Donna Kelce recently shared her thoughts on why Taylor Swift has been a great fit for her son, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In an interview with Page Six during the premiere of the FX show Grotesquerie, Donna discussed the budding romance that has captivated both the NFL world and Swift’s legion of fans.

“He’s a good guy. He really is,” Donna said, emphasizing Travis’ kind and generous nature. “From what I understand, so is she.” The relationship, which became public after Swift was spotted cheering for Kelce at a Chiefs game in September 2023, has drawn significant attention, sparking headlines about the pair’s dynamic.

Taylor Swift’s sideline appearances

Since that initial appearance at Arrowhead Stadium, where Swift sat next to Donna in Travis‘ family box, the pop star has become a familiar face at Chiefs games. From regular-season matchups to the team’s Super Bowl win, Swift has shown unwavering support for her beau. Their relationship has sparked excitement both in the sports world and among Swift’s fanbase, who have followed her every game-day appearance with enthusiasm. 

“I hope they’re having a good time,” Donna shared, adding that she appreciates seeing them enjoy their time together.

The Kelce family’s rising fame

The Kelce family has been no stranger to the spotlight, with both Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, making names for themselves in the NFL. While Jason retired from the Philadelphia Eagles and joined ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, Travis continues to thrive with the Chiefs, now boosted by his high-profile relationship with Swift.

The Chiefs star has also ventured into new arenas outside of football. His involvement in a 10-episode FX drama marks his growing interest in acting, which his mother is proud of. “It’s so awesome,” Donna said about seeing her son explore new opportunities. “He wanted to try (acting), so we’ll see how it goes.”

Despite Travis‘ relatively slow start this season, the Chiefs are undefeated with a 3-0 record following their recent win against the Falcons. As his personal and professional life continues to flourish, fans are eager to see what’s next for both him and his superstar girlfriend.
