Donna Kelce Playfully Urges Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce to Have Kids

by

Donna Kelce is ready for a bigger team. 

As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce plan their wedding, Travis’s mom is excited to see what the future holds for the couple.

Jason Kelce jokingly acknowledged on the September 22nd episode of the *New Heights* podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Travis, that their mom has always favored Travis. He stated, ‘I do know,’ implying he’s long accepted this fact.

You know, I’ve been following the Kelce family, and it’s so sweet to see how things have evolved! Travis recently shared something really touching – he says that his daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and little Finnley, are now officially their mom, Kylie Kelce’s, favorites. It’s just a fun little glimpse into their family dynamic!

He added,”Listen, right now, Mom has Jason number one because he has kids.”

Jason hinted that Donna has specific ideas about having grandchildren, particularly if Travis and Taylor decide to start a family.

He acknowledged that she had indeed said those things and was putting him under pressure.

Travis, who recently proposed to Taylor at his home near Kansas City, is now busy planning their wedding. He’s even talked about some of the challenges, like deciding whether to have a DJ or a live band.

Oh my gosh, you guys, he *said* it! On the *New Heights* podcast with Jimmy Fallon, he totally confirmed it! He was like, ‘Yeah, we’re definitely the kind of people who are all about live music, you know?’ I KNEW it! It’s just…everything about him is perfect, and now this?! I’m living for it!

Travis is just relieved the proposal planning is over. He confessed that he was quite nervous about asking the big question.

I was really nervous,” the 35-year-old admitted on Fox Sports recently. “I get emotional easily, and I definitely cried a little, but getting here has been an amazing experience.”

He said he was incredibly excited to spend his life with her. She’s brought so much happiness and adventure into his life that he feels she’s helped him grow as a person and become more comfortable with himself.

As Travis and Taylor seem to be moving towards marriage, let’s revisit the highlights of their magical romance.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce first connected in July 2023 when Swift’s Eras Tour visited Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Being a big Taylor Swift fan, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end wanted to give Taylor a friendship bracelet with his jersey number on it at her concert. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to reach her because she was busy getting ready for the show.

Travis explained on his podcast, *New Heights*, that he was a little upset Taylor Swift didn’t chat with fans before or after her concerts. He understood she needed to protect her voice for the 44 songs she performs, but he was hoping to give her one of the friendship bracelets he’d made.

After jokingly talking about dropping the football – something he’d later call incredibly cool – Travis decided to take a chance and invited the famous singer to come see the Chiefs play at their home stadium, Arrowhead.

He explained on *The Pat McAfee Show* that he challenged Taylor Swift, saying, ‘I’ve seen you perform at Arrowhead Stadium, now you should come see me perform there and see who puts on a better show.’ He added that fans might find out what happens soon.

Travis had grown a mustache, first showing it off in August during football training camp, and that’s how Taylor first met him.

He later recalled that his mustache and number 87 jersey were a memorable look during that time, and he was sporting them when he first met Taylor.

According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Travis and Taylor began communicating via text and phone calls around the beginning of September, as reported by TopMob News.

“It’s been very low-key,” the insider explained, “as he’s been in season.”

Taylor accepted Travis Kelce’s invitation and joined his mother, Donna Kelce, at Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Chiefs play the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were photographed showing affection for each other at a nearby bar.

Despite rumors that they met for the first time in person, the singer of “Karma” later explained that they had actually known each other for quite a while before that.

As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” 

You know a relationship is getting serious when you start including your closest friends and family in big moments, and that’s exactly what Taylor did! She brought her amazing group – including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter, and Antoni Porowski – to cheer on the Chiefs when they played the Jets at MetLife Stadium. It was a clear sign things were really heating up!

Taylor Swift seems to be getting close to Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Travis Kelce’s best friend and teammate, Patrick Mahomes, both at and away from football games. This could be another indication that Taylor and Travis are a couple.

The couple publicly displayed their relationship with a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live on October 14th. They continued their New York outing with the show’s after-party and a romantic dinner at the Waverly Inn.

During the team’s break, Travis flew to Argentina to see Taylor Swift perform on her Eras Tour. At the November 11th concert in Buenos Aires, he connected with Taylor’s father, Scott Swift, and Taylor even gave him a special mention from the stage.

“Karma is that guy on the Chiefs,” Taylor sang, “coming straight home to me.”

Okay, so after her incredible performance, I spotted Taylor rushing backstage and immediately meeting Travis with a super sweet and passionate kiss. It was a really cute moment – you could just feel the connection between them! Definitely a highlight from the night.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis’ games.

She told *Time* magazine that she’s excited to support him by watching him do what he’s passionate about, and they both prioritize being there for each other, regardless of what others think. She contrasted this with the effort some people take to hide their relationships, emphasizing their openness and lack of concern for privacy.

 

The famous singer made Travis’ game on December 17th a family event, bringing her father along to support her boyfriend.

Taylor and Travis rang in the New Year together, and shared a kiss at midnight on January 1st.

Taylor continued getting to know Travis’ family, spending time with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce while watching the Chiefs play the Buffalo Bills.

Okay, let me tell you, the energy was *electric* when Travis and Taylor celebrated the Chiefs’ AFC Championship win! It was such a sweet moment – they really sealed the deal with a kiss and then, get this, they actually said ‘I love you’ to each other right there on the field. It was a total fairytale, and of course, it means the Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl! As someone who loves seeing genuine connection, it was a really special thing to witness.

“Tay, I’m gonna enjoy with the guys,” he told her. “I love you—so much it’s not funny.”

 
 

After Travis helped the Kansas City Chiefs win on February 11, 2024, in Las Vegas, he and his partner shared a kiss on the field.

On February 12th, Taylor shared a video of Travis on social media, jokingly showing how she brought her parents to a club with him after the Super Bowl.

Okay, so you won’t believe the first photo Taylor Swift posted with Travis Kelce! It was a super cute selfie of them with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their adorable kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. They all hung out backstage at Taylor’s Eras Tour show at Wembley Stadium in London – talk about a royal meet-cute! It was such a fun, unexpected moment and a really sweet way to introduce things to the world.

During Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, NFL star Travis Kelce surprised the audience by joining her onstage at Wembley Stadium in London. It was his seventh concert overall and the second night at that venue, and he performed as a backup during her song, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

Taylor Swift attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ first game of the 2024-25 season and seemed to recreate a sweet moment with Travis Kelce from October 2023, as captured in a photo shared by Chariah Gordon. Gordon is pictured alongside her boyfriend, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman.

Karen Elson and another person went to the wedding of Lee Foster, who owns Electric Lady Studios, in New York City.

The next day, the pair attended the men’s singles final match at the U.S. Open.

The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.

The couple went on two dates in New York City over the weekend before the new year, and they coordinated their outfits for both outings.

They spent the NFL off-season together, taking a snowy trip to Montana with sports reporter Erin Andrews.

In July 2025, Travis shared the first photos of him and Taylor on Instagram. One cute picture showed them at dinner, and fans noticed their phone lock screens featured photos of each other.

Taylor Swift, a self-proclaimed fan of the *New Heights* podcast, appeared on an almost two-hour-long special episode with Travis and Jason Kelce on August 13th. During the conversation, she openly shared details about her life with Travis, both publicly and privately, and announced the title of her upcoming twelfth studio album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, which will be released on October 3rd.

Over two years after Travis mentioned Taylor on his podcast, sparking widespread excitement, the couple announced their engagement. In a playful nod to Taylor’s song “So High School,” they shared their engagement photos on Instagram with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
