Taylor Swift’s cinnamon rolls for Travis Kelce have surprising connection to his mom’s ‘go-to’ holiday tradition
Taylor Swift and Donna Kelce seem to have more in common than just Travis Kelce.
The NFL star’s mother’s most prized holiday dish is cinnamon rolls, which his singer girlfriend has made for him.
“I bake cinnamon rolls. They’re always my favorite, my go-to,” Donna, 71, told Us Weekly, explaining that she “can only do it a couple times a year” because it’s “so sugary.”
She went on to add that although she’s “not a good cook,” she “love[s] to bake” for her loved ones.
Perhaps she and Swift, 34, can swap recipes.
Bernie Kosar recently dished on the pop star’s baking skills, revealing on the “Tobin and Leroy” show that he was charmed to see Swift at Travis’ Missouri mansion when the retired quarterback popped in for a meal before the Sept. 24 game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears.
“Taylor is so nice,” Kosar, 60, shared. “She comes in by herself, she’s so cool, she brings … she made her homemade cinnamon rolls for Travis for a pregame meal.”
The former NFL star added that although he’s “trying to be vegan and gluten-free,” he couldn’t resist sampling some of the Grammy winner’s homemade goods.
Swift posted a photo of her gooey pastries via Instagram in May 2020, cheekily captioning the mouthwatering snap, “When you’re proud of your buns so you post them on the internet.”
It’s possible Travis, 34, will get another taste of the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker’s sweet treats on Christmas Day and/or New Year’s Eve.
As Page Six exclusively reported, the couple will be spending both holidays together in the tight end’s city.
“She’ll for sure be at the games,” an insider told us of the Chiefs’ match against the Las Vegas Raiders on Dec. 25. and their Dec. 31 one against the Cincinnati Bengals, both of which will take place at Arrowhead Stadium.
It’s unclear if the songstress will stay in Kansas City in between games or if she’ll fly to Tennessee to be with her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift.
Our source was unable to confirm whether the Swift matriarch and patriarch will be with their famous daughter and her new beau on Christmas and/or to ring in 2024.
As for Taylor’s relationship with Donna, the latter gushed to WSJ. Magazine last month about how smitten her son was.
“I can tell you this,” she teased. “He’s happier than I’ve seen him in a long time … God bless him. He shot for the stars!”
