Ed Kelce shared his thoughts on the Baskin and Phelps podcast.
Travis Kelce’s dad is pulling out all the stops for Taylor Swift’s big day, sharing that he has a special birthday gift in mind for the superstar.
Ed Kelce talked about his thoughtful approach to choosing the perfect gift for Taylor on the Dec. 12 episode of the Baskin and Phelps podcast. Taylor, who has been dating Ed’s son, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, for over a year, is set to celebrate his 35th birthday on Friday, December 13.
“Buying Taylor a gift is like trying to buy Jason or Travis a gift,” Ed said on the podcast, referring to retired Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce. “There’s nothing they want that they don’t already have.”
Buying someone like Taylor is definitely not an easy task, considering her life is filled with brilliant awards, sold-out shows, and incredible achievements. But Ed knows the road ahead. “You have to look beyond that,” he explained. “You have to dig and find something special.”
“The amount of money doesn’t make sense. You’re not going to crush Taylor Swift with a gift that costs, you know, $100,000,” he said. Instead, it focuses on something much more meaningful.
“You have to get something that tugs at his heartstrings and that you spend $10 on,” he continued. “Then she’ll be all gooey. You have to find something that triggers the emotion.”
Ed clearly puts a lot of thought and care into his future daughter-in-law’s birthday, showing just how much Taylor means to the Kelce family.
Taylor’s next big step caps off an incredible year. At just 34 years old, this pop superstar has reached levels of success she probably never dreamed of.
His game-changing Eras Tour mesmerized fans around the world, with 152 stops and a host of record-breaking moments. The New York Times reported that the tour grossed a staggering $2,077,618,725 in ticket sales, cementing Taylor’s status as one of the most successful artists of all time.
The Eras tour ended on a heartfelt note on Sunday, December 8 at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver. To make the finale show even more special, fans came together to sing “Happy Birthday” to Taylor, in honor of her upcoming birthday. This moment really highlighted the strong connection Taylor has with her fans, one that has only deepened with time.
When it comes to celebrating her birthday, Taylor knows how to do it right. Last year, she hosted a fun party in New York with a small group of her closest friends. The guest list was quite impressive, with stars like Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, Jack Antonoff, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Este and Alana Haim, Zoë Kravitz and Antoni Porowski.
Ed Kelce’s heartfelt approach to celebrating Taylor Swift’s birthday showcases the deep bond and warmth shared within the Kelce family. His desire to find a gift that resonates emotionally rather than materially speaks volumes about his true admiration for Taylor.
As she completes a banner year with her Eras tour and approaches her 35th birthday, Taylor’s connection with her fans and loved ones remains a shining example of her humility and grace. This special gesture from Ed Kelce not only reflects his affection, but also symbolizes the meaningful relationships that make life’s milestones truly unforgettable.
