Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has always been known for his confident sense of style.
However, a recent revelation by teammate Patrick Mahomes suggests that Kelce’s girlfriend, pop icon Taylor Swift, might have influenced a significant change in his appearance.
Kelce, who began dating Swift last year, has recently been spotted sporting longer hair and a mustache, a departure from his usual look.
The relationship was confirmed when Swift made a high-profile appearance at a Chiefs game last September, cheering from Kelce’s suite alongside his mother, Donna Kelce.
Mahomes Reveals Kelce’s New Look
As the Chiefs prepare for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl victory, Mahomes dropped a surprising tidbit during an interview with NFL Radio. Discussing the team, Mahomes said, “You got the old man Kelce. I’ve been trying to get him to grow his hair out, and all of a sudden, Taylor gets him to do it.”
Kelce’s new look, featuring slightly longer locks and a mustache, has not gone unnoticed by fans. Swifties quickly picked up on Mahomes’ comment, taking to social media to share their reactions. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) quipped, “I too would do anything Taylor asked.” Another chimed in, “Pat is so random—that had nothing to do with what they were talking about, but he is giving the people what they want.”
The Road Ahead for the Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs are set to kick off their new season on September 5th with a highly anticipated opening game against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium. No team in NFL history has ever achieved a three-peat, making this season a crucial one for Mahomes, Kelce, and the rest of the Chiefs.
Reflecting on the team’s mindset, Mahomes shared, “It wasn’t like we have talked about it openly, but after the Super Bowl this year in Vegas, you saw that we were saying that we have got to go and do it. But since we’ve gotten back, it’s just football. We know what the process is—the day-by-day process of just getting better.”
As the Chiefs gear up for another intense season, Mahomes noted the team’s determination, particularly during their challenging practice camp in St. Joseph. “This is the hardest week for us, coming back after that first preseason game. You saw guys feisty out there today—guys want to be great, and I think that’s the best thing about it,” Mahomes said.
In fact, Mahomes was even caught on camera playing peacemaker, stepping in to break up a minor scuffle between teammates during practice. Despite the intensity, Mahomes took a light-hearted jab at Kelce, referring to him as “the old man,” given that the tight end, at 34, is one of the older players on the team.
A New Chapter for Kelce
This off-season, Kelce signed a new two-year contract with the Chiefs, reportedly worth around $17 million per year, ensuring that he will remain with Kansas City for what is likely to be the remainder of his career.
With a fresh look and the support of his superstar girlfriend, Kelce is set to continue making waves both on and off the field. As the Chiefs aim for NFL history, fans will be watching closely to see how this new chapter unfolds for one of the league’s most beloved players.
