Cleveland radio station ‘92.3 The Fan.’
‘When Travis has a lot of friends coming into town to the game, everyone meets at his house, although he’s not there,’ Ed said.
‘Taylor walks in with a security guy, and I look at her, and I say [to my girlfriend], “Oh my god, I know this kid, but I don’t know what her name is.”‘
Ed Kelce and Swift have been in luxury suites together since the pop star started dating Travis
Swift and Kelce’s public relationship has gained massive interest over the last several months
‘Jeez, you know, like a real idiot,’ Kelce continued. ‘And [my girlfriend] says, “You don’t know her? This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.”‘
Ed was caught up to speed quickly on Swift before the two were seen in public together for the first time at Arrowhead Stadium.
Swift has since been routinely around the Kelce family for Travis’ games and holidays.
It is safe to say now, Swift has approval from Ed to date his tight-end son.
‘She’s very down to earth, very genuine,’ Ed Kelce said. ‘She doesn’t put on airs or anything like that…. The “girl next door” is an overused term, but she really is.
‘I mean, she’s been, you know, performing for huge crowds for over half her life. And for someone to be so grounded, and so normal. I mean, I hate to use that word, but other people aren’t.’
The next time Ed and Swift will cross paths is likely on Sunday when they are both in Baltimore for the Chiefs game against the Ravens.
