This Isn’t What We Expected”…Fans Express Shock As Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Address Engagement Buzz: “We’re Just Enjoying The Ride”

Pop icon Taylor Swift is getting ready to celebrate her 35th birthday on December 13th.
This milestone comes after a year of unparalleled success, highlighted by her record-breaking Eras Tour. The tour, which concluded recently, mesmerized over 10 million fans across five continents. Grossing over $2 billion, it has cemented its place as the highest-grossing tour in history, surpassing even Coldplay’s iconic tour. With such achievements, it begs the question: What do you gift someone who has everything? Ed Kelce, father of Travis Kelce, tackled this dilemma with a heartfelt approach. Ed Kelce has a simple yet heartfelt approach to shopping for his son’s girlfriend’s birthday gift this year.

Travis Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce, is planning a special birthday gift for Taylor Swift. On the Dec. 12 episode of the Baskin and Phelps podcast, Ed revealed his strategy for selecting a gift for the “Shake It Off” singer’s birthday. Swift— who has been dating Ed’s son, Travis, for over a year — turns 35 on Friday, Dec. 13.

Ed explained that buying a gift for Taylor is similar to buying one for his sons, Travis and Jason: there’s nothing they want that they don’t already have. So, instead of focusing on the price tag, Ed believes the best gift is something that will tweak the strings of her heart.

Buying Taylor a present is like trying to buy Jason or Travis a present,” Ed explained on the podcast. “There’s nothing they want that they don’t already have.”
You can’t go that route,” Ed, who’s also a father to retired Philadelphia Eagles NFL player Jason Kelce, 37, added.

“You have to look beyond that. You gotta dig down and come up with something special,” he continued. “The amount of money is meaningless. You’re not going to crush Taylor Swift with a gift that cost, you know, $100,000.”

Ed also said that he needed to “get something that tweaks the strings of her heart that you spend 10 bucks on.” He added, “Then she’ll just be all gooey. You got to find something that triggers the emotion.”

In addition to discussing his birthday plans for Taylor Swift, Ed Kelce also shared his joy about being a grandfather to his son Jason’s children. He expressed immense pride in his growing family during the December 12 episode of the Baskin and Phelps podcast. Ed also took a moment to highlight the recent success of his daughter-in-law Kylie Kelce’s popular podcast, which has soared to the top of streaming platforms, even surpassing Joe Rogan’s The Joe Rogan Experience.

“I’m having a lot of fun right now between the grandkids and the boys,” Ed said, also sharing his excitement about a new grandbaby on the way.

Last year, Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday in style with a private party in New York City, surrounded by her closest friends.

The event was attended by a star-studded guest list, including Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, Jack Antonoff, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, and Este and Alana Haim. Other notable attendees included Zoë Kravitz and Antoni Porowski, making it an unforgettable celebration among Swift’s inner circle.
