Overview
- Edwards-Helaire told the Kansas City Star he answered Swift’s call during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade shooting and assured her Kelce was safe because the tight end was ill and “overserved.”
- Swift was awakened in Australia by her security team as news broke, and police later confirmed one death and 22 injuries with no NFL players hurt.
- The running back praised Kelce as a protective “big brother” who checks on teammates’ mental health and set standards for leadership off the field.
- Four months later, Swift sent her jet so Kelce could fly back from Europe to attend Edwards-Helaire’s June 2024 wedding, which he recounted as a gesture of reciprocity.
- Kelce has publicly said he is evaluating his future in football, and Us Weekly reports discussions about a possible Netflix correspondent role, which has not been confirmed by the streamer.
