Martha Stewart plays by her own rules.
The lifestyle guru, 82, decided to bring up Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift during an interview with his mom, Donna Kelce — despite being asked to refrain from discussing the pop star.
“I know I was begged not to mention Taylor Swift, but I just want to say, you always look so great with her in the box when she was at the games with you,” Stewart said on Thursday’s episode of her eponymous podcast celebrating Mother’s Day.

Stewart explained that she has met the “Anti-Hero” singer and found her to be “lovely.”
“So good luck with that because that is some situation,” Stewart added.

“So good luck with that because that is some situation,” Stewart said.
“Well, you know, you never know,” Donna said. “Time will tell, but I know that they’re both friendly. They’re both generous.”
Donna continued, “They’re both loving. They’re both caring individuals,” before Stewart added, “And they’re both adults!”
Mama Kelce often plays coy about her relationship with the Grammy-winning artist, though they seem quite close considering they spent lots of time together and even wore matching jewelry to the 2024 Super Bowl.

Steward praised Donna’s parenting prowess and called her the “mother of the year.”
“You should be so proud of yourself, not just for giving birth to two amazing boys, but you have maintained a really lovely demeanor during this entire time,” Stewart said, referencing Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce.

“You are the all-American mom. So enjoy it because we all think you’re great, actually,” he added.
Donna also spilled on the special presents her NFL player sons have gifted her on Mother’s Day over the years including jewelry and lavish vacations to Europe.
“They are not selfish, they are not greedy, they are very giving children and I’m very grateful,” Donna said.

Travis and Swift have been dating since July 2023 and took their love public last September.
A source exclusively told Page Six in January that the Kansas City Chiefs star is planning on proposing to the singer around their first anniversary.
