Even though Travis Kelce couldn’t be at any of Taylor Swift’s Toronto, Canada, Eras tour shows, he still had a family member in attendance. The football star’s dad, Ed Kelce, showed up for the final show in Toronto on Saturday, November 23.
Fans spotted Ed, 72, in the crowd and filmed him trading friendship bracelets with those standing near him. “Drowning in bracelets and the show hasn’t started,” one fan pointed out on TikTok, along with a video of Ed with bracelets on both arms. He also patiently took photos with some fans and stopped to chat before the show.
“Ed Kelce flying to Canada with his bad knees, slicking his hair back, wearing a suit jacket, trading friendship bracelets and taking selfies with Swifties has me feeling VERY EMO,” one person wrote on X, while another gushed, “out of all the family.. Ed Kelce has me tearing up. Love that sweet man.”
Taylor, 34, has gotten to spend plenty of time with Travis’ parents – Ed and Donna Kelce – at her boyfriend’s football games throughout the past year. Meanwhile, Donna, 72, attended her very first Eras tour show in October when Taylor performed in Miami. She was at the concert with Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, along with two of the couple’s three daughters (Kylie, 32, announced on November 22 that they’re now also expecting baby No. 4, another little girl).

The November 23 show was the last of six shows in Toronto. The tour will now head to Vancouver for its final three shows on December 6, 7, and 8, wrapping a 152-date run that spanned nearly two full years.
The end of the tour will free Taylor up to support Travis, 35, and the Chiefs in the final stretch of the NFL season. The team is hoping to win its third Super Bowl in a row in 2025, which would make them the first team to do so. Due to his busy schedule, Travis hasn’t been able to attend many Eras tour shows in recent months, although he did pop up in Indianapolis on November 2 to see the concert one last time.
“I wanted to see Tay one more time before this thing got closed up,” he said on his “New Heights” podcast. “I’ll tell you what, man, the American crowds … they did not disappoint. I heard that it was a lot more rowdy this time around, knowing she was coming back to stop through America one last time before the tour was over with, and I’ll tell you what, man, that thing was rocking. Absolutely rocking.”
Although Travis attended his first Eras tour show in July 2023 before he was even dating Taylor, they didn’t go public with their romance until after the first U.S. leg wrapped later that summer. After they confirmed the relationship in September 2023, he attended concerts in South America, Australia, Asia and Europe before making it to one of the final North America shows.
