Travis Kelce’s New Look Is a Nod to Early Days of Taylor Swift Romance
This fan was enchanted to meet Travis Kelce.
While the athlete has certainly had his share of fame as the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, even he is aware that girlfriend Taylor Swift has given him a whole new set of fans to impress.
And one such fan had quite the reaction as she ran into the 34-year-old at the Chiefs training camp in Kansas City, prompting her to need a moment during their interaction.
In a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, Aug. 4, Travis could be seen approaching a group and jokingly asking, "What are you guys doing in my hallway?"
To which the woman's husband responded, "Dude, dude you just took my wife's breath away. Literally, she just almost died there."
And Travis knew exactly why that was: "Taylor Swift effect, dude."
The "Taylor Swift effect" has been working in more ways than one, with Travis recently paying homage to the first time he met the "So High School" singer with his training camp mustachioed look. It's not lost on him how important that facial hair is to his and Taylor's love story.

"I'll tell you what that 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a bit," Travis explained during a press conference in October 2023. "I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."
Since that fateful meeting last year, the couple has been inseparable, with the NFL tight end recently hopping over to Germany to watch Taylor's Eras Tour performance ahead of reporting to camp.

During the July 17 concert, the 34-year-old seemingly gave her boyfriend a sweet nod, singing a mashup of "Invisible String" and "Superstar"—and fans were overjoyed by the medley.
"The IMPLICATIONS of mashing up Superstar with Invisible String," one user wrote on X. "The superstardom that tied them together for years before they met…the inevitability of their mutual awe for each other….but the ability to see each other clearly through the haze of fame anyway…I am unwell."
But Taylor's not the only one dedicating songs, as Travis recently joined in a charity karaoke contest at the 35th Annual American Century Championship golf tournament in California July 11, where he won after singing Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," adding, "Taylor, this is for you."
For a full look at Taylor and Travis' iconic love story, just say yes and keep reading.
