Travis Kelce turned 36 on Sunday, and his mother, Donna Kelce, marked the occasion in a special way. Donna chose to share a childhood picture of Travis with his elder brother, Jason, as the first slide in her Instagram post. Alongside the photo, she added a simple three-word caption: “Happy birthday, Travis.”

An interesting detail about Donna’s Instagram story was her choice of music. She selected the song “Opalite,” which is Travis Kelce’s favorite track from Taylor Swift’s latest album, *The Life Of A Showgirl*. The song was inspired by the Chiefs tight end himself, according to Swift.

On Friday, the “Capital Breakfast” radio show aired an interview with Taylor Swift, where she revealed the backstory behind “Opalite.” The “Blank Space” singer explained that opalite is Kelce’s birthstone, and she loved the concept of it being man-made.

“And so Travis’s birthstone is an opal,” Swift said [Timestamp 6:43]. “So it’s like that. I’ve always fixated on that. I’ve always loved that stone, and I thought it was a kind of cool metaphor that like it’s a man-made opal and happiness can also be man-made too. So that’s kind of what the song is about, is that kind of juxtaposition of those two.”

“That is true,” Jason Kelce confirmed. “She has said that. She has made that comment. She’s put some pressure on him.”
