The Kelce family — including Donna, Jason and his wife Kylie supported Travis Kelce’s superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, as she kicked off the final leg of the Eras Tour in Miami Friday night.
Fans spotted the retired NFL player and Kylie, along with two of their children Wyatt, 4, and Elliotte, 3, entering the Hard Rock Stadium ahead of the show.
While Jason and Kylie have previously attended two of Swift’s shows, Friday night marked the first time for Donna, 72.

Donna’s Eras Tour appearance comes after fans spotted her at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, Fla., on Thursday and another fan posted photos giving her a friendship bracelet.
Jason and Kylie attended the Eras Tour in London over the summer with Travis.
The former Eagles center admitted that he “teared up” during the show.
Meanwhile, Travis, 35, was not present at the show because the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has a game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
He spent last week’s bye week making memories in New York City with Swift. The pair were spotted on two dinner dates and packing on the PDA at Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium.

Kelce has flown around the world to watch Swift rock the stage. Most recently, he traveled to Germany in July to watch two Eras Tour dates before jetting back to Kansas City, Mo., for training camp ahead of the 2024 – 2025 NFL season.
Donna has been supportive of Travis and Swift’s relationship from the start, and she and the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker have been spotted bonding as they cheer Travis on at his NFL games countless times.
Last month, the retired senior banking vice president raved about Travis and 34-year-old Swift’s romance while chatting with Page Six at the New York City premiere of FX’s “Grotesquerie.”
“He’s a good guy. He really is. He’s good. He’s generous,” she noted. “And from what I understand, so is she.”
“I hope they’re having a good time,” she added.

Later in September, she admitted her son doesn’t mind the attention that comes with dating the 14-time Grammy-winning artist.
“He’s always been one to be in the limelight. He loves attention. I mean it, he’s always dancing, always joking around, always having fun… he just loves life,” she told Extra.
Travis and Swift have been dating for well over a year. They first took their relationship public when the musician cheered the pro athlete on at his September 2023 game against the Chicago Bears.
Swift then told Time for her 2023 Person of the Year profile that she and Travis decided to go public with their relationship because they’re “proud of each other.”
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” she added.

“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone.”
Dwyane Wade is now the first Miami Heat player with a statue outside the team’s arena, although many of his fans are unsure if it is a fitting tribute.
The Heat unveiled the statue Sunday, eight months after team president Pat Riley announced plans for the tribute. Wade, a 13-time All-Star, is Miami’s all-time leading scorer, and he and Udonis Haslem are the only players to have been on all three Heat teams that won NBA championships.
“This is crazy,” Wade said at the unveiling. “I wanted to feel this. Life goes by so fast and it’s very rare that we get to feel things, because we’re always off to the next thing. … I wanted to feel this, man. I wanted to look at it.”
Others were less that gushing about the statue, which bears only a passing resemblance to Wade, and compared it to an infamous rendering of Cristiano Ronaldo that attracted widespread ridicule.

“Man who the hell is this??? The Miami Heat did Dwyane Wade filthy with this statue lmao,” one user wrote on social media.
Another referenced Wade’s move to the Chicago Bulls towards the end of his career. “When Pat Riley won’t give you max money so you have to sign with the Bulls,” they wrote.
Others suggested the statue looked more like the actor Laurence Fishburne than Wade.
Wade, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, is one of six former Heat players to have their number retired by the team – along with Haslem, Chris Bosh, Tim Hardaway, Shaquille O’Neal and Alonzo Mourning.
“As the greatest player ever in Miami Heat history, yes, it’s his day, it’s his family’s day,” Riley said.

The statue is accompanied by a wall listing Wade’s career accomplishments and has been placed outside the front doors of the team’s arena. Wade is now a part-owner of the Utah Jazz in addition to having many other business interests.
