Star Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce\u2018s mom Donna Kelce is opening up about the \u201cwhirlwind\u201d year it has been for her family, including the past few weeks.<\/p>\n
Not only did her sons Travis and Jason Kelce (Philadelphia Eagles center) face off in the 2023 Super Bowl, but her family has also recently been at the center of conversation on social media amid a rumored romance between Travis and Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n
The pop superstar was seen in a stadium suite with Donna for the Chiefs game against the Bears and then the following week, alongside Swift\u2019s A-list friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Sophie Turner, when the Chiefs played the Jets.<\/p>\n
The NFL has also hyped up a Swift-Kelce pairing, posting photos and more. At one point, the league\u2019s official Instagram bio even read, \u201cchiefs are 2-0 as swifties,\u201d acknowledging how many times Swift has attended the tight end\u2019s games.<\/p>\n
Now, on a recent episode of the Got It From My Momma Podcast, Donna is chiming in on all the attention. \u201cAll I can tell you is that the NFL is laughing all the way to the bank,\u201d she said. \u201cYou know what I\u2019m saying? It\u2019s like, good for them. They\u2019re getting the ramifications of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
The football mom continued, \u201cI can tell you this, that they\u2019ve told me personally that the Kelce family has done more good PR for football than they could have paid $1 million to a PR firm.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just because we\u2019re relatable, we\u2019re just normal, we\u2019re genuine, we\u2019re authentic, and we don\u2019t put any airs on or try to be somebody that we\u2019re not.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, the NFL defended its decision to spotlight Swift and Travis following backlash from some football fans. \u201cWe frequently change our bios and profile imagery based on what\u2019s happening in and around our games, as well as culturally,\u201d the league wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news has been a pop cultural moment we\u2019ve leaned into in real time, as it\u2019s an intersection of sport and entertainment, and we\u2019ve seen an incredible amount of positivity around the sport.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Donna also noted that she finds it \u201cpretty cool\u201d that Swift\u2019s game appearances have sparked an interest in football for younger girls, and said that fathers have even DM\u2019d her saying, \u201cFinally my daughter is watching football with me.\u201d<\/p>\n As for the year as a whole, Donna called it a \u201csurreal experience\u201d for her family. She added, \u201cI feel like I\u2019m in an alternate universe because it\u2019s something I\u2019ve never been involved with ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n And though she initially thought all the media attention was going to die down after the Super Bowl, the last two weeks have proved her wrong.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought it would be over at that point, but it seems to just continue, and every week just seems to trump the week before,\u201d Donna said.<\/p>\n \u201cSo it\u2019s really kind of wild, a wild ride, and I\u2019m very grateful that my boys even want me around.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Star Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce\u2018s mom Donna Kelce is opening up about the \u201cwhirlwind\u201d year it has been for her family, including the past few… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9058,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"\n
