Donna arrived at the tailgate red carpet sporting a custom “Kelce” denim jacket — complete with Travis’s no. 87 embroidered on the front in Chiefs’ signature yellow and red colors — and a black Chiefs baseball hat.

The mother of two paired her look with red sneakers and got in the spirit on the red carpet with a couple of pom-poms ahead of the team’s home opener.

During the stream, Donna andSaturday Night Livestar Heidi Gardner (who was also the host of NBC’s Transcontinental Tailgate) made friendship bracelets — a nod toTaylor Swift— using the Chiefs colors.

Donna became a household name among football fans when Jason and Travis made history as the first brothers to face off in a Super Bowlin 2023. The game was dubbed the “Kelce Bowl” and Donna sported her iconic split jersey to represent both of her sons.

This season, however, Donna will only have one son’s games to attend after elder son Jason, 36,announced his retirementfrom the NFL in March.
