While Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift enjoyed a rare Florida date night, someone special was quietly cheering them on — his mom.
NFL matriarch Donna Kelce made a low-key but heartfelt show of support. She liked a fan-shared Instagram post of the couple dining together in West Palm Beach on May 23.
The photo showed Swift and Kelce cozied up in a booth at Harry’s Bar & Restaurant, smiling and relaxed during what appeared to be an intimate, low-key evening out.
It wasn’t the only glimpse fans got. Additional images soon surfaced online, including one from MMA fighter Jose Andres Cortes and another from singer Mark Morrison.
The photos captured the couple enjoying drinks and chatting, with Swift flashing an excited smile that quickly went viral.
Donna Kelce Sends a Quiet Signal of Support — and Swifties Notice
At 72, Donna Kelce has become something of a fan favorite among Swifties and NFL lovers alike. Her quiet social media engagement may seem small, but to fans, it was a meaningful nod to the couple’s growing bond.
“Mama Kelce liking that post? That’s approval if I’ve ever seen it,” one commenter wrote.
Donna’s support for Swift isn’t new. She’s posed for photos, sat beside Taylor in luxury boxes at Chiefs games, and was spotted enjoying Mother’s Day brunch in Philadelphia with the couple and Kelce family.
Last year, a People source said Donna “likes Taylor and thinks she’s very sweet and down to earth.” She’s also celebrated Swift’s career wins, including an Instagram shoutout following her eight-award sweep at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
In a recent conversation with fans, she reportedly called The Tortured Poets Department Swift’s “best work yet”, praising the emotional songwriting and artistry.
Private Florida Nights Before the Storm
The dinner date marks one of the few public sightings of Swift and Kelce in recent weeks.
Earlier this spring, the couple traveled together to Park City, New York City, and Montana.
Since then, both stars have kept a lower profile.
Swift has reportedly been staying in Florida with Kelce during the NFL offseason.
Kelce is renting a $20 million estate in the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club in Boca Raton, a luxurious hideaway with a private dock, wine cellar, pool, and waterfront views. It’s a quiet backdrop perfect for both training and romantic downtime.
“They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoy it,” a source told People. “It’s a special time for them.”
With Taylor and Donna in His Corner, Travis Kelce’s Offseason Looks Golden
As Kelce prepares for what some believe may be his final NFL season, support from Taylor Swift and Donna Kelce has been a steady constant.
The Kansas City Chiefs open their 2025–26 campaign on September 5 in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers, a high-stakes matchup in the AFC West.
Whether or not Kelce makes another Super Bowl run remains to be seen. For now, the tight end appears to be savoring a rare window of peace, with Taylor by his side and Donna quietly cheering them both on behind the scenes.
