Taylor Swift may not have been at Monday night's game cheering for Travis Kelce but his mother Donna was in attendance. Donna Kelce was seen by fans at the stadium ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs' "Monday Night Football" showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Donna Kelce not only attended the game at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, she also had a nod to Taylor Swift with her gameday look. She wore a Chiefs' Travis Kelce jersey but then paired it with a hat that featured a sketch of the Grammy winner's face.

The hat was also customized with different lyrics and phrases related to the singer. Donna also wore a pin that said "Karma is a guy on the Chiefs" another nod to her son and future daughter-in-law.
