Donna Kelce is officially in the Big Apple as her son, Travis Kelce, is expected to tie the knot with fiancée Taylor Swift on July 3. The mother of the groom arrived hours before the couple’s rumored rehearsal dinner, a new report reveals.
People confirmed that Donna, 73, touched down in New York City on July 2. According to the Associated Press, Travis and Swift’s “pre-party celebration” has a guest list of about 100 people, with Page Six suggesting that the event will be held at the Infosys Theater, which is located on the grounds of Madison Square Garden. The 5,600-seat venue was chosen as “a secure location” to avoid “any attention from paparazzi,” the same outlet claimed.

Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs player are expected to return to MSG for their wedding on July 3, with the venue’s main arena reportedly booked for the ceremony.
Speaking with TMZ back in February, Donna discussed the possibility of a “mother-son dance” at Travis’s wedding. “Oh, I’m sure it’ll be interesting, I’m sure,” she said.

As for whether she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement for the ceremony, Donna said, “Oh, no, no, they know I can keep a secret!”
Other guests, however, were seemingly expected sign NDAs. Per TMZ, the couple sent them out electronically, but the publication said that there is no stated penalty, financial or otherwise, for violation of the agreement. The contract also didn’t include details about a film release, which would be likely if the wedding reception was being filmed for public release.
