On Saturday, November 23, Ed was seen enjoying a memorable evening at Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Toronto, exchanging friendship bracelets with enthusiastic Swifties. This iconic accessory, a hallmark of the singer’s concerts, turned into a bridge of connection between the Kelce patriarch and the fans.
A TikTok video captured Ed trading bracelets with fans at the Rogers Centre, his arm already stacked with the colorful trinkets. The caption humorously remarked, “Drowning in bracelets and the show hasn’t even started.” Photos shared by attendees further showcased Ed’s interactions, as he warmly chatted with concert-goers and embraced the joyous atmosphere.
Adding to the spectacle, another fan-recorded clip showed Ed alongside Andrea Swift, Taylor’s mother, in the VIP section during her performance of Cruel Summer. While Andrea danced to the beats, Ed was seen mouthing the lyrics, suggesting a growing familiarity with Taylor’s music.

Reflecting on their early interactions, Ed shared in October how impressed he was by Taylor’s down-to-earth demeanor. Recalling their first meeting, he noted her initiative in tidying up a room, adding, “I don’t think she got the diva memo. She’s very smart and genuine.”
