Travis Kelce is constantly enchanted by the women in his life.
For the Kansas City Chiefs player, he has always looked for a woman with similar traits to his mom Donna Kelce — and with Taylor Swift, he gets deja vu.
“Their kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room,” Travis said of their shared traits in an interview with GQ published Aug. 12. “Their ability to show love and support no matter what. And on top of that, their work ethic.”
The tight end had gotten emotional as he reflected on his mother’s perseverance, which he also sees in the “Love Story” singer.
“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,” he continued. “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.”

Travis also noted that his romance with Swift, which they debuted in September 2023, feels like a “regular” relationship.
“When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love,” the 35-year-old told the outlet. “It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that it’s as normal of…. It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked.”
“When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with,” he explained. “We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the f— off.”
Meanwhile, Donna has warmed up to Swift, 35, over the past two years. As she told E! News in September of her bond with the Grammy winner, “It’s fun. It’s still new.”
The matriarch, who also shares son Jason Kelce with ex-husband Ed Kelce, is grateful that Swift is her son’s biggest cheer captain. She added that she and the singer “just have the best time cheering Travis on” at his big games.
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce are once again proving their many talents. The brothers and NFL icons hit the green for the ACC Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe, Calif., on July 11.
