Travis Kelce was seen wiping away tears during his brother Jason’s retirement ceremony from the NFL and the Chiefs tight end was wearing a bracelet in honour of his girlfriend Taylor Swift
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce continued to show his love for Taylor Swift despite being thousands of miles apart, in the form of a bracelet.
Kelce proudly unveiled the bracelet at his brother Jason’s official NFL retirement event, after he spent 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The bracelet was made more visible when Kelce, in an all-black outfit, wiped away tears while his brother addressed the crowd. Travis sat near his mum, Donna, donning three custom bracelets, one of which spelled out his Super Bowl champion surname.
But the piece that drew extra attention was the bracelet with the initials of Swift and a heart, signifying his relationship with the ‘Eras Tour’ singer. A closer examination showed the bracelet spelling “T&T.”
Swift’s fans, widely referred to as Swifties, wasted no time reacting to the sighting and noted that, while Kelce showing support for his girlfriend was sweet, he didn’t sport a matching set like the one the singer has.

The observant admirers deduced that the colour scheme of his shirt matched the hues of Taylor’s latest album cover, further showing his indirect endorsement for her. A follower mentioned: “I love how he is wearing the bead TandT bracelet and not the gold one he has that matches Taylor’s.”
Another added their thoughts on the photos, saying: “I know he wishes Taylor was there with him.” Swift is currently on a world tour and recently performed at Singapore’s national stadium, which can hold up to 55,000 fans. She has five shows in Singapore from March 3 to March 9. After that, she’ll take a break until May 9, when she’ll perform at the Paris La Defense Arena in France, with Paramore as her support act.
Even though she wasn’t at the retirement ceremony, Swifties still found ways to connect the event to their favourite singer. During his speech, Jason said: “If you go above and beyond in this city, you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams.” Fans of Swift took this as a nod to her song, “Wildest Dreams,” from her 1989 album.
Swift first met Jason when he jumped into the crowd without a shirt during the Chiefs-Bills playoff game this season. Jason confessed that his wife, Kylie, told him to behave himself when meeting the pop star.
“She was already telling me to be on my best behaviour ’cause we were meeting Taylor, so she’s like, ‘Do not. Be on your best behaviour.’ I was like ‘Kylie, the first day I met you I was blackout drunk and fell asleep at the bar,” Jason said. “This is part of the charm. This is part of the Jason Kelce charm. I wanna make my best first impression,” he added.
