The countdown is officially on for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding day. While neither Kelce nor Swift have confirmed nor denied rumors, all signs point toward Swift and Kelce’s reception taking place at Madison Square Garden on July 3.
Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, can’t wait for Swift to officially become his daughter-in-law. “I am super excited,” he told FOX 29 Philadelphia on June 24. “She is a sweetheart.”
“That is truly the girl next door,” he added. “Just like Kylie [Kelce, Jason Kelce’s wife].”
