It’s official: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrated Thanksgiving together for the first time, marking a significant milestone in their blossoming relationship. The pop superstar and her family, including her mother Andrea Swift and father Scott Swift, hosted the NFL tight end and members of his family for the festive holiday gathering in Nashville, Tennessee, according to a report from People on Sunday.
It was a special occasion that brought both families together, blending traditions and creating new memories.
“Taylor and Travis had a wonderful Thanksgiving together with their families,” an insider shared with the outlet over the weekend. The source described the Tennessee gathering as “very festive and special,” noting how much everyone enjoyed the day. “It’s the first Thanksgiving they celebrated together. Taylor and her family were thrilled to host the Kelces this year.”
The gathering wasn’t just limited to the couple’s immediate families. Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, made the trip with his pregnant wife, Kylie Kelce, and their three daughters—Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1—adding to the warmth of the occasion.
The families reportedly shared in traditional Thanksgiving activities, enjoyed a festive meal, and took the opportunity to strengthen their bonds. The presence of young children made the day even more joyous, with laughter filling the Swift family home.
Interestingly, the festive get-together came as something of a surprise to many fans, particularly after Donna Kelce, Travis and Jason’s mom, had previously suggested that Taylor might be too busy to attend any Thanksgiving celebrations.
Last month, Donna, 72, had mentioned during an appearance on the “Today” show that Taylor, 34, would be unlikely to join in for Thanksgiving due to her demanding schedule. “I don’t think so,” Donna said when asked if she expected to spend the holiday with the Grammy-winning artist. “She’s kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do,” she added, referencing Taylor’s record-breaking Eras Tour, which is set to wrap up on December 8.

Donna Kelce had shared that her own holiday plans revolved around football, intending to celebrate by attending Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs game against the Las Vegas Raiders the day after Thanksgiving.
However, it turns out that Taylor not only made time for her new relationship but also embraced the opportunity to be with both her family and Travis’ during the holiday, showcasing the strength of their connection.
In addition to the Thanksgiving festivities, Taylor also attended the Chiefs’ game against the Raiders, showing her support for Travis in her own stylish way.
The singer was spotted sporting a new necklace that featured her significant other’s jersey number, symbolizing her love and pride for the star athlete. Her game-day ensemble featured a red Louis Vuitton sweater and black jeans, adding a fashionable flair to the occasion.
While sitting in the stands with Donna Kelce and Travis’ father, Ed Kelce, Taylor was seen engaging with fans, handing out souvenirs to young supporters and sharing celebratory selfies with the other WAGs (wives and girlfriends) after the Chiefs’ victory. It was clear from her enthusiasm and interactions that Taylor has embraced her role in Travis’ life, supporting him both on and off the field.
The relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, which began during the summer of 2023, has continued to progress, with each public appearance further solidifying their bond.
This Thanksgiving was a far cry from the previous one, during which the couple spent the holiday apart. At that time, Taylor was on her Eras Tour in South America, and Travis had jokingly shared his solo plans on the “New Heights” podcast that he co-hosts with his brother Jason. “I’ll be feasting on KFC because I won’t have anybody here,” the tight end quipped about his Thanksgiving plans in 2023.
This year, however, things have clearly changed, and Taylor and Travis are making every effort to be together despite their busy schedules.
Their families coming together for Thanksgiving speaks volumes about their commitment to each other and the importance they place on integrating their personal lives.
Fans are now eagerly looking forward to what’s next for this power couple as they continue to share their journey, both privately and publicly.
