Taylor Swift’s newest album has another big fan — her boyfriend’s mom.
Donna Kelce told People that she’s a huge fan of “The Tortured Poets Department,” the double album that was released to high praise on Friday.
The mother of Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce said she didn’t wait long to listen to all of the music, getting into it during the morning of the release.

“I was just very impressed. She is a very talented woman, and I think it is probably her best work,” Kelce told People.

This came after Kelce, 71, “liked” the pop star’s post announcing her ‘TTPD’ in the early hours of Friday morning.
It’s been a whirlwind year for Swift and the Chiefs star, which started in earnest for them during the fall when rumors were eventually confirmed that the two were indeed a high-profile pair.
Both Ed and Donna Kelce, amid all of the coverage, were watching Chiefs games in a suite with Swift, more often than not, in tow.
When this happened for the first time, the three-time Super Bowl champion said on the “New Heights” podcast he hosts with his brother, Jason, that the moment was just a bit terrifying.
Here’s what to know about Taylor Swift’s new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’:
The 14-time Grammy winner released her highly anticipated 11th studio album “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday.
Swift sent her fans into a frenzy at 2 a.m. after revealing the record is a double album. Titled “The Anthology,” Swift’s late-night surprise includes 15 bonus tracks, bringing the total song count to a whopping 31.
Swift initially unveiled her 16-song album at midnight, including collaborations with Post Malone and Florence Welch on two tracks. There are also four bonus tracks, “The Manuscript,” “The Bolter,” “The Albatross,” and “The Black Dog” that are featured on various vinyl versions of the album. The four tracks, as well as 11 new songs, are included in “The Anthology.”
A poem about heartbreak that serves as a prologue for the album was written by Fleetwood Mac alum Stevie Nicks.
While some of Swift’s exes aren’t spared on “TTPD,” the singer, 34, does seemingly reference her current beau Travis Kelce on the new album’s track “The Alchemy” in a loving way.
As for her exes, 1975 frontman Matty Healy is reportedly referenced throughout the 31-song-strong record. In fact, Healy — who, before their summer split, was a rebound romance for the pop superstar following her breakup with British actor Joe Alwyn after six years — appears to be the subject of the vicious takedown “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Other fans, however, may speculate the “sparkling summer” line is about Alwyn. There are also hints that “I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)” — gotta love that title — might be about 35-year-old Healy.
As for Alwyn, Swift dropped hints at the pair’s ill-fated 6-year romance for a good — or for him, not so good — part of the album. Check out the 10 Alwyn-related references we’ve spotted.

“Yeah, Taylor talking to dad, you already know, you know Dad like I know dad,” Travis said in October after his Chiefs hosted the Broncos.
His brother added, “Which is he shouldn’t be talking to Taylor Swift.”
“This is a terrifying conversation and I felt terrible for Taylor for being in this,” Travis replied.

The Kelces and Swift even shared a star-studded suite during Super Bowl 2024 in Las Vegas, and after the dramatic overtime win by Kansas City, Donna and Swift were seen briefly holding hands down on the field before they embraced Travis.
And much like his mother, Travis was completely impressed by Swift’s newest music, with a source telling People just how excited he was for the double album release.
