How Travis Kelce’s Parents Really Felt About Taylor Swift Super Bowl Booing
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift continue to spark engagement rumors after Super Bowl LIX. The Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, discouraging hopeful Swifties who dreamed that Travis might get down on one knee for Swift after the game. Additionally, during the Super Bowl, the crowd booed Swift when she appeared on the jumbotron, further upsetting fans. Here’s how Travis’ parents allegedly felt about the booing.
Travis Kelce’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, ‘felt awful’ for Taylor Swift following Super Bowl booing
Taylor Swift didn’t enjoy getting booed during Super Bowl LIX. She attended the Kansas City Chiefs versus Philadelphia Eagles game to cheer on Travis Kelce. While she didn’t do anything on her own accord to garner additional attention, the jumbotron featured her, causing the crowd to boo her.
“When the crowd erupts in boos, she appears visibly uneasy,” celebrity body language expert Inbaal Honigman told Casino.ca. “Her lips curl downward, and her eyes dart from side to side as she mouths, ‘What’s going on?’ This reaction reflects confusion, dismay, and even a hint of hurt.”
Swift appears to have a good relationship with Travis’ parents, Donna and Ed Kelce. Page Six reports the Kelce family wasn’t happy about the booing either.
“Travis’ family felt awful when Taylor was booed,” an insider told the publication, adding that the family thinks Swift has “a heart of gold.”
“They don’t think anybody deserves that,” they added.
Another source told DailyMail.com that Travis Kelce felt heartbroken to see his girlfriend get booed when she was there to support him. “Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed, and he felt helpless,” the insider said. “Seeing the look on her face got to him.”
Donna Kelce says her son doesn’t get ‘stressed’ by the public attention he’s gained from his relationship
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are one of the most discussed couples in 2025. Swifties have become NFL fans thanks to the couple, and NFL fans are also tuning into Swift’s hit albums. Donna Kelce discussed her son’s sudden “trajectory” with Extra.
“It just seems like his life is on a trajectory that is just rising every single day, and every time I turn around, I’m seeing him doing something different, whether it’s on the golf course or at a concert or whatever,” Donna explained. “He’s just having his best life right now.”
The interviewer asked Donna whether Kelce ever feels “stressed” by the newfound public attention.
“I don’t really think so,” she admitted. “He’s always been one to be in the limelight. He loves attention. He’s always dancing, always joking around, always having fun things done. He just loves life; he has a zest for life. And he’s just one of those individuals that wants to make sure everybody’s laughing and having a good time. So, a lot of the antics he does, whether it’s on the field or elsewhere, is just because — even with his clothes sometimes, he’s like, ‘I just wanted a smile out of people, you know?'”
Travis Kelce’s mother carefully swerved around a question about Taylor Swift
Donna Kelce intends to keep her answers to questions regarding Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift intentionally vague. In 2024, an interviewer with E! News asked the NFL mom what her favorite thing about Swift is.
“I don’t really know … it’s still new,” Donna answered. “I don’t really have any profound thoughts or anything like that. We just have the best time cheering Travis on.”
In a more recent interview with the Associated Press, Donna called Swift a “really decent human being,” proving she may open up more about Swift in the future.
“I try to find out peoples’ qualities and just admire them for what they do and what they are,” the NFL mom said. “And there’s nothing really in particular. It’s just a really decent human being I’ve really admired.”
