Donna Kelce took in the 4th of July fireworks in Manhattan hours after her son Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding to Taylor Swift.
Donna was photographed during the 50th Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks on Saturday, July 4, where she watched the patriotic light display from New York City’s Pier 17.
The Macy’s occasion marked the United States’ largest Independence Day celebration, held in honor of the country’s 250th anniversary. To celebrate, Macy’s launched brightly colored bursts that reached 1,000 feet in the sky and had over 85,000 special effects. The show, hosted by Terry Crews, featured performances by Alexia Jayy, Noah Kahan, Post Malone, Bebe Rexha, Salt-N-Pepa, Shaboozey and Blake Shelton.
Donna, for her part, brought plenty of red, white and blue spirit in her American flag T-shirt, which she paired with white jeans and a chunky red statement necklace. Her glasses also fit the theme thanks to its cherry-red hue. She was joined by her brother, Don, alongside his wife and other friends.
Just hours earlier on Friday, July 3, Donna’s youngest child, Travis, married pop star Swift, 36, in a grand ceremony held at Madison Square Garden.
“I really can’t say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical,” Donna gushed on Saturday.
Few details of the bride and groom’s big day have been publicly shared.
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the bride and groom,” a rep for Swift revealed via press release. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. [Both of] their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
Many of Swift and Travis’ guests described the ceremony as “intimate,” as the newlyweds opted against a traditional bridal party.
“Her brother, Austin Swift, served as Taylor’s ‘Man of Honor’ and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man,” a statement noted. “The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.”
Donna shares Travis, 36, and Jason, 38, with her ex-husband Ed Kelce. The entire Kelce brood has sung Swift’s praises since she started dating the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in 2023.
“We’re sitting in the game and the Chiefs were in the red zone. And they had… to go for a field goal. And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘I hate field goals.’ And Taylor comes back and says, ‘I’ll take the points,’” Ed recalled of meeting Swift at one of Travis’ games during a 2023 interview.. “And I’m thinking, ‘look at you… a year ago you didn’t know a field goal from an extra point, and now you’re doing all this football talk.’”
He added at the time, “She’s just a joy to be around.”
