Donna Kelce, mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, has become a beloved figure among football fans, often celebrated for her spirited support and distinctive game-day attire. However, during the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 29, 2024, her outfit choice sparked considerable attention and debate.

Arriving at Arrowhead Stadium alongside singer Taylor Swift, who is dating her younger son Travis, Donna sported a pair of black leather pants paired with a black jacket adorned with a bedazzled Chiefs logo. Donna, affectionately known to Chiefs fans and Swifties as “Mama Kelce,” finished the look with a red and black scarf matching the ensemble and a pair of white sneakers. Swift stayed on theme with tight black pants, black leather boots and a bright red Louis Vuitton sweater. She accessorized the look with her signature red lip, jewelry, and a braided ponytail.

The singer was taking a break from the Canadian leg of her Eras Tour and stepped out to support her boyfriend. She and Donna have often been spotted at Travis’ games cheering him on, sometimes even joined by her mother, Andrea. While the “Shake It Off” singer and her boyfriend’s mother made for a striking pair in their red gear, many netizens felt that Donna and Taylor missed the mark with their fashion choices this time.

The reactions to Swift and Mama Kelce’s matching looks at the Kansas City Chiefs against the Las Vegas Raiders game failed to win over some social media users, who instantly voiced their thoughts.

“They look ridiculous,” one user wrote.

Another user chimed in with the opinion that Mama Kelce could have chosen a more age-appropriate style of pants, commenting:

“Someone tell mom she’s too old for leather party pants. Just no.”

Many more took to social media to slam Mama Kelce for opting to wear leather pants. A user on Reddit also expressed their disbelief at the outfit choice.

“Not Donna in leather pants,” they remarked.

These views were widely shared, with one asking the question that many were asking themselves and one another in the comment sections all over social media:

“Why in gods name is Donna Kelce wearing leather pants?”

However, some thought that not even leather pants could take away Mama Kelce’s warm aura and showered her with love. One charmingly wrote:

“How cute is mama Donna tho!!??!!”

Swift’s relationship with Travis’s mom has been an object of fascination and awe, with the two famously spotted embracing, whispering and having a great time in each other’s company at Chiefs games. At this point, they often either match or complement each other’s outfits. One user commented:

“Yes Taylor looks good, but can we have a moment for Donna Kelce? Her fit is fire!”

Donna later revealed that her black jacket covered a Chiefs jersey signed and autographed by Travis, making the gesture even sweeter. The quarterback wrote, “Love you, Mommy” on her jersey, and she showcased the details with pride. She also appeared in a special edition of famous mothers in Glamour’s Mothers of the Year. With Jason and Kylie Kelce expecting their fourth child and Taylor and Travis happily in love, it’s been a fantastic year for the family!
