Travis Kelce Sends Heartfelt Condolences to Taylor Swift After Aunt Alison Finley’s Tragic Death in Texas Hill Country Floods
In a somber moment for pop superstar Taylor Swift, her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has publicly expressed his condolences following the tragic death of Swift’s aunt, Alison Finley, in the devastating Texas Hill Country flooding disaster. The floods, which ravaged parts of Texas on July 4, 2025, claimed numerous lives, including Finley’s, leaving Swift and her family in mourning.

Kelce, known for his supportive presence in Swift’s life, took to social media to share a heartfelt message. In a rare and emotional post, he wrote, “My heart is with you, Tay, and your entire family. Alison was a light, and I’m so sorry for this loss. Here for you always.” The message, posted on Instagram, quickly garnered attention from fans, who praised Kelce for his compassion during Swift’s time of grief. One fan commented, “This is why we love Travis—he’s there for Taylor through everything,” while another added, “Such a beautiful message. Sending love to Taylor and her family.”
The Texas Hill Country floods have been described as one of the region’s worst natural disasters in recent memory, with at least 82 confirmed deaths and dozens still missing, according to reports. Among the affected areas was Camp Mystic, a summer camp along the river’s banks, where several lives were lost. While Swift and Kelce’s properties in Dallas were unaffected, the tragedy hit close to home for the couple, as Finley was a beloved family member.
Swift, who has been spending a quieter summer with Kelce following the conclusion of her record-breaking Eras Tour in December 2024, has not yet made a public statement about her aunt’s passing. Sources close to the couple say Swift is leaning on Kelce for support during this difficult time. “Travis has been her rock,” an insider shared. “He’s been by her side, giving her the space to grieve while also being there for anything she needs.”
The couple, who began dating in 2023, have been inseparable in recent months, spotted at various low-key outings, including a lunch date in Ohio and a family wedding in Tennessee. Their relationship has been a source of joy for fans, who have followed their romance from Swift cheering at Chiefs games to Kelce supporting her at Eras Tour concerts. This latest gesture of support from Kelce underscores the strength of their bond, as he stands by Swift during one of her most challenging personal moments.
As Swift mourns the loss of her aunt, fans have flooded social media with messages of condolence, using hashtags like #TaylorStrong and #RIPAlisonFinley to express their support. One Swiftie wrote on X, “Taylor, we’re all here for you. Alison sounds like she was an incredible woman. Sending so much love.” Another posted, “Travis’s message was so sweet. It’s clear he’s there for Taylor no matter what.”
The Texas floods have prompted widespread relief efforts, with the White House announcing aid packages including grants for temporary housing and low-cost loans for recovery. President Biden is expected to visit the affected areas later this week. For now, Swift and her family are focusing on honoring Finley’s memory, with Kelce’s unwavering support providing a pillar of strength.
As the music world and NFL community rally around the couple, Kelce’s heartfelt words serve as a reminder of the personal side of fame, where love and loss transcend the spotlight. Fans continue to send their thoughts and prayers to Swift, her family, and all those affected by the tragic Texas floods.
