Ed Kelce has refused to let any family drama dim his joy as he stepped into the spotlight at a New Jersey fundraiser on June 24, making it clear that he cannot wait for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding. His warm words come even as word on the street was that Swift’s inner circle once maintained distance out of fear he might accidentally spill secrets. With the couple’s wedding allegedly clinched for July 3 at Madison Square Garden — with street closures and a 1,000-guest blowout in place — the countdown is on, and everyone, along with father Kelce, is excited.
Ed Kelce calls Taylor Swift ‘girl next door’ at Eagles fundraiser as July 3 wedding with Travis Kelce nears
At Jason Kelce’s Team 62 event at Ocean Drive, a fundraiser for the Eagles Autism Foundation, Ed Kelce spoke to FOX29 Philadelphia, not holding back about his excitement for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.
Father Kelce said he was “super excited.” Moreover, he called Swift “a sweetheart that is truly the girl next door, just like, just like Kylie,” comparing the pop star to Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce.
Ed also used the moment to reflect on how both his sons use their platforms for good. He said, “They have made a point of giving back to the community,” adding, “I don’t think that’s a charge so much as it is a responsibility to accept along with the paycheck, you know what I’m saying?” The event brought Eagles players, legends, cheerleaders, and mascot SWOOP together in support of autism programs.
Why Taylor Swift’s team originally shut out Ed Kelce
Ed learned about his son’s engagement to Swift in a very modern way. He told News 5 Cleveland that he was at a Philadelphia Eagles public practice when a FaceTime call came in from Travis and Swift, recalling, “As soon as I saw the FaceTime, I saw it was Travis, and then I saw Taylor there with him, I knew what they were going to say.” Additionally, he revealed that Travis proposed almost two weeks before the news made it to the couple’s Instagram.
Despite Ed Kelce’s obvious happiness, sources close to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding planning had told outlets that Swift’s team intentionally kept the patriarch in the dark, allegedly viewing him as a “loose cannon” after he shared details about the engagement on television. Insiders claimed Swift’s team completely withheld the venue, dates, and security logistics from him to prevent any accidental leaks. However, Ed’s heartfelt comments at the Shore fundraiser appeared to squash any lingering bad blood, publicly reinforcing that he is nothing but supportive.
All eyes on Madison Square Garden for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July 3 wedding
TMZ reports that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will hold their wedding ceremony on July 3 in the “middle of Manhattan,” and all signs point to Madison Square Garden. The arena’s calendar is completely blank from June 29 through July 6. New York City’s Street Activity Permit Office has an active filing to close surrounding streets from July 2 to midday July 4, clearing the way for a massive public staging tent.
Furthermore, the New York Times reports a two-part celebration, including an intimate 100-guest gathering on July 2, followed by a blowout for more than 1,000 guests on July 3. Safe to say, this celebrity wedding will go down in history.
