Donna Kelce’s game-day hat is never going out of style.

Travis Kelce’s mom wore a custom cap honoring both her son and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, when the Kansas City Chiefs played the Baltimore Ravens for the season opener earlier this month.

Not only does the black hat feature the athlete’s number, 87, and the team’s logo, but it is embroidered with holly sprigs and white cosmos.

The cap was hand-embroidered by a Swiftie and includes not only Kelce’s jersey number but also his and Swift’s respective birth flowers. staten.stitch/Instagram

The flowers, notably, are linked to Travis and Swift’s respective October and December birth months.

When the hat’s designer, Alexa Pearlmutter, showed off her process via TikTok on Sept. 7, a social media user asked about the birth month connection.

Pearlmutter simply replied with a winking emoji.

Another of her followers pointed out that the hat “touched Taylor” since the pop star and Donna watched the Sept. 5 game from the same Arrowhead Stadium suite — and the two embraced after the tight end pointed at his girlfriend after making a big catch.

“truly insane,” Pearlmutter wrote. “I hope she told Donna it was cute.”

The “honored” artist went on to give insight into her creative process, writing, “My general idea was to incorporate matching florals to pair with the red/white asymmetrical logo and work @Travis Kelces #87 into the design.”

When asked how Donna came to wear her work, Pearlmutter credited “the power of TikTok.”

While the exact cap isn’t available to purchase, Pearlmutter does have an Etsy shop called StatenStitch where Tayvis fans can get their hands on similar styles, including a “New Heights” podcast hat with florals seen on Swift’s Eras Tour piano ($242) and a red beanie with the number “87” embroidered and surrounded by similar flowers ($100).

That same week, Swift made headlines for her game-day attire: a Versace corset, denim shorts and a black Louis Vuitton purse.

The Grammy winner, 34, completed her look with thigh-high maroon boots.

She sported the same over-the-knee boots in black the following week when the Chiefs played the Cincinnati Bengals, as well as an oversized vintage T-shirt dress.

Brittany Mahomes pulled a page from her book on this Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, with the pregnant star pairing red cowboy boots with a bedazzled tee.

Swift, notably, did not attend the matchup over the weekend — and Travis has since gone viral for looking downcast on the sidelines amid her absence.
