Donna Kelce, like the rest of the world, is a huge fan of Taylor Swift’s new album, The TσɾtuɾеԀ Poets Department.
Donna tells PEOPLE during QVC’s first Age of Possibility summit in Las Vegas, “I listened to the whole album, and I listened to it all morning long when it was released.”
“I was just really impressed. She is a really creative woman, and I believe it is her best work,” Donna says of the new album, in which Swift, 34, appears to reference her romance with Travis Kelce on several tunes.
And when asked if she had any advice for Swift about getting older, Donna declined. “She does not need my advise on anything. In fact, I’m hoping she’ll give me advise.
Celebrities including Martha Stewart, Queen Latifah, and Naomi Watts attended the inaugural QVC summit, which brought together inspirational women for an intimate day of engaging conversation, creative inspiration, and cultural realities.
“This event is about the empowerment of women,” she explains. “A lot of women believe that if they work hard and accomplish everything, they will get promoted. They don’t comprehend they need to ask for what they desire. You have to admit that I want that job. They may believe she has two children, is too busy, or is incapable of doing this. It is critical to ask for what you want.

Donna also tells PEOPLE that she found out Bradley Cooper and his mother, Gloria, would be attending the QVC event after Travis, 34, texted her a photo of himself and Swift on a double date on the beach in Carmel, Calif., with Cooper, 49, and Gigi Hadid.
A source close to Travis told PEOPLE on Wednesday, April 24, that he listened to Swift’s new album before it was released on April 19.
“He is always in awe of her,” a source revealed of Travis’ reaction to his girlfriend’s most recent release.

Swift’s new album’s lyrics appear to nod to her connection with Travis, with the strongest nods to the NFL star coming from the tracks “The Alchemy” and “So High School.”
The singer’s lyrics in “The Alchemy” contain various football references. “So when I touch down, call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown,” Swift says in her song.
“Shirts off, and your friends lift you up, over their heads / Beer stickin’ to the floor, cheers chanted ’cause they said / ‘There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league.’ Where’s the trophy?” “He just comes, running over to me,” Swift sings, likely referring to Travis’ reunion with her on the field following his great Super Bowl victory.

In “So High School,” the Grammy-winner sings about how a newfound love seems “so high school” and appears to reference a previous interview Travis did in which he was asked who he would marry, kiss, and kill among her, Ariana Grande, and Katy Perry. At the moment of the interview, the Chiefs tight end chose his future girlfriend to kiss.
“Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me (Kill me) / It’s just a game, but really (Really) / I’m bettin’ on all three for us two (All three),” Swift sings in the chorus of the song.

Donna acknowledged to PEOPLE in November that she has seen Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour performance film. “I saw it, and I liked it. “It was amazing,” she said, adding that she was “just completely enthralled” by the “extremely, extremely talented” singer.
When asked if seeing the Eras Tour in concert was on her bucket list, she said, “Hopefully in the future.” Sure, you never know!”
Donna has yet to see Swift’s live act. However, with the tour’s next dates beginning in May, Donna may soon be trading friendship bracelets with Swifties.
