Travis’s popstar girlfriend received strong backing from the Kelce family. On July 17, 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs TE’s partner, Taylor Swift, had a suspected stalker arrested, allegedly accused of threatening the NFL’s most talked-about couple on social media. After the alleged stalker’s arrest at the entrance of Swift’s concert in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Ed Kelce, Travis Kelce‘s father, seemed overwhelmed.
The father of two Super Bowl Champion sons took to his official Facebook account to express his exasperation over the alleged stalker. The NFL TE’s dad sent an extremely harsh 3-word warning to the creepy stalker: “Love to know who this some-b***h is,” he mentioned in his Facebook post.
Ed, who is also known as “Papa Kelce,” reposted the Forbes article that confirmed the stalker’s arrest before Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, last Thursday.

For his instant and decisive stand, the patriarch of the Kelce family has been receiving applause from the Chiefs fandom. His powerful condemnation of the stalker spread massively on the internet. Many fans came forth to admire Papa Kelce’s protective stance.
One fan commented, “He is already very protective of his future daughter-in-law.” Other fans appreciated his kind conduct towards his NFL son’s girlfriend. “Iconic behavior,” a user commented. Yet another user suggested adding the NFL boyfriend’s dad to her security team, “Add Ed to her security team STAT.”
Thus, Ed Kelce’s defensive attitude towards his NFL son and his pop star girlfriend showcased his unwavering love for the fan-favorite couple. The arrest of the suspected stalker, whose identity is yet to be revealed, not only relieved Kelce’s dad but also made thousands of fans happy with the accused’s detainment.
Reportedly, the “Shake It Off” singer Swift will perform in Gelsenkirchen, as she has two more shows in the city, prompting officials to detain the accused stalker until her final show in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday. As per the Associated Press, the stalker purchased a ticket to the show that was organized at Veltins Arena.

The 34-year-old accused was, however, arrested timely as the officials proactively handled the situation after getting a tip from the event organizers. According to the local judge, he will be detained until Swift completes her residency on July 20. Swift and Kelce received positive assurance from the authorities about strict monitoring, which was a sigh of relief for the fans.
However, this was not the first time that such an incident occurred. A few months ago this year, another stalker, David Crowe, was detained for two times reportedly in three days as he lurked around Swift’s apartment.
