Travis Kelce’s mom Donna Kelce has been relatively tight lipped when it comes to discussing his romance with billionaire pop star Taylor Swift.
But the Kelce matriarch, 72, paid a subtle homage to Swift, 34, this week when she appeared on Thursday’s episode of the Today show.
She stopped by the show to whip up her NFL star sons Travis, 35, and Jason’s, 37, favorite dessert: Donna’s famous ‘magic marshmallow crescent puffs.’
When cameras did a close-up on 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 newest album The Tortured Poets Department.
The gold-plated ‘TTPD’ bracelet retails for $40 on Swift’s online store, which 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 — back in April.
The album may be particularly meaningful to Donna as it features the first songs about Swift’s romance with Travis, who she’s been dating since last summer.
During Donna’s Today show appearance, she revealed whether or not Swift will be joining the Kelce family for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
She admitted that she does not have a big dinner planned for Thanksgiving Day, meaning Swift has to fend elsewhere for the holiday meal.
The lack of a feast of turkey, stuffing, green beans, and much more for Travis Kelce’s mom is due to his team the Kansas City Chiefs playing on Black Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
That doesn’t mean Swift and Kelce could host a meal themselves at Travis’ home in the Kansas City suburbs.
‘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 said.
‘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.

Swift has attended 17 Chiefs games since the beginning of her relationship with Kelce, with Kansas City holding a 14-3 record in those games.
Swift has attended every Chiefs home game this season, with Kansas City holding a 5-0 record in those games.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce make decision on $6 million Kansas City home after terrifying raid
The Chiefs are the NFL’s lone unbeaten at 9-0, and they’ll face their toughest test of the season on Sunday afternoon against the Buffalo Bills.
Swift could attend her first road game of the season, as she is performing in Toronto on both ends of the game during the Canadian leg of the ‘Eras Tour’.
It was at Highmark Stadium last season where she met Travis’ older brother and NFL legend Jason Kelce for the first time, as well as Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce.
The Kelce family has also attended several of Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour shows.
Just last month, Jason, wife Kylie, their kids and mom Donna flew to Miami to catch one of Swift’s three performance at the Hard Rock Stadium.
Travis was unable to join his family at the concert due to his team playing against the San Francisco 49ers that same weekend.
Ahead of the Miami show, Donna was gifted a iconic Eras Tour friendship bracelet from one of the singer’s biggest fans.
The fan crafted her custom gold ‘TNT’ bracelet – short for ‘Taylor and Travis.’
Donna was reportedly ‘the nicest person ever’ to the fan, who shared the experience on X (formerly Twitter).

Donna’s appearance at Swift’s Miami concert on October 18 marked her first-ever Eras Tour stop.
Just before the concert, Donna made rare remarks about her son’s relationship with the Anti-Hero hitmaker.
While speaking to Page Six at the premiere of Travis’ TV show debut Grotesquerie, she admitted that the relationship between the couple has been ‘kind of interesting’ while also explaining how they’re so good together.
‘He’s a good guy. He really is. He’s good,’ Donna said of her youngest son.
‘He’s kind. He’s generous. And from what I understand, so is she.’
Donna added: ‘I hope they’re having a good time.’
