HOT: Travis Kelce Shares Insight Into New Year’s Eve Celebration With Taylor Swift and Donna Kelce

Travis Kelce revealed more details on his midnight celebration with mom Donna Kelce, girlfriend Taylor Swift and more friends on the Jan. 3 episode of New Heights.

Travis Kelce wants all of Taylor Swift‘s midnights.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end recently revealed more details on his New Year’s Eve celebration with his girlfriend, as well as his teammates and loved ones.

“It was cool to have all the friends and family,” the 34-year-old said on the Jan. 3 episode of the New Heights podcast. “I think I had over 50 to 55 people come in for this one—a good New Year’s celebration.”

In addition to the “Karma” singer, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes and more pals—the podcast host also revealed he got to ring in the holiday with his mother, Donna Kelce.

“I got to exchange presents with Mama Kelce,” he added to his brother and cohost Jason Kelce. “I can’t tell you what I got because some things are still being made for you—that’s one of the gifts—and it’s awesome. You’re gonna love this gift.”

And while Donna’s attendance was sparsely documented, Taylor was cheer captain for her boyfriend’s Dec. 31 game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium.

The “Bejeweled” singer was even spotted in a Chiefs jacket that included an embroidered “Tay-Tay” token, but was otherwise identical to a jacket Travis wore after his Christmas Day game.

Later, the couple rang in the New Year with a kiss that will screw Swifties up forever. The duo was spotted packing on the PDA in photos that circulated social media from the Chiefs player’s New Year’s Eve celebration with his evergreen group of friends.

As for how Travis’ inner circle feels about his love story? They think it’s nice to have a new friend.

“She’s just part of Chiefs Kingdom now and she’s part of the team,” Travis’ teammate Patrick said of Taylor on a Dec. 25 episode of CBS Mornings. “I’m so glad that she’s the person that she is and I think that’s why her and Travis match so well.”

And in addition to their objective compatibility, there’s plenty more reasons Travis could be the 1 for Taylor. Read on for more details.

No. 1: He’s a Swiftie

Long before Taylor Swift‘s attendance at the Kansas City Chief’s Sept. 24 game became one of the definitive pop culture moments of the year, Travis Kelce was an admirer of the Grammy winner.

The star tight end’s interest in Taylor was first revealed by one of his teammates in a TikTok video posted by the Chiefs in August (which, in hindsight, was when the pair were secretly dating).

Before Travis could answer the prompt of who his celebrity crush was, wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling spilled, “Taylor Swift!”

Travis smiled at the camera before holding his finger up to his moustache, saying, “Alright now!”

Plus, Travis was just one of many celebs to attend Taylor’s record-breaking Eras Tour this summer. But more on that enchanting moment in a bit…

No. 2: He’s Not Her Usual Type (on Paper)

While he does have that daydream look in his eyes (especially when he sees Taylor on the big-screen at one of his games), Travis stands out a bit when you look back at Taylor’s dating history.

She is typically attracted to creative types, including actors (Joe Alwyn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner and Tom Hiddleston) and musicians (Calvin Harris, John Mayer, Harry Styles and, most recently, Matt Healey).

But perhaps that’s why her romance with the lighthearted and cheeky athlete—who signed a four-year deal with the Chiefs worth $57 million in 2020—feels like such a refreshing option for Taylor after her six-year uber-private relationship with Joe came to an end this past April.

No. 3: He Publicly Pursued Her

Looks like the eight-time Pro Bowler’s wishes came true after he all but manifested his rumored romance with the superstar through sheer will, determination and declarations of infatuation.

Travis publicly aired his failed attempt to shoot his shot and talk to Taylor when he attended the Kansas City stop on her Eras Tour July 7. As it turns out, he had a special gift for her: A friendship bracelet bearing his “number” that he hoped to give Taylor. (He wouldn’t definitely say if it was his jersey number or phone number.)

Despite his claim that he was “disappointed” he failed to meet her after the concert, Taylor confirmed to TIME that she belatedly caught his podcast pass.

“Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she recalled. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

So, that whole theory about the Sept. 24 game being their first official hang? As Taylor clarified to TIME, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
