Ed Kelce, looking sharp in a suit, was spotted exchanging friendship bracelets at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert on Saturday night, leaving Swift’s dedicated fans absolutely charmed by his involvement.
Kelce, the father of NFL star Travis Kelce—Swift’s boyfriend—traveled to Toronto, Canada, for one of the final concerts of Swift’s epic worldwide tour. A video that has since gone viral on TikTok captured Ed with numerous friendship bracelets adorning his arm, showcasing how he fully embraced the Swiftie culture by trading bracelets with other concertgoers.
The heartwarming clip shows Ed leaning over a barrier at Rogers Centre, enthusiastically exchanging bracelets with members of the crowd. This bracelet-swapping tradition has become a hallmark of the Eras Tour concerts, a way for Swifties to connect and spread joy. Ed seemed to relish being part of this experience, despite being surrounded by a sea of fans.
The TikTok video was captioned, “Drowning in bracelets and the show hasn’t even started,” and Swift’s loyal fanbase adored seeing Ed, who appeared to attend the concert solo, joining in the fun before his potential future daughter-in-law took to the stage.
“Omg he’s wearing a suit and slicked back his hair. If that isn’t just the cutest damn thing,” one user wrote, clearly touched by Ed’s classy appearance and his willingness to take part in the Swiftie tradition.
Another fan commented, “Donna gets all the credit, but this man is a gentle giant that obviously raised his boys too. Love him—so sweetly unassuming.” Many Swifties have become familiar with Travis’s mom, Donna Kelce, who has attended numerous games and events, but seeing Ed in this light was a special treat for fans.
“OMG what an angel, and he’s wearing a suit,” another fan added, while someone else posted, “He’s adorable! He’s dressed up for Tay!”
One fan summed up the collective sentiment, saying, “Why am I getting emotional over Papa Kelce trading bracelets with little Swifties?”

Ed’s participation in the Eras Tour tradition showed a touching level of support for his son’s relationship and endeared him even further to Swift’s fans.
The concert was one of the last on Swift’s expansive tour, as she wrapped up her sixth and final performance in Toronto on Saturday night. With only three shows left, all in Vancouver from December 6-8, the international phenomenon that began nearly two years ago is finally nearing its conclusion.
While Ed was enjoying the concert, Taylor Swift herself was notably absent from Travis Kelce’s latest Kansas City Chiefs game, which took place in Carolina. The Chiefs pulled off a thrilling last-minute victory against the Panthers, but Swift was unable to attend.
It wasn’t a huge surprise, given that she has not attended any of the Chiefs’ away games this season. Her commitments to the Eras Tour have kept her busy, and even when she has free time, team travel rules make it difficult for her to join Travis for games outside of Kansas City.
Swift’s next opportunity to see Travis play will be this Friday, when the Chiefs return to Kansas City for a divisional matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium. Fans are hopeful that Swift will be able to attend, especially given Travis’s recent achievements on the field.
In the game against the Panthers, Travis made history by moving into third place on the all-time NFL list for receiving yards by a tight end, with an impressive career total of 11,854 yards. It was yet another milestone for the star player, and though Swift wasn’t there in person to witness it, she’s undoubtedly proud of her boyfriend’s accomplishments.
With Ed Kelce winning over Swifties and Travis continuing to make headlines both on and off the field, the Kelce family is firmly in the spotlight.
The heartwarming interaction between Ed and Taylor’s fans is just one more example of how deeply intertwined these two worlds have become, and it’s safe to say that fans of both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce can’t get enough.
