Donna Kelce, 71, arrived in Kansas City, Missouri, to support her son Travis Kelce as he and the Chiefs gear up for their game against the Denver Broncos on Thursday, October 12th. Sharing a photo of a fire pit and a sunset, she excitedly posted on her Instagram Story, "Made it to Kansas City!!!" on Wednesday, October 11th.

Donna, who is also the mother of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, has found herself in the public eye recently due to ongoing rumors about Travis, 34, dating Taylor Swift.

In a recent event, Donna and Swift, 33, were captured in a photograph embracing each other while watching the Chiefs compete against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Prior to this, the two women were seen together in an Arrowhead Stadium box during the Chiefs' home game against the Chicago Bears on September 24.

When asked about the romantic relationship between Swift and Travis, Donna has chosen to keep her silence, leaving the world hungry for information. During an appearance on Today on Friday, October 6, she admitted, "I honestly can't tell you. It's still too fresh."

Donna further stated that discussing her sons' personal lives is not something she is willing to do. While she is open to talking about her own experiences as a mother when her children were young, she recognizes that they are now grown men with their own lives. She firmly believes that no man will feel comfortable discussing their personal matters with their mother. This is a boundary she intends to maintain.

Donna expressed her appreciation for the attention she has received lately, finding it truly amazing. She admitted that it has surpassed her wildest expectations and has significantly enhanced her life. Donna specifically referred to her presence alongside Taylor in the boxes as a key factor contributing to this heightened state.

The story of Swift and Travis began when the athlete took a shot at expressing his interest during one of her Eras Tour performances.

"I was disappointed that she doesn't engage in conversation before or after her shows because she needs to preserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings," Travis shared with his brother Jason, 35, on their "New Heights" podcast in July. "I was a little upset that I couldn't give her one of the bracelets I made for her. She doesn't interact with anyone – or at least she didn't want to meet me, so I took it personally. But the show was incredible. Kansas City really showed up."

Two months later, Swift made amends for the missed connection by attending the aforementioned Bears game. Although Swift has not addressed the romance rumors publicly, Travis has consistently praised the pop star in light of the growing exposure.

"We are adapting to the paparazzi constantly capturing photos from various locations, it's part of the territory. There are numerous people who genuinely care about Taylor, and rightfully so," he expressed during an October 6 press conference in Kansas City.

Regarding Swift's sentiments towards the NFL star, an exclusive source shared with We earlier this month that the "Anti-Hero" singer holds optimistic expectations for their future.

According to the insider, Taylor is thoroughly relishing the process of getting to know Travis. They are approaching the relationship with a day-by-day mentality, yet Taylor maintains a strong belief in the potential of their connection. One of the aspects that Taylor appreciates about Travis is his down-to-earth nature and unaffected demeanor in the face of fame. Additionally, she finds him highly attractive.

According to another source, Travis is completely infatuated. The hype surrounding Travis and Swift's relationship is a complete shift from her low-key romance with Joe Alwyn, whom she ended things with in April after six years of dating.
