It seems like ‘Karma’ truly has come full circle as Travis Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, made an appearance at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Ed was spotted enjoying the sixth and final night of the singer’s stop in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday, where he embraced the Swiftie spirit by greeting fans and sporting a collection of friendship bracelets.
A photo shared on social media captured Ed enthusiastically trading his handmade jewelry with others, joining in on a fan tradition that originated from Swift’s song “You’re On Your Own Kid.” In the song, the lyrics mention friendship bracelets, sparking a massive trend among Swift’s fans who exchange bracelets during her shows as a symbol of camaraderie and connection.
Dressed in a gray button-up shirt paired with a dark gray suit jacket, Ed cut a dapper figure at the concert, his hair slicked back neatly. His presence added a sentimental note to an already special night for Swift, who marked her sixth and final performance at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
The evening was a landmark occasion for the artist, and Swift expressed her gratitude to the audience by announcing that they helped make her Eras Tour the first ever to play six consecutive sold-out shows at the venue.

The concert marked another milestone in what has been a record-shattering journey for Taylor Swift. With just three more shows remaining, Swift is set to conclude her incredible 149-show Eras Tour in Vancouver on December 8, almost 21 months after she began the tour back on March 17, 2023.
The journey has not only been a significant professional accomplishment for Swift but also a personal one, as she formed new connections along the way—including her relationship with Travis Kelce.
Though Travis Kelce himself wasn’t seen at the concert on Saturday, Ed Kelce’s appearance didn’t come as much of a surprise.
Ed and Taylor have developed a close bond since she began dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in July 2023. In September, Taylor Swift was seen chatting and enjoying the game with Ed Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, as she supported Travis during his first game of the 2024-2025 NFL season.
The two were seen sitting side-by-side in Travis’ private suite, sharing conversations and watching the Chiefs’ matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, seemingly comfortable in each other’s company.
The bond between Taylor and Ed Kelce has not gone unnoticed, and Ed himself has spoken warmly about Swift.
Earlier this year, Ed shared his admiration for Taylor during an interview with the Los Angeles Times, expressing how down-to-earth she is despite her immense fame. He noted that Swift’s presence at football games often attracts crowds outside the suite, with fans hoping to catch a glimpse or even meet her.
Ed praised Taylor for her graciousness, adding that while she wants to engage with fans, her security team often needs to step in to maintain her safety. He admired her for respecting those boundaries, noting, “She’s smart enough to know, ‘I’m paying these guys to keep me safe. I should probably listen to them.'”
He went on to say that if it were up to Taylor, she would likely be out mingling with fans as much as possible, illustrating her approachable and generous nature.
Ed Kelce’s remarks, along with his presence at Swift’s concert, further highlight the growing relationship between the Kelce family and Swift, as both families seem to warmly embrace each other amidst the public attention surrounding Travis and Taylor’s high-profile romance.
Saturday night’s concert was a perfect example of how the relationships formed off the stage have intertwined with Taylor’s incredible musical journey.
As she closes out the Eras Tour, fans are left not only with unforgettable performances but also with the sense that Swift’s personal life, including her blossoming relationship with Travis Kelce and his family, is adding a new chapter to her evolving story.
