Breaking: Donna Kelce Says She Doesn’t Think Taylor Swift Will Be at the Kelce Family Thanksgiving: ‘She’s Kind of Busy… See More

“I am going to be at a football game. Travis is playing the day after Thanksgiving,” the mom of two said about how she plans on spending the holiday

Is Taylor Swift spending Thanksgiving with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his family?

During an appearance on the Today show on Thursday, Nov. 14, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s mom, Donna Kelce, 72, gave insight into whether the pop star, 34, will join the Kelces for the holiday.

“I don’t think so. She’s kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do,” said Donna, referring to Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour, which will wrap up in Vancouver on Sunday, Dec. 8.

According to Donna, however, Thanksgiving week for the Kelces will be centered around football, as Travis is in the middle of the NFL season.

“I am going to be at a football game. Travis is playing the day after Thanksgiving,” she said, referring to the Chiefs’ Friday, Nov. 29 game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium.

Since her older son, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, 37, spent 13 seasons in the NFL, she said that “football is always the holidays” for her family, noting that her loved ones have not planned to have a Thanksgiving dinner.

“I think we’re just going to be at the football game,” she said.

The Chiefs are currently on a nine-game winning streak. They last faced off against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 10, and won 16 – 14.

Swift was present at the game as Travis, 35, made Chiefs history, tying Tony Gonzalez for the most touchdown receptions in franchise history.

When Swift was named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year last December, she opened up about how the two are determined to support one another despite the attention on their romance.

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. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone.”
