Taylor Swift is basically an honorary member of the Kelce family. No, it’s not official yet. She and Travis Kelce aren’t on their way to the altar despite the expectation from friends they’ll get engaged soon. But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end reportedly “loves” how the Grammy winner gets along with his family.
The Kelce family has ‘fully embraced’ Taylor Swift
Taylor and Travis have family stamps of approval. “Both of their families love them as a couple,” a source told Us Weekly. “And Taylor has become even more close with Travis’ mom,” Donna Kelce. Many times the two have been spotted in the stands at Chiefs games watching Travis play.
But it’s not just Mama Kelce the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer grown close to—it’s all of NFL player’s immediate family. “Taylor has really been integrated into the family,” the insider continued. “They have fully embraced her. It’s a whole new world and chapter for her.”
That includes not only Donna but Travis’s dad, Ed Kelce, as well as his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles player, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce. Plus, their three daughters: Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett.
Travis ‘loves’ how Taylor gets along with his family
Seeing Taylor fit in with his family is something Travis “loves,” a separate source told the outlet in January 2024. “Everybody knows how close Travis is with his family,” they said. “So it really means everything to him how seamlessly Taylor blends in with all of them.”
Despite their relationship being relatively new—Travis and Taylor started dating in the summer of 2023 after a shoutout on the “New Heights” podcast—Taylor gets along with everyone in the Kelce family “seamlessly.”
“His family is all about just hanging out, joking, and having a great time,” the insider said, noting the Kelces are comfortable around the “Fortnight” singer. “It’s almost like she’s known his family forever, and he loves that about her.”
Travis and Taylor spent Thanksgiving together with their families
According to People, Kelce and Swift spent Thanksgiving together in Nashville, Tennessee. A source confirmed to the outlet that they celebrated together with their families. Taylor and her parents, Scott and Andrea, hosted the Kelce family before Travis left for the Chiefs game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 29, 2024.
“Taylor and Travis had a great Thanksgiving together with their families,” the insider said, noting the Grammy winner spent the holiday in South America last year. “It’s the first Thanksgiving they celebrated together.”
“Taylor and her family were excited to host the Kelces this year,” they added. “[Travis’ brother] Jason was there with his family and kids too. It was very festive and special.” After Thanksgiving, Swift went to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, to cheer Travis on alongside his mom, Donna. (Mama Kelce and the “Down Bad” singer were seen arriving together.)
In the days ahead of Thanksgiving, Donna told Today that Swift probably wouldn’t spend the holiday with her and the rest of the Kelce family. “I don’t think so. She’s kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do,” she said about The Eras Tour, which ends on Dec. 8, 2024, after three shows in Vancouver, Canada.
