Donna Kelce has opened up on her decision to change her Facebook profile picture just days before Super Bowl LVIII, as she revealed that she did not plan on doing so until she got caught up in the moment after Kansas City’s AFC Championship win.
Appearing on NBC’s Today Show on Wednesday, the mother of two, who was just unveiled as Ziploc’s first-ever Chief Leftover Officer (CLO), revealed that she wasn’t ‘calculating’ anything by wanting a group photo with others, including Taylor Swift, who also happened to be in the Chiefs’ suite to watch the win over the Ravens in Baltimore, a fortnight ago.
‘That was a picture where all of us were so excited that we were in the suite and we were so excited that [the Chiefs] made it to the Super Bowl that we just took a shot of everybody that was there!,’ said Donna at first. ‘It wasn’t anything like calculating or anything like that… it just was everybody that was supporting my son and I was so happy to put that picture on Facebook.’
Much to the delight of his entourage, Kelce scored an early touchdown in that game – a showdown that many thought the Chiefs would lose – before also overtaking Jerry Rice’s incredible record of 151 postseason receptions.

The 34-year-old tight end charged his team to a 17-10 win before he got emotional in the team’s postgame celebrations, with Taylor, Donna, his older brother (and Eagles center) Jason, and his father Ed, all there to celebrate the occasion of his fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last five seasons.
Speaking ahead of the Chiefs’ departure for Las Vegas, last week, Kelce hailed his family and Taylor’s influence on his preparations to games this season.
