Florida Swifties, try not to freak out too much. But Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, lives among us, at least part of the time.

According to the Daytona Beach News Journal, the Kelce family owns a condo in the “tranquil” Baldwin Park neighborhood of Orlando.

Travis, who is dating Taylor Swift (duh!), apparently hangs in the Sunshine State on occasion as well.

A day after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was seen embracing his “lover” at her Buenos Aires show Saturday night, mom was in the Sunshine State.

Mama Kelce was pictured at an area movie theater watching — you guessed it — “The Eras Tour” starring the most famous singer on the planet.

Afterward, a fellow patron, a TikToker by the name of Dannielle Sparks, went to the restroom, where she recognized Kelce, a VIP fixture at many Chiefs games with the pop queen.

Thrilled, the muralist asked to take a photo, she tells her followers in a video, and Kelce humbly obliged, reportedly saying, “I’m just a mom.”

“She’s the sweetest human ever,” gushed Sparks, who told the Miami Herald she opted to keep the theater’s name and location private. “This was one of the greatest moments of my life.”

Kelce later admitted to “Extra’s” Billy Bush she was surprised at being recognized.

“I thought, ‘This’ll be a good bet. ... I’ll go here and nobody’ll know I’m here,’ but, you know, I just wanted to see what the whole concert looked like ‘cause I have not been.”
