Donna Kelce says sharing Taylor Swift photo was uncalculated
When Donna Kelce posted a photo of Taylor Swift on social media, she didn't think like a PR mastermind, but rather like a proud mother.
“That was a photo of us all being so excited to be in the suite,” Travis Kelcethe mother of 71 said during an interview on Wednesday, February 7 Today. “And we were so excited that they made it to the Super Bowl that we took a picture of everyone who was there, so it wasn't a calculating thing or anything like that.”
The photo in question was taken after the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC Championship on January 28, securing their spot in Super Bowl LVIII. In the photo, Swift posed prominently front and center, surrounded by all the other people in their suite, including her ex-husband. Ed Kelce, Cara Delevingne, Keleigh Teller and more.
Donna explained that the photo featured everyone who supported the Chiefs. “It was just everyone supporting my son and I was so happy to put that picture on Facebook, yeah,” she continued Today.
After leaving the suite to celebrate with Travis, 34, on the court, Swift, also 34, stayed by Donna's side. In a video of the post-match festivities, a security guard apparently inquired about Swift's plan. She replied, “I don't know. … I'm going to do what they do [Donna] do.”
If Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are indeed endgame, she seems to have already won over her in-laws. The Grammy winner and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end began dating in the summer of 2023. In September, Swift began attending Chiefs games for the first time on October 1, 2024, where he stayed with the athlete's mother, Donna Kelce, Sat. […]
Donna and the Grammy Award winner have been spotted in suites at various games throughout the season to cheer on the tight end, but Donna doesn't expect to have such luxurious seats for the big game on Sunday, February 11 in Las Vegas. .
“You can understand that the boxes in Vegas are worth millions of dollars, so I feel like I'm not in a box,” she said with a laugh on Today. “I feel like I'm sitting in the stands. As far as I know, I'm in the stands with everyone because it's an expensive Super Bowl.”
Donna travels to Las Vegas to cheer on her son, and she's used to being the one to hop on flights across the country. Last month, Donna spoke exclusively We weekly that she usually flies to her sons during football season “because they don't have time to get on a plane and fly to Orlando.”
Donna Kelce, Wilma McNabb and more mothers of pro football players were their sons' No. 1 fans long before their NFL days. Travis and Jason Kelce's mother was in the spotlight leading up to Super Bowl LVII in February 2023, which marked the first time the brothers played against each other in the championship game. […]
However, she gets the most time with them during football season. “They're on the move 24/7, whether it's football or something else, like other leagues,” she explained, telling us that her sons' “New Heights” podcast also keeps them “really, really busy.”
She said Us“They're just exhausted, so I don't see them that often [in the offseason].”
Happy, eldest son Jason Kelce made time for her during the NFL Pro Bowl. Jason, 36, and wife Kylie Kelce were joined by Donna and Ed as they took their three daughters (Wyatt, 4, Ellie, 2, and Bennett, 11 months) to Disney World.
“Top recommendation [for amusement parks]: Have a Mama Kelce,” Kylie said in a video via X.
