TikTok artist @Lexidoodlz revealed that she was feeling “all the emotions” as she created a custom hat for Travis Kelce‘s mother, Donna Kelce, to wear to her son’s game.
The hat, which quickly went viral, featured Kelce’s jersey number, 87, in an obvious tribute to the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end. But there was a more subtle nod to Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift in the design. The flowers featured on the cap, cosmos and holly flowers, represent the birth months of Kelce and Swift, respectively.

The “So High School” singer, 34, was born December 13, 1989, making her birth flower holly, while Kelce’s October 5, 1989 birthdate marks him as a cosmos in the floral calendar.
Lexi unveiled the creation of the hat on TikTok in a sped-up video set to Swift’s song, “The Alchemy,” which many fans believe is about her relationship with Kelce. In the caption, she wrote: “All the emotions these past two days. ❤️🙌🏼🫶🥹 So honored to have made this! My general idea was to incorporate matching florals to pair with the red/white asymmetical [sic] logo and work @Travis Kelces #87 into the design. @Chiefs #fyp #chiefskingdom #donnakelce #mamakelce #gochiefs“
Commenters were quick to comment on the Taylor Swift connection. “Travis and Taylor’s birth flowers???” asked one fan, to which the designer replied with a winking emoji. “Your hat touched Taylor,” observed one fan — Swift and Mrs. Kelce shared a hug while she was wearing the hat — causing Lexi to respond with disbelief. “truly insane. I’m just like… I hope she told Donna it was cute 😂”
When asked for a “story time” video explaining how she ended up making a hat for Donna, the artist played a bit coy. “The power of TikTok!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰 I’m not too good in videos where I speak 🫣 but maybe one day”
