Donna Kelce Reacts After Being Confused for Taylor Swift's Mom

As a devoted fan of both Taylor Swift and football, I must say that following their blossoming relationship has been nothing short of exhilarating. From clubbing with her parents to sharing the stage at one of Taylor’s concerts, Travis Kelce certainly knows how to make an entrance. It’s fascinating to see such a high-profile athlete embracing his girlfriend’s celebrity life and vice versa.


Donna Kelce is shaking off the confusion.

Discussing a recent online stir, fans pointed out that Travis Kelce’s and Jason Kelce’s mother was incorrectly identified as Taylor Swift’s mom (Andrea Swift), due to a mix-up in identities.

Everything started when the actor from Star Wars, Mark Hamill, responded to a picture of Andrea at the Kansas City Chiefs’ game on September 15, wearing an “In my 87 era” pin – a reference to both Travis’ jersey number and Taylor’s current Eras Tour – by posting “#ILoveTaylorSwift’s mom.” in a comment.

On September 16th, the user known as chiefsera24 shared a post, remarking on it with “This is the nicest thing I’ve come across today,” and instead of tagging Andrea, they tagged Donna.

Due to the tag, social media users assumed that the fan might not be able to distinguish between the two well-known blonde moms. However, Donna demonstrated her affection for her online followers by addressing the user personally on September 20th with a warm message saying, “I love you too!!”.

The validation from the NFL mamma was what the X user needed, writing, “Mrs Kelce I’m sorry I got you in the middle of this twisted narrative. I actually did make a mistake and said so right away but …. Twitter did what twitter does. I appreciate this gracious post and btw I love you too. Best mom living her best life.”

Regardless of the misunderstanding between Donna and Andrea, there’s no doubt about their friendship, which was evident when they were seen enjoying a heartwarming moment during the September 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. In their private box, Donna and Andrea exchanged a warm hug before engaging in a brief conversation while Donna affectionately clung to Andrea’s arm.

Furthermore, as Andrea acknowledged Travis and Taylor with her brooch, Donna too honored the pair, who are both 34 years old, by incorporating a tribute into the embroidery on her personalized black Kansas City Chiefs baseball cap during the game on September 5th.

At the forefront of the cap, there were depictions of small clusters of white cosmos (symbolizing October, Travis’ birth month) and clusters of holly (representing December, Taylor’s birth month). Additionally, it featured the number 87, which belonged to Travis.

According to Alexa Pearlmutter, the hat’s creator, she revealed on TikTok on September 6 after it became popular, her overall concept was to add coordinating florals to complement the red/white asymmetrical logo and integrate Travis Kelce’s #87 into the design.

Besides Donna and Andrea, Travis and Taylor also display an abundance of adorableness throughout their romantic journey, sharing many sweet moments along the way.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romantic journey started in July 2023, as her Eras Tour visited Arrowhead Stadium, located in Kansas City, Missouri.

As a devoted Swift fan, I couldn’t miss Taylor Swift’s latest concert, hoping to present her with a friendship bracelet adorned with my jersey number. Regrettably, my attempt to connect with her was thwarted by her pre-performance routines.

Travis explained on his New Heights podcast (July 26th episode) that he felt let down because she doesn’t chat before or after her performances, as she needs to conserve her voice for the 44 songs she sings. Consequently, he regretted not being able to give her a bracelet I made for her.

Following a blunder he later labeled as “purely metal,” Travis boldly extended an invitation to the Grammy-winning artist, asking him to come watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.

He mentioned on The Pat McAfee Show that he had suggested an idea: “I invited her to challenge me in a performance at Arrowhead Stadium, and I said something like, ‘You’ve impressed me with your performances there, now it’s time for us to see who can put on a better show.’ So, we’ll wait and see what the outcome will be in the upcoming days.
