Though she didn’t provide any additional details about the wedding, Donna did have some Fourth of July memories to share. “I remember I used to take the boys [Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce] down to Lake Erie, and we would watch the fireworks in Euclid, Ohio, and we had the best time,” she said

Of course, not everyone has been able to keep their lips sealed. On Friday evening, AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron posted — and later deleted — a very detailed recap of the wedding festivities, assuring everyone that the venue “did not look like Madison Square Garden,” recounting the decorations that included “large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age,” and detailing the “sweep you off your feet kiss” that the couple shared after exchanging vows
Additional details camede and groom wore Dior, their siblings acted as the only members of the bridal party, and actor and comedian Adam Sandler officiated the wedding. Attendees have since confirmed that Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney were among those who took the stage at the reception

Donna has been along for the ride since the very start of Swift and Kelce’s whirlwind romance, which began when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on his New Heightspodcast in July 2023 that he hadtried — and failed — to connect with Swift at one of her Eras Tour concerts. Word eventually reached her and the duo sparked a romance that soon saw her become a staple at Arrowhead Stadium, cheering him on from the stands. Swift often brought her own entourage or appeared alongside Kelce’s own loved ones, including Donna.

“It’s really morphed into something I could’ve never expected,” she told hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie at the time. “It’s really strange. But it’s fun— it’s a great ride. At times, it gets a little annoying, but most of the time, people are just so sweet, so kind, so generous. What mother doesn’t want to hear that their kids are great?”

I’ll talk about my life and when the kids were little and I was with them, but they’re men now, they’ve got their own lives, and there isn’t a man alive that’s going to talk to their mom about their personal life.”
