Maureen Maguire Teases Ed Kelce About Taylor Swift
Maureen Maguire had to remind Ed Kelce of who Taylor Swift was when they first met.
In January 2024, Ed shared a rare glimpse into his relationship with Maureen on Audacy’s 92.3 “The Fan” radio show. The Kelce patriarch detailed how friends of the Kansas City Chiefs player often meet at the tight end’s house when they are in town to see a game.
Ed recalled seeing Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift, in the group of loved ones — but was shocked when he couldn’t remember her name.
“Taylor walks in with a security guy, and I look at her, and I say [to my girlfriend], ‘Oh my God, I know this kid, but I don’t know what her name is. Jeez, you know, like a real idiot,’” he shared.
Maureen, full of wit, candidly responded to him, “You don’t know her? This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.”
Maureen Maguire made Taylor Swift laugh after joking about standing too closely to Ed Kelce.
Ed, fond of Maureen’s humor, went on to share another lighthearted story about his partner in a February 2024 interview. He told a news outlet that when Maureen was getting to know Taylor, she cheekily joked with the singer about how she was standing too closely to Ed.
“Hey, that’s my boyfriend!” Maureen teased, to which the “cardigan” artist responded with laughter.
