Ed Kelce Calls Taylor Swift a 'Girl Next Door' Days Before MSG Wedding

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are set to marry at Madison Square Garden next month, and the groom's father has already delivered his verdict on the bride.

Travis Kelce, 36, and Taylor Swift, 36, are reported to be tying the knot at Madison Square Garden.
Ed Kelce, Travis's father, described Swift as a 'girl next door' in comments made days before the reported ceremony.
The nuptials are expected to take place in New York City next month.
Both Kelce and Swift are 36 years old at the time of the reported wedding.
Madison Square Garden seats approximately 20,000 people, though the guest list remains undisclosed.

Ed Kelce went on record this week calling his son's soon-to-be wife a “girl next door,” the kind of characterization that lands differently when the girl next door has sold out that same building seventeen times.

Travis Kelce, 36, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, and Taylor Swift, 36, Grammy-winning recording artist, are reported by Page Six to be planning a wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with the ceremony expected sometime next month.

Ed Kelce's comments came in an interview published June 25, days ahead of the reported date, in which the elder Kelce offered his assessment of the pairing. He did not specify which entrance to 4 Pennsylvania Plaza he plans to use.

Swift has performed at MSG on multiple occasions across multiple tours. The venue's standard capacity runs to roughly 20,000 depending on configuration. Neither representatives for Swift nor for Travis Kelce had issued a public statement confirming the date, the venue, or the seating chart as of the time of filing.

Ed Kelce's description of “girl next door” was not further defined. Madison Square Garden is located in Midtown Manhattan.
