“You can’t go that route,” Ed, who’s also a father toretiredPhiladelphia Eagles NFL player Jason Kelce, 37, added.

“You have to look beyond that. You gotta dig down and come up with something special,” he continued. “The amount of money is meaningless. You’re not going to crush Taylor Swift with a gift that cost, you know, $100,000.”
