Travis Kelce's secret role this Thanksgiving as he prepares to celebrate with Taylor Swift
‘Taylor is spending the holiday with Travis and several family members,’ a source told DailyMail.com. ‘Taylor and Travis are both grateful to have the day off so that they can just really relax and enjoy their second Thanksgiving together.’
The insider noted that Taylor is relishing the chance to cook up a feast for the group – while she has made her partner aware of the fact he’ll be helping out with the clean-up.
‘Taylor really enjoys cooking and is already prepping tomorrow’s big meal,’ the source said. ‘Travis loves her food and is on dishes duty this year.’
After the festivities, Taylor traveled to Kansas City, where she and Travis’ mom Donna, 72, cheered him on at Arrowhead Stadium.
The joint family dinner came as a surprise after Travis’ mom Donna revealed that her family does not have a big dinner planned for Thanksgiving Day, and that Taylor would probably not be joining them.
‘I don’t think so. She’s kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do,’ she shared on the Today show, one week before Thanksgiving, in reference to Swift’s Eras Tour, which wraps up on December 8th.
‘I am going to be at a football game. Travis is playing the day after Thanksgiving. You know, football is always the holidays. It’s football’s family,’ Donna added.
‘Not that anything’s planned. I think we’re just going to be at the football game.’

Swift has publicly been dating Kelce since last September, when she was in a luxury suite, alongside Donna, for a Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears.
Taylor sent fans into a frenzy as she matched with Donna during Friday’s game at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Grammy winner supported her boyfriend during the Chiefs dramatic win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Shortly before the match kicked off, the Bad Blood songstress was seen arriving to the venue – and was accompanied by both Donna and her father, Scott.
And fans were quick to point out that Taylor and Donna opted to wear matching 87 necklaces during the game – which is in tribute to Travis’ jersey number.
Swift chose to wear a silver-chained necklace with a glittering 87 pendant, while Kelce’s mother donned a flashy, gold version.
Taylor is no stranger to sporting jewelry to cheer on the Chiefs tight end. Earlier this year in February, she notably wore a $4,250 gold ’87’ necklace at the Super Bowl.
Taylor will wrap up her tour in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8 after 149 shows and two years on the road.
An insider told DailyMail.com: ‘This is such an emotional time for her already, but she is so thankful for everything that she has, and has worked for this year.’
‘This tour has been her life and the people on the tour have been her family and as it draws to a close, she has been super emotional – leaning on Travis and her family more than ever.’
And with so few dates to go, Taylor is struggling to accept the fact that it is nearly over because she doesn’t know what she will do to ‘fill’ her days in the aftermath.
After the festivities, Taylor traveled to Kansas City, where she and Donna cheered Travis on at Arrowhead Stadium as the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday
But her close friends believe it is the perfect time for her to ‘start a family’ with NFL champ Travis who has been helping her through this difficult transition.
‘She is such a busy body. She knows she must just take some time to enjoy her successes, but she really doesn’t know what to do to fill her time aside from writing songs.’
‘Taylor cannot be bored and doesn’t really know what she is going to do with her time.’
The source added that while Taylor ‘has not discussed’ becoming a mom recently, it’s something she has talked about wanting in the past – and her loved ones believe it’s the logical next step for her.
‘Her friends believe that she should use this time to take things to the next level with Travis and that it is the perfect time to start a family of her own,’ they continued.
‘She has had everything she has ever wanted and everyone who knows her believes she would make the best mom ever.’
