Donna Kelce just admitted she lived the new album from Taylor Swift The Tortured Poets Department just like everyone else.
Discussing with PEOPLE in Las Vegas at QVC’s first-ever Age of Possibility summit, the mother stated, “I listened to the whole album, and I listened to it all morning long when it was released.”
I was just very impressed. She is a very talented woman, and I think it is probably her best work,” Donna adds about the new album.
Swift, 34, also makes several references about her relationship with Donna’s son Travis Kelce on numerous tracks.
When asked if she had any advice for Swift about growing up, Donna chimed in saying, “She doesn’t need my advice on anything. In fact, I hope she will give me advice.”
The event included the likes of Martha Stewart, Queen Latifah and Naomi Watts to bring women together for a day of conversations and creative inspiration.
“This event is about the empowerment of women,” Donna says. “A lot of women think if they just work hard and if they do everything, they will get promoted. They don’t realize they have to ask for what they want. You have to say I want that job. They could be thinking she has two kids, she is too busy, she can’t do this. It is important to ask for what you want.”

Donna also went on to tell the outlet that she learned none other than Bradley Cooper and his mother were attending the event.
She went on to admit that Travis, 34, texted her a photo of himself with Swift enjoying a double date on the beach in Carmel, California with Cooper, 49, and Gigi Hadid.
A source also told the outlet that Travis Kelce listened to the full album before the April 19 release.
“He is always in awe of her,” the source said of Travis’ reaction to his girlfriend’s latest release.
Among the lyrics on Swift’s new album that appear to nod to her romance with Travis, the strongest nods to the NFL star are in her songs “The Alchemy” and “So High School.”
In “The Alchemy”, the songstress utilizes several football references in her lyrics. “So when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown,” Swift sings.

“Shirts off, and your friends lift you up, over their heads / Beer stickin’ to the floor, cheers chanted ’cause they said / ‘There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league’ / Where’s the trophy? He just comes, running over to me,” Swift sings, seemingly nodding to Travis reuniting with her on the field after his big Super Bowl win.
The singer also mentions several other references with “So High School” about finding a newfound love feeling ‘so high school.’
Many took note of a previous interview where Kelce said he would kiss Taylor Swift in a game of marry kiss, and kill between herself and Ariana Grande and Katy Perry.
“Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me (Kill me) / It’s just a game, but really (Really) / I’m bettin’ on all three for us two (All three),” Swift sings on the track.
Donna has yet to watch a live show of Taylor’s but that may change in the future.
When asked if seeing the Eras Tour in concert is on her bucket list, she replied,“Hopefully in the future. Yeah, you never know!”
The mother did yet see the Eras Tour concert film.
