Kylie Kelce made her admiration for Taylor Swift clear in the latest episode of her podcast, where she was joined by global music star Ed Sheeran. During their conversation, she playfully revealed that the 14-time Grammy winner is her “cheat code” to winning over the Philadelphia crowd—a city that considers Swift one of its own. The two discussed the power of celebrity presence, with Sheeran noting how some stars can instantly ignite energy in a room. He recalled how Eminem once brought him the loudest applause of his career during a 2013 concert, calling the rapper his own version of a cheat code.
When Sheeran turned the question back to Kylie, she didn’t hesitate. “Taylor,” she said confidently, explaining how the crowd erupts whenever Swift is mentioned or present, especially in Philly. Kylie also emphasized that Swift feels like “home” to that audience. Sheeran agreed, joking that Swift has the same effect just about anywhere, not just in Philadelphia.
The Shape of You singer and the Bad Karma songstress share a long-standing friendship and have collaborated on numerous songs, most notably “Endgame.” Their relationship stretches back years, with Sheeran reflecting on their tours and deeply personal conversations. He revealed that while they don’t see each other often—about four times a year—they have meaningful, hours-long catch-ups that speak to the depth of their friendship.
As for the Kelce family, their bond with Swift has only grown since she began dating Travis Kelce in 2023. By all accounts, Swift has been warmly welcomed into their circle, with Kylie and others frequently expressing support and affection for her. It’s clear that Taylor Swift isn’t just a pop culture icon to them—she’s family, and in Kylie’s world, a surefire way to win over any crowd.
