Donna Kelce is in full football mom mode again!
Kelce, 71, cheered on her son Travis Kelce alongside his girlfriend Taylor Swift as his defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday.
The retired banking executive and mother of two NFL players (tight end Travis, 34, and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, 36, was spotted rooting for Travis at Arrowhead Stadium during the NFL wild-card game.
Donna wore red glasses to support the Chiefs at the game, where temperatures dipped below zero degrees. When she’s cheering on Jason and the Eagles, she wears green glasses.
The cheering section included Swift, who celebrated her 34th birthday in December, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany. At one point during the action, Swift leaned in to whisper something in Donna’s ear.
Donna and the “Anti-Hero” singer have previously supported Travis at past games, including the Chiefs’ Dec. 10 game at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Buffalo Bills defeated the hometown team 20-17.
Before Swift started dating Donna’s son and later attended her first game on Sept. 24, Donna made headlines in February 2023 when both of her NFL sons competed against each other in Super Bowl LVII a.k.a the Kelce Bowl. The Chiefs won the championship game 38-35.
“It’s been a ride. That’s for sure,” Donna told PEOPLE for the magazine’s 25 Most Intriguing People of the Year list. “Sometimes I feel I’m on some kind of a different planet. I’m like, ‘What has my life become?’ “
Travis Kelce’s Mom Regrets The Way She Handled A Taylor Swift Question
Donna Kelce, the mother of the Kansas City Chiefs player, previously said on “Today” that meeting the pop star was “OK.”
Travis Kelce’s mom has regrets about the way she previously handled a question on Taylor Swift.
In a Monday profile of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, The Wall Street Journal wrote that Donna Kelce felt her comments had come off the wrong way during a recent appearance on the “Today” show, where she discussed her son’s relationship with the singer.
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.”
Elsewhere in Monday’s WSJ profile, Travis Kelce praised Swift, calling her “hilarious” and “a genius.”
“I’ve never been a man of words,” he told the publication. “Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f—ing mind-blowing. I’m learning every day.”
