Travis Kelce turned 36 on Sunday, and his mother, Donna Kelce, marked the special occasion in a heartfelt way. Donna chose to feature a childhood photo of Travis with his elder brother, Jason, as the first slide of her Instagram post. Alongside the image, she added a simple three-word caption: “Happy birthday, Travis.”
An interesting detail about Donna’s Instagram story was her choice of music. She selected the song “Opalite,” which happens to be Travis Kelce’s favorite track from Taylor Swift’s latest album, *The Life Of A Showgirl*. Notably, the song was inspired by the Chiefs tight end himself, according to Swift.
On Friday, the “Capital Breakfast” radio show released an interview with Taylor Swift, where she shared how “Opalite” came to be. The “Blank Space” singer revealed that opalite is Travis Kelce’s birthstone, and she was fascinated by the fact that this birthstone is man-made.
“And so Travis’s birthstone is an opal,” Swift said [Timestamp 6:43]. “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 — that juxtaposition of the two.”
### Jason Kelce Comments on Donna’s Pressure on Travis

In episode 155 of the *New Heights* podcast, Travis revealed that his mom Donna “has Jason no. 1 because he has kids.”
Jason Kelce confirmed this, saying, “That is true. She has said that. She has made that comment. She’s put some pressure on him.”
