Travis Kelce reflects on shared qualities between Taylor Swift and Donna Kelce in candid interview
During the conversation, Kelce was reminded of a previous comment in which he said he would ideally want a partner who embodied traits he valued most in his mother.
Asked if Swift and Donna shared similarities, he replied, 'Their kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room. Their ability to show love and support no matter what. And on top of that, their work ethic. I saw my mother reach goals that she had set for herself, go from being a teller to working all the way up in the KeyBank building.'
Reflecting on his mother's determination, Kelce became emotional and paused briefly before adding: 'I've seen Taylor do the exact same thing of setting goals for herself and exceeding the expectations and really captivating the world in that regard.'
Kelce also revealed that he and Swift already support each other in a way he likened to family. 'I get to be the plus one,' he said. 'I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan. I'm a fan of music. I'm a fan of art. And it's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field…. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows.'
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the Grammy-winning singer have been a prominent couple since going public, often supporting each other at major events.
Most recently, Swift joins Kelce on an episode of his New Heights podcast in which she also reveals her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl. The full episode airs August 13th at 7 pm ET.

Zoë Kravitz recounts wild pet snake chase that damaged Taylor Swift's L.A. bathroom
Zoë Kravitz has revealed an unusual mishap that occurred while she was staying at Taylor Swift's Los Angeles home earlier this year during the city's wildfires. Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers on August 12, the actress explained that Swift had offered her and her mother, Lisa Bonet, a place to stay for two weeks. Kravitz said Bonet had brought her pet snake, named Orpheus, to the property. On the last day of her stay, Kravitz was preparing to leave when her mother called her upstairs with a problem. Bonet explained that while washing her face, she had set the snake down briefly, and it had found a small hole in the corner of Swift's bathroom. Kravitz described removing drawers from a built-in banquette as the snake moved further out of reach. She called the house manager, who arrived with a crowbar to dismantle part of the structure in an effort to retrieve the animal. 'We're ripping up the tile, we're scratching the walls,' Kravitz told Meyers. 'We completely destroyed Taylor's bathroom.' She said she offered to pay for the repairs and suggested not telling Swift until the damage was fixed. However, when she called Swift, the singer already knew, asking, 'Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in the house and destroyed my bathroom?' Kravitz and Swift have been friends since 2020, having spent time together in London during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kravitz also attended one of Swift's Eras Tour concerts in London in 2024.

WATCH: Leonardo DiCaprio searched by police at Ibiza party after going unrecognized
Leonardo DiCaprio was momentarily held up by police while attending a party in Ibiza after officers reportedly failed to recognize the Oscar-winning actor. A video obtained by the Daily Mail shows the 50-year-old actor dressed in an all-black outfit, wearing his signature baseball cap and chain, waiting to be searched by local authorities before entering a high-profile tequila party. The incident occurred as DiCaprio attended an event hosted by Patrón and Spanish singer-actor Aron Piper at a private villa. According to Page Six, a source clarified that DiCaprio was not specifically targeted. 'Every single person was patted down and ID'd,' the insider said, noting that the event attracted several well-known figures. The source added, 'It's funny, they did a double take and then he went in!' In the background of the video, a woman can be heard commenting, 'They are searching me full-on right now.' While it's unclear if she was DiCaprio's girlfriend, 27-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, she was reportedly in Ibiza with him at the time. Other celebrities at the exclusive gathering included Kendall Jenner and Tobey Maguire, DiCaprio's longtime friend. However, rapper Travis Scott was reportedly denied entry, according to the Daily Mail. DiCaprio is a frequent visitor to Ibiza and was recently seen vacationing aboard Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's yacht with Ceretti. The couple, who have been linked since summer 2023, also attended Bezos and Sánchez's wedding in Venice earlier this year. In a Vogue France interview from March, Ceretti expressed frustration over being primarily recognized as DiCaprio's partner, saying such labels can be 'extremely annoying' and reduce one's identity to their relationship status.
