Travis Kelce’s Father Ed Kelce Shares Inside Story of His Proposal to Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift recently announced her engagement to Travis Kelce, and Ed Kelce has the inside scoop. The father of the Kansas City Chiefs' football star shared what happened behind the scenes, including the preparation, the location, and more. The engagement not only took the internet by storm but also their respective families.

In a recent interview, Kelce revealed that Travis had planned the proposal for months and had originally planned to pop the question during last year's NFL season. Instead, the engagement occurred two weeks ago. Travis was considering pushing it to this week as he wanted to make it something grand, but claimed the pop singer was getting a "little antsy." Both Ed and Swift's father, Scott, shared the same sentiment when Travis was considering pushing the proposal date, saying that he could do it anywhere, and it would still be a special moment.

"He was going to put it off till this week. I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put her off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event. And I told him repeatedly, you know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event ... when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you."

Kelce also revealed that the proposal took place in Lee's Summit, Missouri, and the family received the news via FaceTime. The father admitted that he was at a Philadelphia Eagles practice when he received the news, and the moment he got the call, he immediately knew what was going to be said from the other end of the line.
