Travis Kelce looks glum to celebrate his birthday WITHOUT Taylor Swift after his mom Donna ‘shaded’ the pop star… but the Chiefs band rejoices with a photo request from a blonde admirer
Travis Kelce didn’t seem too excited about celebrating his 34th birthday in Kansas City without his new girlfriend Taylor Swift, but he quickly perked up when he received a photo request from a young fan.
Kelce took the time to have his photo taken with the blonde woman outside the Golden Ox in Kansas City, where the two-time Super Bowl winner enjoyed a night out with friends on Thursday – two days before heading to Minneapolis for the Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The identity of the blond fan on Kelce’s arm is unknown and the Chiefs tight end was apparently just being friendly to the home fans, several of whom had their photos taken with him.
It is unclear whether Swift will be in attendance at US Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Chiefs are 2-0 with the pop star in attendance since she started dating Kelce last month. Swift was in attendance during the Chiefs’ 41-10 win over the Bears on September 24, when she was seen celebrating Kelce’s touchdown with her mother, Donna. She and Donna were seated next to each other again in a luxury suite during last Sunday’s 23-20 win over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
But when asked Friday on the Today Show about the opportunity to sit down with a world-famous celebrity for her son’s soccer games, Donna gave the impression she wasn’t impressed by his meeting with Swift.

The identity of the blonde woman is not known, and it appears Kelce was just being friendly.
After politely agreeing to take photos with his fans, Kelce entered the restaurant to celebrate with friends.
“Yeah, it’s — you know, it’s pretty new, so I don’t like to talk about it,” Donna said of her introduction to Swift. “It’s just one of those things where, you know, obviously everyone saw me…I was in the dressing room with her. And yeah, it’s just, you know, another thing that has energized my life.
‘What did she look like?’ asked NBC’s Savannah Guthrie. “I mean, so you got to know her a little bit. I got to sit with her for a few games. How was it?’
But Donna apparently wasn’t in the mood to be rushed and simply joked: “It was fine.”
Travis Kelce, for his part, seems absolutely thrilled to be spending time with Swift, saying the new romance has made him happier than when he won the Super Bowl earlier this year.
The Chiefs star spoke to the media on Friday afternoon and was asked about his state of mind with much more attention paid to his every move.
“As all the attention comes in, I feel like, you know, I was on top of the world after the Super Bowl and right now even more on top of the world now,” he said. he declared.
“There are a lot of people who care about Taylor, for good reason. I must continue to live, learn and enjoy the moments.
“We’re learning with the paparazzi taking pictures everywhere, but that comes with it.”
Kelce also insisted that this new attention would not distract him from football.
“I’ve always been pretty good at compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building,” he said. “I’m just going to keep riding with this man.

“Everyone has fun with it, whether I think they’re overdoing it or not. I know I brought this to myself and I get to have fun with it. All that really matters is that it doesn’t bother anyone, at least here.
Kelce had seemed earlier this week reluctant to go into too much detail about things between him and the pop star.
In the latest episode of his New Heights podcast – which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles – he criticized the NFL for the attention it gave to Swift when she attended its matches.
NBC switched to Swift 17 times during Sunday’s game, to which Kelce said, “Damn, that’s crazy.” It’s like once per trip. Mom told me everyone was having fun.
