Taylor Swift was given a playful telling off by the late girlfriend of Ed Kelce not long after they were introduced.
Maureen Maguire died on Friday at the age of 74. According to her obituary, she was surrounded by loved ones.
Ed Kelce, the father of NFL legends Travis and Jason, posted the obituary on his Facebook page but has not otherwise commented on her death.
Eighteen months ago, however, Kelce Sr. lifted the lid on a hilarious interaction between Maguire and the pop sensation, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis.
Shortly after meeting the Kelce family, Swift posted for a picture with Ed and cuddled up to her partner’s dad.
‘Hey,’ Maguire warned with faux-jealously. ‘That’s my boyfriend!’ The comment, revealed by Ed to the LA Times in 2024, drew a laugh from Swift.

The pop star has built a close bond with Ed Kelce, who told the Daily Mail last month: ‘She is a very special person… one of the most giving and caring people I’ve ever met.’
But Travis’ father didn’t recognize Swift when they first crossed paths a couple of years ago.
The Chiefs tight end often invites friends over to his Kansas City home before NFL games and one day Swift walked in with her security guard.
‘Oh my god, I know this kid, but I don’t know what her name is,’ Ed said at the time. ‘Taylor Swift, you idiot,’ Maureen replied.
On Sunday, Ed shared pictures of Swift and Maguire as he mourns her death. One showed the three of them in Kansas City Chiefs merch, with the singer holding a card and what appears to be a friendship bracelet.
Kelce also shared a photograph of him and Maguire from Saturday Night Live in March 2023, when three-time Super Bowl winner Travis was the guest host.
