Long live Andrea Swift and Donna Kelce’s heartwarming friendship.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s moms stepped out together for a rare — and very sweet — joint appearance during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. Andrea Swift and Donna Kelce braved the winter weather in Park City, Utah, on January 25, enjoying a cozy moms’ day out ahead of their children’s upcoming wedding.
Both women were bundled up for the chilly temperatures. Donna, 73, opted for a long gray puffer coat, black gloves, and a green scarf, while Andrea, 68, looked effortlessly chic in an embroidered black knit cardigan with white trim, paired with matching boots. The two wrapped their arms around each other as they posed for photos, proving their bond is just as strong as fans have suspected. See the photos here.
The outing marks another chapter in the growing friendship between the two matriarchs, whose kids — Taylor, 36, and Travis, 36 — got engaged in August. Back in September, Andrea and Donna were spotted enjoying dinner together alongside Randi Mahomes, the mother of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Randi later shared a snap from the evening on social media, giving fans an inside look at the tight-knit circle forming around the famous couple.
As Swifties know all too well, Andrea played a pivotal role in Taylor and Travis’ love story from the very beginning. During episode five of The Eras Tour: End of an Era documentary, Andrea revealed how she first learned about the Kansas City Chiefs star.
“I was looking at the headlines,” she explained to Taylor. “Perusing around what’s on the internet, I see that this guy came to your show and he brought a friendship bracelet and wants to meet you.”
Still, Andrea made sure to do her homework before giving her stamp of approval.
“I called up my resident expert on the Kansas City Chiefs, my cousin Robin, and I go, ‘Tell me about this guy Travis Kelce,’” she continued. “She goes, ‘Oh my gosh! He’s the nicest guy, and you know what? He really loves his mom.’ I went, ‘Ding, ding, ding.’”

Donna, meanwhile, has been making headlines of her own thanks to her appearance on the latest season of The Traitors. Though she was ultimately voted out for being the secret traitor, the NFL mom left a memorable impression — and even credited Taylor for inspiring her strategy.
During the season four premiere, Donna revealed that Taylor’s song “Vigilante S–t” helped prepare her for the ruthless gameplay. She even echoed the lyrics during the episode, saying, “Don’t get mad, get even,” a nod to Taylor’s line, “Don’t get sad, get even.”
Donna also shared that her decision to join the show was heavily influenced by her sons, Jason [Kelce] and Travis, who are longtime fans of the series. Jason shares daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 9 months, with wife Kylie Kelce.
“They’re so excited,” Donna explained during the January 8 premiere. “Jason is the one that got me involved. We just literally, one weekend during playoffs, we binged it — it was great.”
For Donna, the experience was about more than reality TV. “I never thought in a million years I would get this chance,” she said. “When you get to a certain part in your life, and your kids are starting their own families, it’s so important to reinvent yourself. Do the things you’ve always dreamt of — and that’s how I ended up in Scotland.”
