Taylor Swift’s new mother-in-law is now officially a Swiftie.
While jetting out of New York City on Sunday, Donna Kelce wore an ‘Eldest Daughter’ hat – a reference to Swift’s 2025 song of the same name.
The bright hat, made up in a teal and orange colorway, was just another sign of how Taylor has been embraced by the Kelce family.
Smiling, Donna proudly wore the merchandise as she rolled her luggage through the airport alongside her brother Don, just one day after celebrating her son Travis Kelce’s wedding to Taylor.
After months of teases, rumors and conflicting reports, the couple finally married in front of 1,000 of their closest friends – and the world’s biggest stars – in a colossal blowout at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
Donna, 73, has since broken her silence on the nuptials – where guests were reportedly issued non-disclosure agreements – though admitted she wasn’t at liberty to say much.

‘I really can’t say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man! Magical,’ Donna told Macy’s during their 50th Fourth of July Celebration in New York City.
Both the bride and groom were dressed in Christian Dior, her publicist announced.
There were no bridesmaids, instead, Taylor’s brother Austin acted as her ‘man of honor’, and Travis’s brother Jason was the best man.
The couple’s Love Story began three years ago this week, when Kelce first laid eyes on the songstress at her Kansas City Eras Tour concert on July 8, 2023.
The Chiefs tight end tried to meet Swift that evening, bringing along a friendship bracelet that contained his phone number. However, his attempt at handing her the jewelry was unsuccessful.
At the same time, Swift was at her own professional peak, traveling the world for her sold-out stadium shows, with Kelce flying in to support her.
Despite their hectic schedules and intense public interest in their romance, Kelce claimed that he felt calmed by both his girlfriend’s presence and down-to-earth nature.
‘Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people.… When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love,’ he told GQ.

When the couple announced their engagement in August of last year, social media exploded in celebration, with fans immediately speculating about their wedding.
Details of the nuptials were shrouded in secrecy since that day, with scant details leaking to the press.
In a statement confirming the marriage, Swift’s publicist said in a statement obtained by People: ‘The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture.
‘They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom. This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry

‘Taylor & Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen. Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.’
Two guests who attended the wedding told NBC News that the couple’s exchanges drew tears from the audience – and that the NFL star was ‘more emotional’ than the bride at the ceremony.
‘You would think the bride would be the one crying more, but it was actually Travis that was more emotional,’ a guest said.
