Taylor Swift might’ve just added another Kelce to her list of favorite people, and fans are eating it up. During a casual night out in Nashville with boyfriend Travis Kelce, Swift was caught on camera gushing about the Chiefs star’s mom, Donna.

The singer made a surprise appearance on Monday night at the welcome event for Kelce’s annual “Tight End University,” a close-knit NFL gathering that brings together the league’s best tight ends to raise money for charity. But it wasn’t just football on Swift’s mind.

In a short clip circulating on social media, Swift says, “Also blonde… I have less charm!”

The comment sparked a frenzy among Swifties, who believe she was referring to Donna Kelce, Travis’s mother. Moments later, Kelce jumps in with an explanation for his mom’s absence.

“She’s out working,” he says. “Have you seen Traitors?”

Kelce’s mention of the reality show wasn’t random. Donna Kelce is currently competing on The Traitors, the hit television series filmed in a Scottish castle, as confirmed earlier this month. Swift’s offhand praise and Travis’s quick defense of his mom’s hustle only added more weight to their strong family bond.

Since they went public last September, Swift and Donna have appeared together several times, including in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium for a Chiefs game. Their chemistry isn’t just for show. The two often sit side-by-side during games and have built a genuinely warm relationship over the past year.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Swift and Kelce kept things “low-key” throughout the Nashville event. A source told the outlet, “Taylor and Travis stayed mostly toward the back of the VIP area, laughing and mingling with close friends.” The insider added the couple looked “very much in love.”

Travis Kelce co-founded Tight End University in 2021 with George Kittle and Greg Olsen. While Swift kept a low profile, Kittle stood nearby in the viral video clip.

Whether intentional or not, Swift’s candid comment offered fans a glimpse into her growing bond with the Kelce family, especially Donna. Her tone made it clear she admires both Travis and his mom.
