“I won’t say too much other than it was magic, man, magic.” That’s all the update Donna Kelce gave about the July 3 wedding, her first word in public since her son married Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden.

Then, without being asked, he drifted somewhere old: “I remember I used to take the boys down to Lake Erie and we’d go see the fireworks in Euclid, Ohio, and we had the best time.”

Donna Kelce is the mother of Travis Kelce, and on the night of July 4th she went out with Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks at Pier 17 in New York, one day after watching her son marry Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden.

This wedding was one of the most watched celebrities this year. Visitors sign NDAs. Details remain closed. So when someone asked the groom’s mother how it was going, it was the closest anyone had ever gotten to an inside account.

He gave them “magic,” he said twice, and let a childhood memory carry the rest.

Back during the edit, Donna joked that she didn’t even need to sign an NDA, because “They know I can keep a secret.”
