With Thanksgiving just around the corner, fans are buzzing about whether pop superstar Taylor Swift will spend the holiday with her NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his family. Known for their supportive relationship, Swift and Kelce have made it clear they've prioritized each other amid their busy schedules. Recently, Donna Kelce, Travis's mom, shared her thoughts on the upcoming holiday, raising questions about the couple's Thanksgiving plans.
During a segment on the Today Show, Donna Kelce confirmed her holiday schedule, saying she would be at a football game on Thanksgiving. "I am going to be at a football game. Travis is playing the day after Thanksgiving," she stated, pointing out the strong connection between the holiday and football within their family. Every year, family gatherings for the Kelces tend to revolve around the gridiron, reinforcing the idea of football as part of their holiday tradition.
When asked about the possibility of Swift joining the family for turkey and stuffing, Donna expressed uncertainty. "I don’t think so. She’s kinda busy right now," she remarked, referencing Swift's hectic tour schedule. The singer is currently in the midst of her Eras Tour, which demands much of her time, particularly with shows lined up through the end of the year.
Swift is kicking off the final leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour on November 14, starting with six performances in Toronto. Given her packed schedule, some fans worry she might not be able to make the trip down to Kansas City for Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, there's still hope for fans hoping to see Swift at the game against the Las Vegas Raiders, taking place on November 29, which falls just after the holiday.
Swift's 13-day break between concerts during this Thanksgiving period offers her the chance to appear at the family gathering. She could decide to embrace the holiday spirit alongside the Kelce family and cheer for Travis's team. The chance seems promising, especially considering how often Swift has been spotted at games supporting her boyfriend throughout the season. While some holidays might be strictly family-focused, this year may provide the perfect opportunity for Swift to join the festivities.
The Chiefs are making headlines for their impressive performance this season — they're currently undefeated, boasting a 9-0 record. With ambitions to be the first team ever to win three Super Bowls consecutively, the stakes are high, not just for the team but for their star players too. Of course, Thanksgiving football is all about family commitments, which travel alongside the excitement of the game.
Although Swift has attended numerous Chiefs games, her appearances this season have been limited. Last year, she made waves by showing up to various home and away games, only to scale back on the latter this year due to security concerns. "If she is going to a place that's not Arrowhead, there are security concerns," said one source, explaining why Swift has been more cautious about attending games at different arenas. Knowing she has established connections with the staff at Arrowhead Stadium could make her attendance less of a logistical headache.
Swift's last known appearance was at the Chiefs game against the Denver Broncos on November 10, where Kelce tied the record for most touchdowns caught by a Chiefs player, making it another exciting outing. The moment she arrived was highly publicized, showing off not just the love story but also the public interest surrounding their relationship. Security teams even had to clear the way for her, dramatically illustrating the intense spotlight she’s under, whether it’s on the field or through the lens of the media.
Swift's mother, Andrea Swift, hasn't publicly commented on the Thanksgiving plans, but she has been known to support her daughter's relationship with Kelce. Just like Donna Kelce, she seems to appreciate the happiness Travis brings to Taylor's life. With both families being supportive, the door is wide open for Swift to make her appearance this Thanksgiving, where she could enjoy not just food but also embrace the spirit of family and sports.
If Swift does attend the Thanksgiving dinner, she may experience the celebratory vibe common among NFL families during the Thanksgiving holiday. While the Kelce family embraces the football-centric nature of the holiday, they also cherish spending quality time with loved ones – something evident when Donna mentioned, “Football is always the holidays. It’s football’s family.”
For Swift and Kelce, their relationship has been on full display over the past year with mutual public support. Kelce has been seen cheering for Swift at her concerts, even holding her hand on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards and jumping onto social media to compliment her performances. It's safe to say both parties have worked hard to blend their separate worlds, and Thanksgiving might be another opportunity to achieve just this.
Whatever happens, fans are sure to keep their eyes peeled as this power couple navigates their relationship amid their commitments. Both Swift and Kelce have shown how serious they are about supporting each other, making their commitment more than just public image but rather about genuine happiness within their personal lives. With only days left until the holiday, the anticipation builds around not just the food and football but also who might be at the dinner table this Thanksgiving.
