Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, gave a heartwarming reaction to her son’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift’s, appearance on the ‘New Heights’ podcast. In a recent chat with People magazine at the red carpet premiere for ESPN’s ‘The Kingdom’ docuseries on Sunday, August 24, the NFL star’s mother revealed that she watched the podcast episode featuring the popstar.
“I did watch the podcast … and I think it was just really, really eventful,” she noted of the August 13 episode of the show. During the podcast, Taylor also announced her 12th studio album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’. “It was authentic. It was just something I think everybody was thrilled to see, and it was a very loving podcast,” Donna remarked.
Travis’s father, Ed Kelce, also shared his thoughts on the episode, which broke the view record by over 20 million, surpassing Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce’s episode as the most-viewed ‘New Heights’ episode ever. “Oh, it was good. It was awesome,” Ed said at Sunday’s ‘The Kingdom’ premiere. “They’re two people obviously very much in love,” he added.
In a recent interview with GQ, Travis talked about the similarities between his girlfriend and his mom. “Their kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room,” Travis said, adding that both women have an “ability to show love and support no matter what.” The quarterback added, “I saw my mother reach goals she had set for herself, go from being a teller to working all the way up in the KeyBank building.”
