Travis Kelce’s mother Donna Kelce has remained relatively tight-lipped when it comes to discussing his romance with billionaire pop star Taylor Swift.
But the Kelce matriarch, 72, paid a subtle tribute to Swift, 34, this week when she appeared on Thursday’s episode of the Show today.
She stopped by the show to prepare her NFL star sons Travis, 35, and Jason’s, 37, favorite dessert: Donna’s famous “magic marshmallow crescent clouds.”
When cameras got a close-up of Donna’s hands adding ingredients to a glass bowl, eagle-eyed fans noticed she was rocking a bracelet from Swift’s merchandise line.
Specifically, Donna wore a bracelet inspired by Swift’s latest album The Tortured Poets Department.
The gold-plated ‘TTPD’ bracelet retails for $40 at Swift’s online storewhich recently released a holiday collection.

Donna has worn the bracelet several times since Swift released The Tortured Poets Department — which has earned six Grammy Award nominations — in April.
The album could be particularly meaningful for Donna as it features the first songs about Swift’s romance with Travis, whom she has been dating since last summer.
During Donna’s Today show, she revealed whether or not Swift will join the Kelce family for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
She admitted that she doesn’t have a big dinner planned for Thanksgiving Day, which means Swift will have to find the holiday meal elsewhere.
The lack of a feast of turkey, stuffing, green beans and more for Travis Kelce’s mother is due to the fact that his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, is playing the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday.
That doesn’t mean Swift and Kelce can host a meal at Travis’ home in the Kansas City suburbs.
‘I’m going to a football match. Travis plays the day after Thanksgiving. You know, football is always a holiday. It’s the family of football,” Donna said.
‘Not that anything is planned. I think we’ll just go to the football game.’
Swift has been dating Kelce since last September, when she was in a luxury suite with Donna before a Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears.

Swift has attended seventeen Chiefs games since beginning her relationship with Kelce, with Kansas City having a 14-3 record in those games.
Swift has been at every Chiefs home game this season, with Kansas City sporting a 5-0 record in those games.
The Chiefs are the only undefeated team in the NFL at 9-0, and they will face their toughest test of the season against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon.
Swift could be attending her first road game of the season as she performs on both sides of the game in Toronto during the Canadian leg of the ‘Eras Tour’.
Last season, she met Travis’ older brother and NFL legend Jason Kelce for the first time at Highmark Stadium, as well as Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce.
The Kelce family has also attended several of Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour shows.
Last month, Jason, wife Kylie, their children and mother Donna flew to Miami to attend one of Swift’s three performances at Hard Rock Stadium.
Travis was unable to attend his family at the concert because his team was playing the San Francisco 49ers that same weekend.
Before the Miami show, Donna was gifted an iconic Eras Tour friendship bracelet by one of the singer’s biggest fans.
The fan created her custom gold “TNT” bracelet – short for “Taylor and Travis.”
Donna was reportedly “the nicest person ever” to the fan, who shared the experience X (formerly Twitter).

Donna’s performance at Swift’s concert in Miami on October 18 marked her first-ever Eras Tour stop.
Just before the concert, Donna made rare comments about her son’s relationship with the Anti-Hero hitmaker.
While speaking to Page Six at the premiere of Travis’ TV debut Grotesquerie, she admitted that the couple’s relationship was “pretty interesting,” while also explaining how they are so good together.
‘He’s a good guy. He really is. He’s good,” Donna said of her youngest son.
‘He’s nice. He is generous. And from what I understand, so is she.”
Donna added, “I hope they have a good time.”
