According to a post from the #Chiefs’ Twitter account, Donna Kelce will be in attendance for the World’s Largest Tailgate this year.

The World’s Largest Tailgate is on again this year ahead of the NFL Kickoff when the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Baltimore Ravens in a home game at Arrowhead Stadium.

The official pregame show promises to be a big event this year and the Chiefs posted on their official Twitter account that Donna Kelce, best known as the mother of NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, will be making an appearance for The World’s Largest Tailgate: Tailgate Games to show the world how Kansas City gets down before games.

Check out the team’s official announcement below:

While it hasn’t been announced if Mrs. Kelce will appear in any of the competitions as part of the event, it would certainly be entertaining to see the parent of two amazing NFL talents take part and perhaps give fans a look at where all that ability came from.

In a recent interview with People, Donna said, “I listened to the whole album, and I listened to it all morning long when it was released.”

The 31-song epic spans over two hours of listening time and travels the gauntlet of every emotion, including a few songs that are believed to be about Travis Kelce.

Donna, who attended multiple Chiefs games with Swift over the course of last season, had nothing but praise for the 14-time Grammy winner.

“I was just very impressed,” she told People. “She is a very talented woman, and I think it is probably her best work.”

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce got emotional at Jason Kelce’s retirement press conference

The #Chiefs tight end was visibly emotional at Jason Kelce’s retirement press conference on Monday.

The offseason is rolling along as free agency looks next week, with many players expected to change teams. The period is also when some players announce their intentions for the new season or retire from the league.

The latest great NFL player to call it a career is Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce. The 13-year professional is considered one of the greatest to play his position, and a can’t miss first ballot Hall of Famer. Jason’s brother Travis has continued to support his brother’s decision to Monday’s press conference.

The younger brother was pictured sitting next to his mother, Donna, visibly emotional watching Jason deliver his retirement speech to a room full of reporters.

“I announce that I am retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles,” said Jason, trying to hold back more tears. “Thank you, Philadelphia, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for letting me represent this city and allowing me into your homes every Sunday.”

Travis had defended the initial belief that Jason would be retiring since the Eagles lost in the wild-card round of the postseason. The duo appeared in recent episodes of the New Heights podcast while Jason continued to mull his decision.
