Taylor Swift’s latest romantic venture has a surprising catalyst: her mom. Andrea Swift played a pivotal role in nudging her daughter towards NFL star Travis Kelce, as revealed in the latest episodes of the “End of an Era” docuseries released on Friday.

Andrea, now 67, stumbled upon headlines about Kelce’s public admiration for Taylor while browsing online. Intrigued by his interest, she decided to dig deeper into the Kansas City Chiefs player’s background.

Determined to learn more, Andrea reached out to her cousin, a self-proclaimed expert on the Missouri-based team, to gather insights about the Super Bowl champion.

In a reflective moment captured in Taylor’s dressing room before an October 2024 Eras Tour show in New Orleans, Andrea shared her findings with her daughter. “She told me, ‘Oh my God, he’s the nicest guy. And he really adores his mom, Donna Kelce,'” Andrea recounted. This glowing endorsement from her cousin may have been the nudge Taylor needed.

Andrea reflected on this with Taylor in her dressing room ahead of an October 2024 Eras Tour stop in New Orleans, saying, “She said, ‘Oh, my God. He’s the nicest guy. And you know what? He really loves his mom, [Donna Kelce].”

“I went, ding, ding, ding, Now, how in the world am I gonna get her to meet him?” she asked, with Taylor confirming that her dating history had indeed skewed “non-athlete.”

Additionally, Andrea noted that Travis’ gesture — bringing a friendship bracelet with his phone number to a show in the hopes of giving it to Taylor — “said a lot” about his character.

“It was so earnest,” she explained. “I thought it was the sweetest thing in the world that he came to your show, he brought you something from your world. … I liked it.”

At the time, Andrea spoke to Taylor on the phone about Travis’ interest.

“You called me up with this tone of, ‘Hey, so I know you’re not gonna react well to this. But there’s a guy,’” the Grammy winner remembered. “You said something to the effect of, ‘You’ve got to start doing something different.’”

Andrea added that Travis is “really cute.”

Taylor and Travis, ultimately, began dating in July 2023, with the tight end getting down on one knee in August.

When the first trailer for Taylor’s Eras Tour docuseries dropped the following month, Andrea made headlines for gushing about the “happiness” her daughter’s fiancé brings.

The duo are expected to tie the knot next June 13, with Page Six hearing they want to walk down the aisle at Rhode Island’s Ocean House in Watch Hill.

Episodes one through four of “End of an Era” are streaming on Disney+, with the final two coming out Dec. 23.
