It seems not everyone is super excited about the blossoming relationship between pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL superstar Travis Kelce.
The two have been the toast of the tabloids since coming out officially as a couple more than two weeks ago. Since then they’ve received nearly non-stop television coverage during Kansas City Chiefs games.
Most NFL fans who fit outside of Swift’s target demographic have taken the coverage with a grain of salt, while others have taken umbrage with the league’s treatment of the relationship and its effort to capitalize on it and the popularity it generates in every way possible.
But now, someone who cares about Kelce more than Swift, the league, or even his teammates has taken notice of the financial impact this made-for-Hollywood romance is having — his mother.
Donna Kelce recently appeared on the “Got It from My Momma” podcast hosted by Jennifer Vickery Smith and spoke on her son’s relationship with Swift.
“It’s very surreal… I feel like I’m in an alternate universe, because it’s something I’ve never been involved with before,” mother Kelce said of the attention she’s received over the past few weeks.
When asked about all the impact of Taylor Swift on the popularity of her son and the league, Donna responded:
“All I can tell you is that the NFL is laughing all the way to the bank. Good for them. They are getting the ramifications of everything. They’ve told me personally that the Kelce family has done more good PR for football than they could’ve paid a million dollars to a PR firm,” Kelce said.
“I had one dad who DM’d me and said ‘I’ve finally, finally got my daughter watching football with me.'”
Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and the NFL, bringing daughters and fathers closer together was not on many bingo cards at the start of the season, but here we are.
