NFL player Travis Kelce's mom has hit back at online criticism her son has faced amid speculation surrounding his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Travis Kelce has hit a whole lot of headlines lately for his rumoured relationship with none other than Taylor Swift.
The 'Love Story' singer has been spotted at Kansas City Chiefs games alongside Travis' mom Donna and sadly, it's not just Swifties who've been jumping on the social media train to weigh in on Taylor and Travis' alleged blossoming romance, but Debbie Downers too.
And no one shuts down haters as well as an irritated mom.

The rumour mill has been swirling since Travis admitted he went to one of Taylor's concerts and tried to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it.
Taylor was then spotted attending one of Travis' games, the Chiefs taking on the Chicago Bears, and not only that, but the singer was seen in a private box stood next to Travis' mom.
Since then, Taylor has been to another game and covered by NBC cameras too, however, the 'Blank Space' singer's appearance on the screens didn't go down very well with football fans, an advert of her Eras Tour even being booed.
And it's not just Taylor who's faced a negative reaction, but Travis too.
Donna ultimately thinks the hateful comments are coming from people who are 'just tired of the Kelces'.
She told TODAY.com: "I think they're just tired of it. [...] Especially if they're really into their teams, it's like, 'Enough. We don't want to hear about them anymore.' I think that's what it's going to get to eventually."
Travis' mom also notes she thinks 'financially' it's 'a good decision for a lot of different individuals to jump on the bandwagon right now' and speculate about her son and Taylor's potential romance.
But what would Donna say to the haters?
Well, she simply doesn't 'really answer'.
"People are going to be either jealous or tired of it or whatever, and they can make whatever comments they want," Donna explains. "But I don't have to agree with them or be upset by them."
Ultimately, the mom resolves: "It's just their opinion. And the only opinion that matters is mine."
