An interesting detail to note about Donna's story was her selection of music. She picked the song "Opalite", which is Travis Kelce's favorite one from Taylor Swift's latest album called "The Life Of A Showgirl." Interestingly, the song was inspired by the Chiefs tight end, according to Swift.

On Friday, the "Capital Breakfast" radio show released an interview with Taylor Swift, where she shared the backstory of finding inspiration for "Opalite." The "Blank Space" singer revealed that opalite was Kelce's birthstone, and she loved the idea of its existence being man-made.

"And so Travis's birthstone is an opal," Swift said [Timestamp - 6:43] "So it's like that. I've always fixated on that. I've always loved that stone, and I thought it was a kind of cool metaphor that like it's a man-made opal and happiness can also be man-made too. So that's kind of what the song is about, is that the kind of juxtaposition of those two."
