Ed Kelce is looking forward to seeing his son Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift progress.

Ahead of Travis’ Super Bowl matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Feb. 9, Ed spoke with Australia’s Today show on Thursday, Feb. 6, and opened up about his thoughts on the A-list pairing.

“I think we get past the Super Bowl, I think it’s going to be a very good time for the two of them without the NFL season, without the Eras tour, just them alone really connecting more,” Ed said of Taylor and Travis. “I think that can only be a good thing.”

Calling the “Fortnight” singer a “joy to be around,” the dad of Travis and Jason Kelce noted that the pop star has been entrenched in football over the past year.

“She’s learning much more about football,” he said. “She’s watching football with her dad a lot. She’s watching football whenever she can.”

As for whether or not she’ll take the stage with Kendrick Lamar during the halftime performance, Ed insisted he didn’t have the first clue.

“I have no idea. I haven’t talked to Taylor this week,” he said. “I have no idea what her plans are. I would let her publicist talk to you about that.”

Another topic he won’t touch — a potential wedding date for the couple.

“Did you really think I was going to come up with that?” he teased.

Since they first started dating in 2023, Taylor has attended many of Travis’ games in the private box at Arrowhead Stadium with both Ed and Travis’ mom Donna Kelce.

Jason previously confirmed to PEOPLE that the Grammy winner would also be in attendance at the Super Bowl.

“I mean, I don’t want to speak for everybody, but I think obviously, our whole family. I believe, obviously Trav and Taylor, and his family and his friends. I mean, Trav always travels like, full,” he told PEOPLE of his younger brother.
