As Swift walked into the stadium Friday, she was joined by her boyfriend’s mother, Donna Kelce, who got her taste of stardom this week for her role in the Hallmark Channel holiday movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, which dropped today. Before you assume the movie is about Taylor and Travis, calm down. From its press materials, the plot is such: “Alana Higman, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan and her family are competing to win the team’s Fan of the Year contest, in a process judged by the director of fan engagement Derrick.”
It’s the second release in a row for Donna Kelce, who also appeared in Hallmark’s November 22 release, Christmas on Call. In that film about Philadelphia-area first responders, Kelce plays a character named “Donna,” while her character name in Touchdown has yet to be announced.
The Kelce family matriarch is talking about her growing fame in stride, which you might have guessed from the ease with which she tackled Arrowhead’s corridors with Swift. “It’s kind of fun to see people that have been in the industry and to try to learn from them, because I’m such a novice,” she said of her foray into show biz last month.
“I just started. I just have been fortunate because people know who I am. I know where this is coming from. I know they’re interested because of who my children are and who they know, and I just take it with a grain of salt. But it was really fun.”
