Travis Kelce revealed celebrating the holidays with Taylor Swift helped lift his spirits after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Christmas Day loss. Kelce’s festive spirits were dampened by a 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day as girlfriend Taylor watched on once again.
When asked by his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, who is married to his Eagles star brother Jason, how his holiday was, Travis admitted that the defeat made his Christmas bittersweet. But he did appear to suggest that spending the day celebrating with the pop star brought some joy to the day. ‘F**kin’ the worst, I’m not gonna lie,’ Travis admitted, referencing the game, on his and Jason’s New Heights podcast. ‘I’ve had better. But it ended well. It ended well with good Christmas cheer and good people,’ Travis said. ‘That’s always gonna save Christmas no matter if you lose to the Raiders or not.’
Taylor had hot footed it across the country on Monday in order to see her boyfriend in action for Kansas City. She arrived at Arrowhead, wishing everyone a ‘Merry Christmas’ as she entered the ground, joined by Santa Claus, who carried a sack and wore a special Chiefs hat. Also among the convoy were the singer’s parents, Andrea and Scott. Swift’s father was also alongside her at Gillette Stadium the previous week, wearing a Chiefs jumper as the Chiefs beat the Patriots.
On Monday, he was decked out in a Christmas hat and a Christmas sweater for the game. It’s believed to be the first game Andrea Swift has attended with her daughter. Taylor was later seen screaming Travis’s name as she sat alongside the Santa, thought to be her brother, Austin, in a suite. The Swifts are believed to have spent the rest of Christmas with Travis and his father, Ed. Meanwhile, Travis’s mom, Donna, spent the holiday with the other Kelces as she cheered on Jason and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Donna baked homemade cookies at the Eagles game on Christmas Day in aid of the NFL team’s autism foundation. Donna posed for a photograph with Kylie for a heartwarming picture on Christmas Day that was posted on the Eagles Autism Instagram page, holding a box of her very own ‘Mama Kelce’ cookies. ‘The best gift of all: an Eagles WIN and raising money for our Eagles autism community,’ the caption read. ‘Thank you Donna Kelce for donating proceeds from Mama Kelce’s cookie sale to the Eagles Autism Foundation!’.
The cookies were also sold at the Chiefs game as well but the fixture clash with the Chiefs and Eagles meant Donna had to choose which son to support. However, the Kelce matriarch appears set to spend a different holiday with Travis and Taylor as she revealed on Friday that she will fly to Kansas City to cheer on the Chiefs for their New Year’s Eve game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
