Donna Kelce’s review of Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department is in. The singer’s eleventh studio album dropped on April 19 and was met with many glowing reviews. Now, Travis Kelce’s mom has shared her own reaction, and she seems to approve.

Speaking to People, she said, “I listened to it all morning long when it was released. I was just very impressed. She is a very talented woman, and I think it is probably her best work.”

When asked what advice she’d offer her son’s girlfriend, Donna said, “She doesn’t need my advice on anything. In fact, I hope she will give me advice.”

Swifties think the singer refers to her relationship with Travis several times on the new album, particularly on the tracks “The Alchemy” and “So High School.” Speaking to People, a source claimed that the Kansas City Chiefs star had listened to the album before its official release and was “in awe” of Swift’s new material.

The singer’s relationship with Donna blossomed throughout the 2023-24 NFL season, during which they cheered on Travis together at several games, including the 2024 Super Bowl in February.

This isn’t the first time Donna has given her verdict on a Swift release. In November 2023, she told People she’d watched the singer’s Eras Tour concert movie. “I did see it and I did like it. It was awesome,” she said, adding that she was “totally enthralled” by the “extremely, extremely talented” singer.

As for the concert itself, which is set to continue globally throughout 2024, Donna is yet to attend. However, she hopes to watch Swift perform live “in the future.”
