With Taylor Swift’s 35th birthday approaching this Friday, Ed Kelce, father of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, revealed his intention to find a uniquely meaningful gift for the global superstar. Swift, who just concluded her record-breaking Eras Tour, is not only one of the most recognized artists in the world but also one of the wealthiest, with a net worth of $1.6 billion according to Forbes.
Ed, who has grown close to Swift during her budding relationship with his son, understands that choosing a gift for someone who seemingly has it all requires more than a hefty price tag.
The Quest for Sentimental Value
Speaking on the Baskin & Phelps show on Cleveland’s 92.3 The FAN, Ed explained his approach to finding a heartfelt present.
“In terms of buying Taylor a present, it’s like trying to buy Jason and Travis a present,” he began, referencing his two accomplished sons. “There’s nothing they want that they don’t already have. There’s nothing they’re thinking they might get that they haven’t already figured out. You can’t go that route. You have to look beyond that and dig down to come up with something special.”
When one of the hosts suggested a bottle of fine wine as a potential gift, Ed made it clear that he was aiming for something deeply sentimental rather than material.
“The amount of money is meaningless,” he said. “You’re not gonna impress Taylor Swift with a gift that costs $100,000. But get something that tweaks the strings of her heart, even if you spend $10, and she’ll be all gooey.”

A Blossoming Relationship
Since Swift and Travis Kelce began dating last year, the “Cruel Summer” singer has become a regular presence at Chiefs games, often seen enthusiastically supporting her boyfriend from the stands alongside his parents, Ed and Donna. Her genuine enthusiasm for Travis’s football career has endeared her to fans and family alike.
With her monumental Eras Tour finally coming to an end last weekend in Vancouver, Swift is expected to attend more of Travis’s games for the remainder of the NFL season. The couple has managed to navigate their high-profile relationship with grace, balancing their individual careers while maintaining a supportive and affectionate bond.
Travis Praises Taylor’s Achievements
The conclusion of Swift’s Eras Tour marked the end of an incredible 20-month journey that saw 149 performances across the globe. The tour grossed a staggering $2.2 billion, solidifying its place as the highest-grossing tour of all time. Despite the scale of her success, Swift has remained grounded, earning praise from her boyfriend for her hard work and artistry.
On the New Heights podcast, which Travis co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, he expressed his admiration for Swift and the team behind her tour.
“Shoutout to everybody who was part of that show. Obviously, it’s her music, it’s her tour, but that was a full production, man,” Travis said. “It was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people. But mostly because of Taylor!”
A Special Birthday Ahead
As Swift’s birthday approaches, the anticipation surrounding Ed Kelce’s thoughtful gift adds an extra layer of intrigue to her celebrations. His commitment to finding something that “tweaks the strings of her heart” underscores the strong bond that has developed between Swift and the Kelce family.
For fans, the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continues to be a source of fascination and joy, as the couple balances their individual successes with a growing connection that extends to their loved ones.
Whether it’s cheering from the stands or sharing moments off the field, the Kelce-Swift bond is proving to be one of genuine affection and admiration.
