In a revealing interview on the Today show, Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, hinted that pop superstar Taylor Swift may not be joining the family for Thanksgiving this year.
Donna Kelce Talks Thanksgiving Plans
When asked about the Kelce family’s Thanksgiving plans, Donna Kelce frankly stated, “I am going to be at a football game. Travis is playing the day after Thanksgiving. Football is always associated with holidays. It’s football’s family.” Pressed on whether there would be a “big dinner” for the holiday, Kelce admitted, “Not that anything’s planned. I think we’re just going to be at the football game.”
Will Taylor Swift Attend?
Given Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, many were curious if the “Karma” singer would be joining the Kelce clan for Thanksgiving. However, Donna Kelce dampened those expectations.
“I don’t think so. She’s kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do,” Donna revealed, referring to Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour.
The 34-year-old Swift is currently wrapping up the Canadian leg of her sprawling world tour, with shows scheduled in Toronto, Canada, from November 14-16. This means she may not have time to make it to Kansas City for Thanksgiving on November 23.
Travis Kelce’s Relationship With Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce, 35, has been dating Taylor Swift since early 2023, and the couple has not been shy about supporting each other in public. Swift was in attendance at a recent Kansas City Chiefs game, where she watched her boyfriend tie the franchise record for most touchdown receptions.
In an interview last year, Swift opened up about the couple’s determination to make their high-profile relationship work. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there, and we don’t care,” she said.
Donna Kelce has also been vocal in her support of the couple, telling the Wall Street Journal in November 2023 that Travis “is happier than I’ve seen him in a long time” since dating Swift.
Donna Kelce’s Appearance On The Today Show
During her Today show appearance, Donna Kelce not only discussed her son’s Thanksgiving plans but also showed off a thoughtful gift from Taylor Swift. Fans were delighted to see Donna wearing a “TTTP” bracelet, a nod to Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
This small gesture highlights the close relationship that has developed between the Kelce family and the pop superstar. While Donna may not have definitively stated that Swift will be joining them for Thanksgiving, it’s clear the two families have formed a strong bond.
Looking Ahead to the Chiefs’ Big Matchup
As the NFL season continues, the focus for the Kelce family will undoubtedly be on the Kansas City Chiefs’ upcoming showdown with the Buffalo Bills on November 17. This highly anticipated AFC clash could be a potential playoff preview, and the Kelces will be there to support Travis and the team.
We’ll see if Taylor Swift makes an appearance at that game or during the Thanksgiving holiday. But one thing is certain: the Kelce family, as they have been for years, will remain firmly rooted in football.
