Taylor Swift has gotten close with Travis Kelce‘s parents as their romance heats up — but has she met his nieces?
Travis' father, Ed Kelce, mentioned that the 33-year-old singer has not met Jason and Kylie Kelce's daughters, Wyatt (4), Elliotte (2), and Bennett (7 months) yet. In the future, when they eventually get the chance to meet, Ed anticipates a great deal of enthusiasm. Ed shared with Entertainment Tonight during an interview on Wednesday, October 25.
Ed has had the opportunity to socialize with Swift in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium, a privilege his granddaughters haven't experienced. On September 24, Swift made her debut at the Kansas City Chiefs' home stadium, showing support for Travis, 34, and his team as they emerged victorious against the Chicago Bears. During this event, Swift was spotted engaging in conversation with Donna Kelce, the mother of her new romantic interest. On the September 27 episode of their "New Heights" podcast, Jason, 35, playfully poked fun at his brother by asking, "How does it feel to finally have Taylor Swift acknowledge you?"

Travis lauded Swift during that time, commending her for attending the game, stating, "I found it admirable that everyone in the suite had only positive remarks about her. The friends and family," he effused. "She appeared stunning. ... It's certainly a game that will remain etched in my memory."
Jason has been teasing his brother about his popular dating life, especially since Swift's presence at Chiefs games has generated a lot of attention. During the team's game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, October 22, CBS showed a graphic comparing Travis' performance on the field when Swift is there to support him.
On their podcast episode on Wednesday, Jason shared with his brother, "I don't know if you're aware of this... When TSwift is at the game, your average yardage is 99 yards. But when you're left with just your friends and remaining family, your average drops to 46.5 yards a game."
Travis Kelce jokingly expressed, "How could I not have known about this?" before commending the network for incorporating Swift's "Anti-Hero" lyrics. "‘Left to his own devices,'" he added, "Well said."

Jason has freely expressed his thoughts on the influence of Swift, but Kylie has remained silent regarding her brother-in-law's relationship. However, she indirectly expressed her opinion on a TikTok theory about Swift a few weeks ago, and later posted a video in which she referred to her oldest daughter as a "Swiftie."
In September, Kylie appeared on "New Heights" just before Travis began his romantic involvement with Swift, and she offered him a particular piece of dating advice that appears to have made an impact.
"This may come across as a bit blunt," she mentioned at the moment. "However, I believe you should incorporate the mustache [in your dating app photos] because if someone swipes right when you're at your worst, then they'll adore you when you're at your best."
Both Travis and Jason - who tied the knot with Kylie in 2018 - concurred. "That doesn't even bother me, it's just logical," Travis quipped. (He has maintained the facial hair ever since.)
Ed, on the other hand, divulged to ET the valuable counsel he imparted to his sons regarding dating. "I emphasized the importance of authenticity in expressing one's feelings," he shared on Wednesday. "Respecting women has always been ingrained in them since childhood. I encouraged them to be true to themselves and sincere in handling someone's emotions. These principles have become second nature to them as they were raised with them."
