Donna Kelce Reposts Video of Son Travis Carrying Taylor Swift Onstage During London Eras Show
Travis Kelce made headlines when he made his first onstage appearance during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows in London over the weekend — and Kelce’s mother, Donna, shared her excitement about her son’s concert debut.
On Sunday, June 23 — soon after the pop superstar, 34, shocked the crowd by inviting her Kansas City Chiefs player boyfriend, also 34, onstage with — Kelce’s mom, 71, reposted a video of the viral moment to her Facebook page.
In the clip, fans can be heard cheering and screaming as Kelce appeared onstage at Wembley Stadium, joining Swift for her “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” outfit change, a new part of her set since the release of The Tortured Poets Department.
The tight end was wearing a tuxedo and top hat — the same as Swift’s backup dancers — and stepped in for the dancer who usually carries the Grammy winner during the segment. Kelce could be seen grinning as he carried Swift to a red couch, where he set her down. He then worked with the other dancers to get her dolled up and pretended to put makeup on her face with a brush.
Swift then blew him a kiss as she began her next song, and Kelce waved the crowd off as he and the backup dancers descended below the stage on a platform.
Donna’s Facebook followers were instantly excited that she had reshared a video of the moment — and were very complimentary of Kelce’s live performance skills.
“And every Swiftie just died all at once and broke the internet,” one fan wrote below Donna’s post. “We need Mama Kelce to get to a show!”
Another fan chimed in, adding, “Oh my heart. Mama Kelce I hope y’all know how much us Swifties love your sons!!”
“Love how these masculine football men are showing the world it’s ok to wear friendship bracelets, support your significant others successes and still shine on your own!” another fan commented, referencing Kelce’s brother and former Philadelphia Eagles star player, Jason Kelce, who made headlines when he and his wife, Kylie, stepped out with tons of friendship bracelets to hand out to fans at Swift’s show on Saturday, June 22.
“Kudos to Mama & Papa Kelce for raising these 2 men!!” the fan added.
The Chiefs player’s appearance came just days after he and Swift went Instagram official, after the “Fortnight” singer shared a selfie of the couple posing with Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage after the star’s first Wembley show on Friday, June 21.
Kelce’s mom has previously been candid about her support for his relationship with Swift. Just last month, Donna made an appearance The Martha Stewart Podcast, where she opened up about the relationship between her NFL star son and his music superstar girlfriend.
“They’re both friendly,” Donna told Stewart. “They’re both generous. They’re both loving. They’re both caring individuals,” she added, noting that while she’s seemingly optimistic about their future, she added one small caveat: “time will tell.”
