Swifties noticed Travis Kelce’s nod to Taylor Swift while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end sat at his brother Jason Kelce’s retirement press conference on Monday.

The event was an emotional one for the Kelce family, with both brothers shedding tears as Jason announced he was walking away from football.

There was a lot to glean from the presser, but eagle-eyed fans noticed the Chiefs star was wearing friendship bracelets while others observed that his clothes matched the color scheme of her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

You can see some of the reactions below:


Friendship bracelets are huge in the Swift world. They’re typically exchanged at her shows, and Travis famously revealed having tried to get one to her with his number at one of her concerts before they hooked up.

They might have never been together had he not made mention of his failed friendship bracelet ploy.

Meanwhile, Swift is in Singapore on her Eras Tour. Travis traveled to Australia to support her there after winning the Super Bowl before flying back to party with Patrick Mahomes in Las Vegas.
