Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce turned heads at practice this weekend with a brand new look. Known for his usual full beard,
Kelce decided to mix things up ahead of training camp, debuting what has been dubbed the “killa stache.”
The Chiefs shared a photo of their star tight end sporting his new moustache on Sunday morning, sparking immediate reactions from fans and teammates alike.
Speculations abound about whether Taylor Swift, with whom Kelce has spent a significant part of his offseason attending her concerts, approves of his new look. The 34-year-old Kelce, along with his older brother Jason, recently announced a hiatus for their popular “New Heights” podcast, signaling a shift in focus as he returns to prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
Kelce and the Chiefs are on a historic quest to become the first team to achieve a Super Bowl three-peat. Last season’s dramatic overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers marked Kansas City as the first team to win back-to-back championships since the 2003 and 2004 New England Patriots. Despite missing two games last season, Kelce recorded 93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns. His postseason performance was equally impressive, with 32 receptions for 355 yards and three touchdowns, surpassing Jerry Rice’s all-time postseason receptions record with 165 catches.
The Chiefs are set to host the Baltimore Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, in the NFL Kickoff Game on September 5. Expectations are high for the Chiefs’ offense, which, despite struggling throughout the 2023 regular season and not playing up to their usual standards in the postseason, still managed to secure the Super Bowl title. With the addition of newcomers Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown and rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy, Kansas City’s first-round pick, the offense is poised to re-establish itself as one of the league’s best in 2024.
As Travis Kelce gears up for what promises to be another exciting season, his new moustache is sure to be a talking point among fans and analysts alike. Whether it brings him and the Chiefs good luck remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: all eyes will be on them as they aim for yet another Super Bowl victory.
