Imagine boarding a flight, settling into your seat, and realizing the man next to you is none other than Taylor Swift's dad! That's exactly what happened to Taylor Moore, a travel agent who scored not just a seat but also the inside scoop on what Scott Swift thinks of his daughter's whirlwind romance with NFL^® star Travis Kelce. Here's what Mr. Swift told his seatmate.

An Unlikely Connection at 30,000 Feet

Taylor Moore, who wouldn't describe herself as a hardcore Swiftie but admires the pop superstar, found herself seated next to Scott Swift on a Southwest Airlines^® flight out of New Orleans. Recognizing him immediately, Moore didn't hesitate to break the ice.

"I did say, 'Are you Taylor's dad?' and he reached in his pocket and handed me guitar picks, and he was like 'Yes, I am,'" Moore shared, as reported by Foxnews.com. And just like that, the floodgates opened.

According to Moore, Scott was ready to tell all. She didn't even have to prod him with questions — his pride in Taylor did all the talking.

Scott Swift on Taylor and Travis

One of the juiciest details Moore revealed? Scott Swift's glowing opinion of Taylor's current beau, Kansas City Chiefs^® tight end Travis Kelce. Out of all of Taylor's boyfriends over the years, Scott said, "Travis has made the biggest impact," Moore told Foxnews.com. He praised Kelce's "phenomenal family," noting that he already knew Kylie Kelce's father, Ed McDevitt, before Taylor and Travis started dating.

As reported by Foxnews.com, Moore, said, "He loves them together," adding that Scott raved about the couple and how much Travis has positively influenced Taylor.

A Proud Dad Through and Through

Scott didn't just dish on Taylor's relationship. He spent a good portion of the flight pulling out videos from her recent New Orleans shows, eagerly pointing out his favorite moments and comparing her Eras Tour's cultural impact to that of Woodstock. He said, "'I think this is going to be the big thing of our time,' which I completely agree with," Moore said, as reported by Foxnews.com.

It wasn't all music and romance, though. Scott also opened up about his own life, from attending Taylor's concerts and football games to his past work piloting private planes and running a travel agency to support the family's jet-setting lifestyle.

A Down-to-Earth Encounter

Moore couldn't help but compare the experience to chatting with her own dad. "He is the sweetest man on planet Earth," she said of the proud dad, according to The-Independent.com. She even witnessed Scott charming the flight attendants, who presented him with friendship bracelets at the end of the flight.

The Swift-Kelce Love Story Continues

As Taylor wraps up the final leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour, her relationship with Kelce has been making headlines for over a year. From her surprise appearances at his games to lyrical nods during her concerts (remember "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs?"), it's clear that Taylor and Travis are thriving — and Papa Swift is here for every moment.

For Taylor Moore, what started as a routine flight turned into a memorable brush with Swift family charm. And for Scott Swift? It was just another day of spreading pride, love, and a little Swift magic.
