Donna Kelce was “trying not to sound too enthusiastic” but ended up seeming “underwhelmed,” according to the WSJ. Travis Kelce called his mother shortly after the “Today” interview to reassure her that she handled the questioning well, the publication added.

Now speaking more openly about her son’s relationship, Donna Kelce told the WSJ that the Chiefs player is happy.“He’s happier than I’ve seen him in a long time,” she said. “God bless him, he shot for the stars!”

During her appearance on “Today” last month, Donna Kelce played coy when asked about meeting Swift, weeks after she was photographed with the pop star at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.“It’s fairly new, so I don’t like to talk about it,” Donna Kelce said about her son’s budding romance at the time.

When asked what it was like watching some of her son’s football games with Swift, Donna Kelce responded, “It was OK.”Donna Kelce, who is also mom to Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, has since seemed to have a bit of fun with the media frenzy surrounding her son’s relationship with Swift.

Last week, she shared a meme on social media that poked fun at both of her sons with a throwback photo of the brothers from their college football days.“One of these guys is a finalist for Sexiest Man Alive and the other is dating Taylor Swift,” the meme read, referencing Jason Kelce’s recent consideration for People’s Sexiest Man Alive title. “There’s still hope for you.”

Travis Kelce’s Family Has Reportedly ‘Fully Embraced’ Taylor Swift as Relationship Flourishes

While Swifties and fans of celebrity couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are loving seeing the two’s sweet moments in Australia and Singapore lately, as the songstress is currently on tour, Kelce’s family is reportedly just as enthralled with Swift.

A source close to the couple told Us Weekly, “Both of their families love them as a couple and Taylor has become even more close with Travis’ mom, [Donna]. Taylor has really been integrated into the family.”

Going even further, they said of the Kelces, “They have fully embraced her. It’s a whole new world and chapter for her,” before claiming that Swift has particularly “enjoyed” meeting and spending time with Kylie, who is the wife of Kelce’s older brother Jason.

Swift has also spent a lot of time getting to know Kelce’s father, Ed, with the two seen together throughout Kelce’s football season as the singer attended many games.

Kelce and Swift first met soon after the former called her out last summer on his podcast, New Heights, which he hosts with Jason, noting that he tried to give Swift his number on a friendship bracelet at her Eras Tour concert but failed. Luckily, Swift heard about Kelce’s interest, and soon enough, they were hanging out together.

The couple finally went public with their romance in late September, when Swift showed up to her first football game to support her beau. She continued to cheer Kelce on throughout the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl, and now that it’s the offseason, the two have switched places.

Kelce flew to Australia and then Singapore to accompany his girlfriend to her Eras Tour shows, connecting with fans through friendship bracelets and visibly having a great time. After Singapore, Swift will have a long break from touring, during which her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, comes out on April 19.

Travis Kelce raves about seeing Taylor Swift’s ‘amazing’ ‘Eras Tour’ shows in Singapore

Travis Kelce was the ultimate hype man for girlfriend Taylor Swift during the latest shows on her “Eras Tour.”

After Kelce traveled to Australia at the end of February to watch Swift perform in Sydney on the international leg of her tour, he made his way to Asia to attend back-to-back shows at National Stadium in Singapore.

Kelce’s trip was memorable, with him revealing on the March 13 episode of his “New Heights” podcast that he “got to check out the world’s largest greenhouse.”

He noted that the “chilly” greenhouse was a nice escape from the hot temperatures outside.

“It was so lovely to go in there and just hang out in that thing and see all the plants,” Kelce added.

He said that was part of the fun he had in the country and also gushed about seeing Swift perform again.

“(I) got to see two amazing shows of the ‘Eras Tour,’ the last of the leg that Taylor has until she’s back at it here in a couple of months,” he said. The international leg of Swift’s tour is scheduled to resume May 9 in Paris.

The Super Bowl champion captured the attention of Swift’s fans on social media for his reaction to the singer’s lyric change in her song “Karma.”

The cheeky line change originated in November 2023 at a show in Argentina with Kelce in attendance as the singer changed the line from “Karma is the guy on the screen/ Coming straight home to me” to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs/ Coming straight home to me.”

In a video shared by Lara Chan on the social media site X, Kelce was spotted backstage at the stadium during Swift’s last song for the night on March 8. After Swift sang the changed lyric, the NFL star threw his hands in the air and began to wave his arms and sway his hips to the beat as he danced to the final chorus of the song.

The video was reshared on a fan account for Swift and Kelce, garnering a wide array of reactions from fans, including some users pointing out his “signature” dance moves to the song.

“Never beating proudest boyfriend ever allegations!!!!” one fan wrote on X.

Another fan responded to the caption on the post which read, “THE GUY ON THE CHIEFS,” adding, “You mean the first lady of Eras tour?”
