Jason and Travis Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, has been honored in Glamour Magazine's "Women of the Year: The Moms" edition. She graced the cover alongside Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles, Bille Eilish's mother Maggie Baird and Selena Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey.
The cover was intended to highlight the impact the mothers of some of the biggest stars have had on their lives. However, some fans questioned why Donna Kelce was included, noting that the other mothers featured have children primarily in the music industry.
While Jason and Travis Kelce are professional athletes, they have also dabbled in pop culture and entertainment. Notably, Travis Kelce recently made his acting debut in the series "Grotesquerie".

"Swifties" questioned why her mother, Andrea wasn't chosen to be on the cover. Some fans thought that perhaps she had declined the opportunity and that Glamour Magazine decided to choose Donna Kelce instead.

The outrage among fans on X regarding why Donna Kelce was chosen over Andrea Swift continued. Some fans seemed to be overwhelmed by the Kelce family's constant presence in the news, on television and everywhere else.
"Donna's children have zero albums between them," one fan said.
"Travis kelce’s mom is here and not Taylor’s??? the math aint mathing," another fan said.
"mothers of artists and then Donna ?" asked one fan.
Donna Kelce shared the impact sudden fame has had on her family
Donna Kelce first became a household name when her sons Jason and Travis Kelce faced off in Super Bowl LVII. She was known for her split jerseys and apparel that showed support for both sons and their teams.
In September 2023, Donna's fame increased even more when Travis Kelce began dating Taylor Swift. She was seen sitting next to Swift in the stadium suites throughout the 2023 NFL season. Donna told Glamour Magazine that the family's increase in fame has its costs, mainly their privacy.
“We can’t go anywhere really. If we want to do something, you have to rent out the restaurant or movie theater or whatever. I do get to sneak away every once in a while, and we go to places that nobody knows where they are,” Donna told Glamour Magazine.
Donna told the publication that while it is difficult to find time away from the spotlight, she is glad that her children are adults before she had to handle fame. She said that she is glad both of her sons had normalcy during their childhood.
