Travis Kelce’s Mom Reveals Why Taylor Swift Is His Perfect Match
Donna Kelce opened up about her son Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift during the premiere of “Grotesquerie” in New York City on Monday, September 23, 2024. Donna, the proud mother of the Kansas City Chiefs star, expressed her thoughts on the couple’s high-profile romance, calling it “kind of interesting.” She shared how she sees her son as an ideal match for the pop icon.
“He’s a good guy. He really is. He’s kind, generous, and from what I understand, so is she,” Donna gushed. Her words reflect the warmth and approval she feels toward her son’s blossoming relationship with one of the world’s biggest music stars.
The conversation unfolded as Donna attended the premiere of “Grotesquerie,” a new FX series in which Travis is making his acting debut. When asked about her son’s venture into acting, Donna’s excitement was palpable. “It’s so awesome. Just to be able to see your kids do what they love, and hopefully, this is something he enjoys. I know he wanted to try acting, so we’ll see how it goes,” she said proudly.
Donna, who is also the mother of retired Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, offered a glimpse into her parenting philosophy. She has always told her children, “If you do something you love, you will get really good at it.” Her advice seems to have shaped both of her sons’ careers, as they’ve each achieved remarkable success in their respective fields.
Travis Kelce’s career has seen a meteo
ric rise in the last few years. Alongside his brother, Jason, they’ve claimed a combined four Super Bowl victories and launched the popular podcast “New Heights.” But the spotlight on Travis intensified even more when he started dating Taylor Swift last year. Their relationship has captivated both the sports and entertainment worlds.
Donna acknowledged that the couple’s fame has created a whirlwind of attention. She described how everything shifted when both her sons’ teams were good enough to meet in the Super Bowl. In February 2023, Travis’s Chiefs faced off against Jason’s Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, where the Chiefs secured a 38-35 victory. “It’s just been taking off,” Donna said, marveling at how much has changed over the past couple of years. The success in football, the podcast, and Travis’s relationship with Taylor Swift have all contributed to the Kelce family’s rise in public prominence.
Though Taylor Swift wasn’t present at Travis’s recent game against the Atlanta Falcons, where the Chiefs won 22-17, she has made several appearances at his games since last fall. Swift has often been spotted sitting with Donna and her husband, Ed Kelce, cheering Travis on from the stands. This support seems to have strengthened the connection between the two women, and Donna’s warm approval of Taylor was on full display at the premiere.
For the season opener earlier this month against the Baltimore Ravens, Donna made headlines by wearing a custom baseball cap that paid tribute to both Travis and Taylor. The cap was decorated with holly sprigs and white cosmos flowers, symbolizing the couple’s birth months, October and December, respectively. It was a sweet gesture that further highlighted Donna’s support for the relationship.
As Donna shared her thoughts with Page Six at the “Grotesquerie” premiere, she remained hopeful that Travis and Taylor are enjoying their time together. “I hope they’re having a good time,” she said with a smile.
The relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift has captured the public’s imagination, and Donna’s comments only add to the intrigue. As Travis continues to shine on the football field and now ventures into acting, it’s clear that his mom couldn’t be prouder. And with Taylor Swift by his side, it seems Donna has found the perfect partner for her son.
“Grotesquerie” premieres Wednesday on FX, where fans can see a new side of Travis Kelce as he takes on the world of acting. Whether he will love this new endeavor as much as he loves football remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: Donna Kelce will be there to support him every step of the way.
