Travis Kelce’s Dad’s Three-Word Response to Taylor Swift Marriage Claim
Travis Kelce’s father has shared his thoughts on a marriage rumor surrounding his son and Taylor Swift.
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis began dating the singer in July, with the couple going public about their romance in September.
Although the pair have been together less than a year, engagement rumors are already swirling. However, a bizarre conspiracy theory about the couple has also taken off online.
In a post to Instagram on April 12, @ifintersectionalfeminism wrote: “A televangelist from Arkansas claims Satan is engineering Taylor Swift’s marriage to Travis Kelce so she can give birth to the antichrist and launch the apocalyptic thousand-year war against Christ.
“Must she do everything? And during a world tour?” the poster added. The claim has been making the rounds online for months, although the rumor is unverified and the reported televangelist is not named.
However, Travis’s father, Ed Kelce, appears to find the claim hilarious. In a comment on @ifintersectionalfeminism’s post on Thursday, the former sales executive wrote: “That’s my boy!”
Sports fans were in hysterics, with Lisa Burt writing: “You’re the best. Be my dad.”
“Love it,” agreed @nature.luuver.
Papa Kelce… The GOAT [greatest of all time],” posted @moonlight.fascinations.
Newsweek has reached out to Ed Kelce for comment via Instagram.
Although this conspiracy theory is unsubstantiated, similar claims were made about the pop star and Kelce in November.
Self-declared “MAGA Prophet” Hank Kunneman, who runs the Lord of Hosts Church in Nebraska, accused Swift of performing “satanic rituals and witchcraft” during concerts.
The 57-year-old also questioned the 34-year-old Grammy winner’s relationship with Kelce, dubbing the Chiefs’ tight end “Mr Pfizer” over his advertising campaign with the pharmaceutical brand.
The 34-year-old starred in a commercial in September to encourage people to get their flu shot at the same time as their COVID-19 booster jab. It caused uproar among conservatives such as Outkick host Tomi Lahren and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
This isn’t the first time Ed Kelce has grabbed attention with his social-media activity. The father-of-two trolled his son Jason Kelce on Instagram, following the former Philadelphia Eagles center’s antics at the Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game in January.
After the Chiefs scored a touchdown, Jason ripped off his shirt and jumped into the crowd to high-five fans, with a screenshot of the moment taking over the internet.
Ed shared a meme of Jason, where the 36-year-old had been photoshopped into the famous battle scene from Mel Gibson’s 1995 historical epic Braveheart.
“Jason fighting for Scotland’s freedom,” he captioned the post, much to football fans delight.
“Classic!!” commented one user, while another posted: “Big Ed wins the internet today!”
Ed Kelce seems to have given Swift his seal of approval, with the “Antihero” singer appearing to call him “Dad” in a video filmed following the Chiefs vs. the Baltimore Ravens game in January

“When Travis Kelce arrived quietly at the private memorial service in Dallas, no one expected the Chiefs’ tight end to turn the somber gathering into a moment that would be remembered forever. ▶️ WATCH THE VIDEO: As Marshawn Kneeland’s father sat in the front row holding a framed photo of his son, his hands trembling, Travis approached — not as a football superstar, but as a teammate, a brother, and a man who understood the weight of loss. Placing one arm gently around Kneeland’s father’s shoulders, Travis spoke softly, his voice steady yet full of emotion: “Marshawn Kneeland wasn’t just a player on our team — he was the soul of it. His energy, his laughter, his fight… they’ll stay with us every time we step on that field.” For a moment, the chapel fell completely silent. Then Travis lowered his head, offering a quiet prayer. His words, unspoken yet deeply felt, carried through the room — a promise that Marshawn’s spirit would live on through the game he loved and the men who played beside him. By the time Travis stepped back, tears filled the eyes of teammates, family, and friends alike. In that small chapel, it wasn’t about football anymore. It was about brotherhood, grief, and the kind of love that refuses to fade — even after the final whistle.”
