Taylor Swift has fully embraced auntie mode ahead of her highly anticipated wedding to Travis Kelce.
“Everybody knows how close Travis is with his family, so it really means everything to him how seamlessly Taylor blends in with all of them,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2024 of Swift’s easy rapport with Kelce’s relatives. “His family is all about just hanging out, joking and having a great time. It’s almost like she’s known his family forever, and he loves that about her.”
Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end have been together since summer 2023. In the years since, the pop star has blended seamlessly in with the Kelce clan — including with the four daughters of Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce: (Jason and Kylie are parents of Wyatt, Ellie, Bennett and Finnley.)

Taylor Swift Bakes for Travis Kelce’s Nieces
During her August 2025 debut on the Jason and Travis’ “New Heights” podcast, the pop superstar opened up about her hobbies, which she jokingly called “grandma” coded — including a sourdough fixation that has turned into a family-wide love language between her and Travis’ four nieces.
“Right now, we’re very deep in a sourdough obsession,” she said at the time. “I’ve been workshopping [one] for the girls because they love everything rainbow: Funfetti sourdough.”
She added, “They love sprinkles. We put sprinkles in everything when we hang out.”
Taylor Swift Introduced Travis Kelce’s Nieces to Her Cats
Elsewhere during her “New Heights” debut, Swift revealed that she aimed to show the girls that cats weren’t poisonous despite Jason’s claims to the contrary.
“As soon as I got the kids around the cats, it was my goal to prove to them that they weren’t poisonous,” she said. “There’s no better way to prove that than to just hand them Benjamin, my ragdoll cat, who lets humans hold him like he’s a baby. My favorite thing ever is when Bennie will come up to me and just go, ‘I find Benjamin, I find him.’ And she’s just over there laying with him and petting him and holding him.”
Swift has three pet cats: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.
“The cats are so good with kids,” she gushed. “They’re just like, ‘Meredith is here!’ I’m like, ‘And you know what? She didn’t bite you at all, did she? And if she did bite you, she wouldn’t be poisonous.’ They’re like, ‘That’s not what our dad said.’”
Wyatt Kelce’s Favorite Taylor Swift Song
Long before Swift’s baking phase and feline hangouts, Jason and Kylie’s oldest was already a superfan. At Kelce Jam in May 2024, Travis told Access Hollywood that Wyatt has a clear favorite pick from Swift’s catalog.
When the interviewer rattled off tracks including “The Alchemy,” “Fearless” and “The Man,” Travis lit up at the last one.
“There’s so many. ‘The Man’ is my niece’s favorite, so we can always go with ‘The Man,’” he said, referring to Wyatt.
Swift later invited Wyatt and her sisters Ellie and Bennett to see multiple concerts onThe Eras Tour in 2024.
Meeting the Newest Kelce
Jason and Kylie welcomed their fourth daughter, Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce, in March 2025. Swift subtly congratulated the couple by “liking” Kylie’s Instagram announcement.
Months later, Jason told Entertainment Tonight that Swift met the newborn in person.
“We were fortunate to have them all in. It doesn’t happen often — everybody’s busy — but it was really special,” he told the outlet in May 2025. “Thankfully we have a really tight-knit family that makes time for each other, and it’s been awesome.”
Taylor Swift Sits With Kylie Kelce and Her Girls at Chiefs Game
Kylie brought her kids to Travis’ home football game for the first time in December 2025, where they sat with Swift in a private box.
“The girls had not yet seen Uncle Trav play in Arrowhead Stadium,” Kylie said on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast later that month. “It was also super exciting to get to see friends and family that were there, because the girls were so excited to get to watch a game with all of them. They are not that interested in football, to be quite honest with you. They actually yell at us any time we try to put football on the TV and only get on board after a little while of realizing that they can freely yell.”
She added of her youngest daughter, “Finnie slept for, like, an hour and a half there, so she’s a real one. She actually slept through all the screaming and cheering, which is hilarious to me.”
Flower Girl Duties
Sportscaster Rich Eisen revealed in July 2025 that the four Kelce kiddos had a special task at Swift and Travis’ wedding over the 4th of July weekend at Madison Square Garden.
Per Eisen, Wyatt, Ellie, Bennett and Finn were “sprinkling flower petals all over the place” before the bride and groom walked down the aisle.
“[The wedding was] pretty amazing. … It’s just two people in love who are super famous and a bunch of people really sharing it,” Eisen gushed. “It’s pretty cool.”
