Travis Kelce’s true feelings towards Taylor Swift’s surprise gesture to his mother have been revealed.

Swift and Kelce, who plays as a tight end for Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL, have been in a relationship since 2023.

Since then, the American music icon has regularly been seen at Kansas City home games, attending the matches with family members of Kelce and her friends.

She has also been spotted alongside Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes joked in May 2024 that he should receive some of the credit for Kelce’s relationship with Swift beginning, as he invited the tight end to one of the American singer’s ‘Eras Tour’ concerts in July 2023.

The plan was for Kelce to meet Swift at the concert and try to hand her a friendship bracelet with his number on it.

As well as developing a close friendship with the Mahomes clan, Swift has also become close with Kelce’s 72-year-old mother, Donna.

Last month, the pair attended a Chiefs game while both dressed in all red and black. Red is the primary colour of the reigning Super Bowl champions’ uniform for the 2024/25 season.

According to a source, the gesture was said to have ‘touched’ Kelce.

The source told the Daily Mail: “Travis has always been flattered at Taylor wearing his team’s colours when she attends his games and matching with his mom is always something that he finds really touching.”

It isn’t the only time that Swift has worn matching Chiefs colours.

Earlier this year, she was seen wearing a diamond-encrusted ring at the Arrowhead Stadium, which featured a ruby centre that matched the red and gold uniforms of the Chiefs.

Hello magazine later estimated the value of the special ring to be around $33,000.

Swift also wore a necklace featuring the number 87 – Kelce’s number for the Chiefs – at the 2024 Super Bowl.
