Travis Kelce has his two number 1 cheerleaders: girlfriend Taylor Swift and mother Donna Kelce – in the stands during his football match on Saturday, January 13.
Donna, 71, and Swift, 34, sat side by side in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium as the Kansas City Chiefs played their first playoff game against the Miami Dolphins. Swift was seen covering her mouth as she whispered in Donna's ear.
The pop superstar was pictured arriving at the stadium wearing a custom puffer jacket designed by Kristin Juszczykwife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk. The outerwear was designed to look like Travis' jersey, and the warm layer was necessary because the Chiefs were playing in -11 degrees.
Swift completed her look with a white beanie to stay warm, while Donna had a black parka and blanket to stay warm.
“I'm in the skybox so it won't be too cold,” Donna said Additional on Saturday before the game. “But the windows are open and I'm sitting in the front row, so it's still cold. I need a blanket and I'm wearing my winter coat.'

Swift has been dating Travis since July after hearing him “cutely” reveal on his podcast “New Heights” that he was upset they hadn't met — and then exchanged phone numbers — after he went to see her Eras tour concert in Missouri. They took their romance to the next level in September when Swift attended her first Chiefs game. Swift was dressed to the nines in team merchandise and sat in a private box with Donna as Travis and the Chiefs played the Chicago Bears.
“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” Swift said TIME in an interview published earlier this month. “I think some people think they saw our first date at that game. We would never be psychotic enough to initiate a first date.”
Swift and Donna were often seen on the Jumbotron cheering on Travis. Days later, Donna hit the road Today and said their encounter was “OK.” Travis later called his mother, according to his .WSJ Magazine cover story in November, and reassured her about the comments.
“I can tell you this. He's happier than I've seen him in a long time,” Donna added.WSJ Magazine. “God bless him. He shot for the stars!”
Swift has since become a fixture at Travis' games. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves, we stand up for each other, there are other people out there and we don't care,” Swift noted. TIME. “We're just proud of each other.”
Travis' Christmas Day play was the first time Swift brought her mom along, Andreaand her brother, Austin, to Arrowhead Stadium. Her father, Scott, previously accompanied her to the Chiefs' away game in Boston in December. Austin, for his part, even brought the Christmas spirit with him, wearing a full Santa suit and holding a Chiefs flag.
“It was a full commitment. He killed it,” Travis said during the Friday, December 29 episode of his podcast. “He made me feel like a child because his gift to me came straight from the closet [Santa sack. He] handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time… Little giants.”
Meanwhile, Donna did not attend Travis' Christmas game. She was in Philadelphia babysitting her eldest son, Jason Kelceand his Eagles team's home game.
