Donna Kelce is shaking off the confusion.
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce's mom recently became the subject of an internet jumble when fans called out one Swiftie who had mistaken Taylor Swift's mom Andrea Swift for Donna.
It all began when Star Wars actor Mark Hamill replied to a photo of Andrea at the Kansas City Chiefs' Sept. 15 game sporting an "In my 87 era," pin—a nod to both Travis' jersey number and Taylor's current Eras Tour—writing, "#ILoveTaylorSwift's mom."
A fan who goes by chiefsera24 reposted the message on Sept. 16, adding on X, "This is the sweetest thing I've read all day," and tagged not Andrea but Donna.
Thanks to the tag, other social media users speculated the fan couldn't tell the difference between the two famous blonde moms. However, Donna proved she has nothing but love for her online supporters, responding to the user directly on Sept. 20, "Love you too!!"
The validation from the NFL mamma was what the X user needed, writing, "Mrs Kelce I'm sorry I got you in the middle of this twisted narrative. I actually did make a mistake and said so right away but …. Twitter did what twitter does. I appreciate this gracious post and btw I love you too. Best mom living her best life."
Despite the mix-up over Donna and Andrea, there is no confusion as to how much the two get along, as they were spotted sharing a sweet moment at the Sept. 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Donna and Andrea shared a big hug in their box before chatting for a few minutes while Donna adorably held onto Andrea's arm.
And while Andrea gave a nod to Travis and Taylor with her pin, Donna also paid tribute to the couple, both 34, with the embroidery on her custom black Chiefs baseball cap at the Sept. 5 game.
The front of the cap was adorned with images of sprigs of white cosmos, the flower for Travis' birth month October, and sprigs of holly, the flower for Taylor's birth month December. It also included Travis' 87 jersey number.
And as the hat's designer Alexa Pearlmutter shared on TikTok Sept. 6 after it went viral, her "general idea was to incorporate matching florals to pair with the red/white asymmetrical logo and work @Travis Kelces #87 into the design."
But Donna and Andrea aren't the only ones being adorable, as Travis and Taylor have shared plenty of sweet moments over the course of their love story.
For a deep dive on their year-long relationship, keep reading.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
"I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future."
Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.
As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."
By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were "texting and talking here and there."
"It's been very low-key," the insider explained, "as he's been in season."
Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.
Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand.
As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
As an indication that the relationship was heating up, Taylor brought her squad—including friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski—to watch the Chiefs play against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Another sign that Travis could be The 1? Taylor started bonding with Brittany Mahomes—the wife of Travis' BFF and teammate Patrick Mahomes—in and outside of NFL games.
The couple took their romance to TV, making a surprise appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Saturday Night Live. Their Big Apple takeover also included the after-party for the NBC sketch show and a date night at the Waverly Inn.
During a bye week, Travis traveled down to Argentina to catch the South American leg of Taylor's Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad, Scott Swift, at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage.
"Karma is that guy on the Chiefs," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me."
After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss.
Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games.
"I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone."
The music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man.
Taylor and Travis spent their first New Year's Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1.
Continuing to bond with Travis' family, Taylor hung out with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills.
Taylor joined Travis on the football field when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship, a victory that cemented the team's spot in the 2024 Super Bowl. The couple shared a celebratory kiss before exchanging the L-word.
"Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys," he told her. "I love you—so much it's not funny."
The pair locked lips on the field after Travis led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas.
Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media for the first time Feb. 12, poking fun at how she took her parents clubbing with the athlete after the Super Bowl.
Taylor's first Instagram pic featuring Travis was a selfie of the two with Prince William and his and wife Kate Middleton's eldest kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage at the singer's Eras tour show at Wembley Stadium in London.
While attending his seventh Eras tour concert, and second show at London's Wembley Stadium, the NFL star joined his girlfriend onstage as a backup performer during her performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
Taylor joined Travis for the Chief's first game of the regular 2024-25 season and appeared to re-enact a PDA moment from October 2023 in this photo shared by Chariah Gordon, who is pictured with her boyfriend, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman.
The two attended model Karen Elson's wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster in New York City.
The next day, the pair attended the men's singles final match at the U.S. Open.
