Jessica Piazza, the mom of 8-year-old Ella, opens up to TODAY about the moment Jason Kelce helped her daughter say hi to Taylor Swift.

 

 

The latest Kansas City Chiefs game was filled with Kelce family moments.

While Taylor Swift once again showed up to support boyfriend Travis Kelce, his brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, were also in attendance during the Kansas City Chiefs matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 21.

After celebrating his brother’s touchdown by taking off his shirt, Jason Kelce was in a cheerful mood and lifted up a young Swift fan to meet the pop star.

Jessica Piazza, the mom of that very girl, 8-year-old Ella, opens up to TODAY about the moment the Philadelphia Eagles center helped her daughter say hi to Swift.

“I had no idea how viral it was until I woke up at 6 a.m. this morning to a thousand texts from friends who saw it first on Barstool Sports and then everywhere!” Piazza, who is a longtime Bills fan, told TODAY Jan. 22.

In video captured of the moment, Jason Kelce holds up Ella as she shows her sign to Swift and says hello.

Piazza, who grew up in Rochester, New York, and works for the Autism Partnership Foundation, told TODAY that this was Ella’s first game. The third grader, she said, isn’t “totally aware yet” of her newfound fame.

“She only knows what we tell her so far! A lot of her friends’ parents have been calling us because Ella’s friends are dying to talk to her,” Piazza said. “So we are going to FaceTime all her friends on the way to the airport.”

Piazza said that the family was actually supposed to go to the game last weekend, but it was postponed and they couldn’t make the new date.

“We had to sell our tickets. It was such a bummer at the time. But then when this other game came up — we knew we had to try and get tickets and we did!” she said.
