00:00 "Things have gotten even bigger lately."
00:02 "Yeah, it's like every week it's like something new, like really?
00:04 Yeah, it's, I feel like I'm in some kind of an alternate universe."
00:08 Travis Kelce's mom Donna is weighing in on his rumored relationship with pop superstar
00:14 Taylor Swift.
00:16 During the October 6th episode of Today, co-anchor Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb couldn't resist
00:23 asking Donna about her son Travis and Taylor's rumored romance.
00:27 And Donna does her best to stay tight-lipped about her son's personal life.
00:32 "Was that the first time you met Taylor?"
00:35 "Yeah, it's, you know, it's fairly new, so I don't like to talk about it.
00:42 It's just one of those things where, you know, obviously everybody saw me.
00:45 I was in the boxes with her and yeah, it's just, you know, another thing that's amped
00:53 up my life."
00:54 Donna, who has been spotted sitting next to Taylor in Travis' suite during each of the
00:59 Kansas City Chiefs' last two games, says this about her time with Taylor.
01:04 "What was she like?
01:06 What was it, I mean, so you got to know her a little bit, got to sit with a couple games.
01:10 How was it?"
01:11 "It was okay."
01:14 And as for if Travis told his mom to remain tight-lipped during her Today show appearance,
01:20 Donna says this.
01:22 "Did Travis say, 'Mom, if you get on the Today show and start spilling the beans, you
01:27 get a little warning?'"
01:29 "It's not so much a warning, it's his personal life.
01:33 And, you know, I'll talk about my life and when the kids were little and I was with them.
01:37 But you know, they're men now.
01:39 And they've got their own lives.
01:40 And there isn't a man alive that's going to talk to their mom about their personal life.
01:45 It's just not going to happen."
01:47 Though the mom of two NFL stars says that the spotlight can be crazy at times, she admits
01:53 that she loves the thrill.
01:55 "What's it like managing the spotlight, not just for you, but helping them manage the
02:00 spotlight?
02:01 Because there's a lot that's fun about it and it's a lot that's intense and not everyone
02:04 can understand that."
02:05 "Yeah, it is, it's kind of crazy at times, but I love a thrill.
02:11 I love theme parks.
02:12 I love all that kind of stuff.
02:13 I love people.
02:15 So it's just, it's up my alley.
02:17 I don't feel intimidated by it.
02:21 I just embrace it all.
02:23 So it's kind of fun."
02:24 Donna later returns to the third hour of Today to reveal this info about her time with Taylor.
02:30 "Quick question, as we look at this video, Donna, what were you guys talking about in
02:34 the suite?
02:35 Like, was she leaning over asking about the plays that they were running?"
02:38 "I'll never tell.
02:39 You know what I was?
02:41 I was talking about this.
02:42 You know when the commercial people come out in the orange gloves and they're on the field?
02:46 I was mentioning when they go like this, the commercial's over and they can play again."
02:53 As for Travis, who celebrated his 34th birthday on October 5th, Donna says that she's unsure
02:59 how the Chief's tight end celebrated his big day.
03:03 "And I guess yesterday was Travis's birthday.
03:05 Did he have a good birthday?"
03:08 "You know, I'm not sure.
03:09 He's practicing most of the week."
03:11 "Did you get to talk to him?"
03:13 "I didn't.
03:14 I texted him the day before and asked him, you know, I told him, I said, 'Happy birthday.'
03:20 I said, 'I know it's tomorrow, but you're going to get a thousand texts tomorrow.'
03:23 So I texted him the day before and it's true to form.
03:28 He always jokes around and says, 'Love you, Mommy.'
03:30 So it's still at 33."
03:33 Taylor's second and latest appearance cheering on Travis took place on October 1st at Met
03:38 Life Stadium as the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the New York Jets.
03:43 "
03:44 "I'm so excited to be here.
03:45 I'm so excited to be here."
03:45 "I'm so excited to be here."
03:50 (upbeat music)
