Travis Kelce’s father discusses Taylor Swift’s ‘extremely gracious’ demeanor
Once again, Ed Kelce has a vested interest in the Super Bowl — his son Travis is an All-Pro tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs — but this one feels so much different than last year.
There’s the cyclone of interest surrounding Taylor Swift, of course, Travis Kelce’s superstar girlfriend. That has changed everything.
But then there’s this year’s matchup between Kansas City and San Francisco. It was so much last year when Travis was facing his older brother, Jason, and the Philadelphia Eagles. That was emotional for everyone involved.
“I know who I’m rooting for this year,” said Ed, patriarch of the family. “Last year, I had no favorites.”

Ed Kelce spoke exclusively Saturday to the Los Angeles Times, over coffee at his hotel, about the excitement his younger son feels, the support shared by the brothers, and the supercharged interest — yet disarming down-to-earth normalcy — of the world’s biggest musical star.
