Donna Kelce, the proud mother of NFL star Travis Kelce, has recently taken center stage in the media, sharing insights into her musical tastes and her newfound connection with pop sensation Taylor Swift. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Donna candidly admitted that she hadn't considered herself a Taylor Swift fan until the rumors linking her son to the Grammy Award-winning artist began to swirl. Prior to this unexpected twist in her musical journey, Donna's heart belonged to legendary acts like Earth, Wind and Fire and the captivating Chaka Khan.
When asked if she identified as a "Swiftie" in her recent PEOPLE interview, Donna responded with a chuckle, "I would say not." She made it clear that her musical preferences veered in a different direction than Taylor Swift's genre, but she certainly recognized and appreciated talent when she encountered it. Donna reminisced, "My era was Earth, Wind and Fire, Chaka Khan, things like that. That's more my music."
Despite her distinct musical inclinations, Donna didn't shy away from revealing her favorite Taylor Swift song during an appearance on the Got It From My Momma podcast. When questioned about her top Swift track, she candidly declared, "I think probably 'Shake It Off.'" Donna playfully attributed the choice to the catchy tune's ability to help her deal with life's "haters."
In addition to her evolving musical preferences, Donna has found herself increasingly intertwined with Taylor Swift's world, primarily due to her unwavering support for her son, Travis, at his football games. Recent sightings of Donna and Taylor Swift together at MetLife Stadium during a Chiefs vs. New York Jets game garnered significant attention. Their company included an A-list group of Taylor's friends, such as Sophie Turner, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and others.
Reflecting on this glamorous experience, Donna remarked, "I think with anybody, everyone is fans of certain people. I think right now I'm just in an alternate universe, and I'm just allowed to be in it. That's all I can tell you." Her journey from being an Earth, Wind and Fire aficionado to sharing moments with Taylor Swift underscores the unexpected twists and turns that life can take, reminding us all that musical preferences can bridge generations and unite diverse worlds in the most surprising ways.
