On Wednesday, December 4th, Donna Kelce shared exciting details about her Thanksgiving visit to Taylor Swift’s home in Nashville during an interview. Donna spoke fondly of the experience, revealing that it was the first time the Kelce and Swift families had met for the holiday. She expressed how special it was for both families to come together and see their children happy on such an important occasion.
Donna recalled her time spent with Taylor’s family, sharing a heartfelt moment with Andrea Swift, Taylor’s mother. “I had a long talk with Andrea,” Donna said, adding that Andrea spoke highly of Travis, describing him as “an honest and very funny person.” According to Donna, the couple shares a playful dynamic, often teasing each other like children. “Travis and Taylor both often tease each other like children when they come here,” Donna explained.
The most memorable part of the evening for Donna, however, was when she and Andrea went to the kitchen to watch Taylor and Travis preparing the Thanksgiving dinner. Donna couldn’t help but admire Taylor’s cooking skills, even though she noted that the dishes didn’t necessarily look picture-perfect. “I must admit, I quite admire Taylor’s cooking,” Donna said. “Although it doesn’t look beautiful, Taylor made the dishes very special.”
The highlight of the dinner, according to Donna, was a cake made by Taylor. “I am also a fan of cake, but I have never eaten a cake that tastes so delicious. It is wonderful,” Donna gushed. Taylor revealed that the cake was made from a special type of fermented bean mixed with flour, with the ingredients requiring careful preparation. “If one ingredient is missing, the cake will not taste good,” Taylor explained. Donna was impressed by Taylor’s expertise in baking, noting that even Jason’s children loved the cake.
After the meal, the two families gathered around the fireplace at Taylor’s home to decorate the Christmas tree. Donna described how Andrea folded paper reindeer to hang on the tree, which excited Jason’s children. Meanwhile, Travis and Taylor hung flashing lights and Christmas greeting letters, while Donna and her daughter-in-law, Kylie, wrapped small boxes to decorate the tree. Taylor shared that usually, a candy basket would be set out for the kids living nearby, but this year, they would make a change by decorating with the small boxes.
Donna also mentioned that by the end of the evening, Taylor and Travis needed some private time together after hours of conversation, prompting her and Andrea to step outside for their own chat. The Swift and Kelsey families enjoyed a blended holiday, with Scott and Andrea Swift hosting the entire Kelsey family, including Jason, Kylie, and their children, as well as Donna and Ed. After the holiday gathering, Taylor flew to Kansas City to watch Travis play the Raiders in the NFL’s second annual Black Friday game, which the Chiefs won 19-17.
Looking ahead, Donna hinted at more family celebrations to come. According to reports, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are planning to spend Christmas together, alongside their families. A source told US Weekly that the couple will host Christmas with both the Swift and Kelsey families, though it is still unclear where the gathering will take place. Given that the Swifts hosted Thanksgiving, it could be the Kelseys’ turn to host for the holiday.
As Taylor’s Eras tour wraps up on December 8th in Vancouver, it’s clear that she and Travis will be spending much more time together. It’s highly likely that Taylor will attend Kansas City’s last home game of the year on December 21st against the Houston Texans. Fans are also speculating that she could be spotted at some of the Chiefs’ playoff games, as the team currently holds the AFC’s No. 1 seed, putting them in a strong position for home-field advantage.
As Donna Kelce’s interview showed, the Swift and Kelsey families are continuing to bond, and the holiday season promises even more cherished moments for the couple and their loved ones.
