Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, appeared to show off her Swiftie spirit at the Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Donna, a 71-year-old woman, was spotted wearing Eras Tour-inspired friendship bracelets while attending the Chiefs' game on Thursday, October 12. She was accompanied by Taylor Swift, who is rumored to be dating Travis. The bracelets she had on seemed to be the same ones she received as a gift from Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on the October 6 episode of Today. During her interview on the NBC morning show, Donna chose not to divulge any details about Travis and Swift's relationship. When asked about it, she simply responded, "I honestly can't tell you much. It's just too new."

On Thursday, Swift made her third appearance at a Chiefs game since late September. Similar to Donna, who wore a Chiefs jersey beneath a black jacket, the 33-year-old Grammy winner opted for a Chiefs jacket layered over a black tank top. She complemented her outfit with gold accessories, a ponytail, and her classic red lip.

Swift also enjoyed the company of Travis' father, Ed Kelce, in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium. Ed and Donna, who ended their marriage after around 25 years, are also the parents of Jason Kelce, a player for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Brittany Mahomes (formerly known as Matthews), the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was in attendance at the Thursday match along with Swift and the Kelces. Following a successful play, she was photographed embracing the "Anti-Hero" singer.

Furthermore, Brittany, aged 28, was among several celebrities who joined Swift at the Chiefs' game against the New York Jets on October 1. The musician's well-known friends Sabrina Carpenter, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner, Shawn Levy, and her brother, Austin Swift, were also present to support Travis, aged 34, and his team as they triumphed.

Travis shared on the October 4 episode of their podcast "New Heights" that Donna was ecstatic after meeting Taylor's famous group of friends at the October 1 game. She even had the opportunity to sit next to actor Kevin Miles, also known as Jake from State Farm.

Travis initially sparked rumors of a romance with Taylor when he tried to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number at one of her July Eras Tour shows. Later, he expressed disappointment to Jason on "New Heights" that Taylor doesn't interact with fans before or after her shows due to the need to preserve her voice for her extensive song lineup. Travis admitted feeling a bit hurt that he couldn't personally hand her one of the bracelets he had made for her.

Following Jason's refusal to address his brother's romantic affairs in a postgame interview in September, Taylor exacerbated the already heated relationship speculation by showing up to the Chiefs' game against the Chicago Bears later that same month.

“Taylor is thoroughly enjoying her time with Travis,” an anonymous source exclusively disclosed to us on October 3rd. “They are taking things one day at a time, but she has high hopes for their relationship. What she appreciates about him is that he is a regular, kind-hearted individual. He remains grounded and unfazed by his fame. Additionally, she finds him attractive."

A day prior to the Chiefs’ Thursday game, Taylor attended the Los Angeles premiere of her documentary film, The Eras Tour, unaccompanied. As she continues to make appearances at NFL matches, NFL broadcaster Al Michaels disclosed that he and other sports commentators have had discussions regarding the extent of coverage to give to the renowned "Karma" singer.
