Kelce praised his mother’s work ethic throughout the interview and said Swift demonstrated the same determination.

“I’ve seen Taylor do the exact same thing of setting goals for herself and exceeding the expectations and really captivating the world in that regard.”

He noted that Swift’s Eras Tour was the perfect example of her drive for excellence. He believed it was physically harder than his career in the NFL.

Donna Kelce responded to her son’s praise

Kelce heaped glowing praise onto his mother during the GQ interview. When asked, she spoke about what she was like as a mother. Though she likely appreciated his compliments, she didn’t think she was all that different from the average mother.

“You know, I think I’m relatable to a lot of moms that are out there,” she told People. “I mean, we’re doing everything. We’re cooking, we’re cleaning, we’re driving our kids places. It just seems like we’re running all around. We try to get help from the people that are at home, and sometimes we do and sometimes we don’t because they’re busy running out and doing their own thing, too.”

She believes that her sons picked up on the effort she put into making a good life for them.

“As a working mom, they see their mothers busy and working both at home and in the workplace — and so I think they saw that,” she said. “They had to have seen it when they were growing up.”
