Taylor Swift fans freak out over Travis Kelce’s ‘glow up’ from Chiefs ‘archives’ photo: Aging ‘like fine wine’
Taylor Swift fans can’t calm down after seeing a throwback photo from Travis Kelce’s first year on the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Missouri-based NFL team “went back into the archives” for a Thursday Instagram upload showing side-by-side pictures of players now versus when they first started playing.
While the upload included photos of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Noah Gray and more athletes, Kelce led the slides.
He stared at the camera with a straight face in the 2013 shot, rocking the same facial hair but noticeably more up top.
He was all smiles in the second, more recent snap — and Swifties praised his “glow up” in the comments section.
“See? The older Travis gets the better he gets,” one gushed, while another wrote that he “aged like fine wine.”
A third added, “Travy got daddy 🥵.”
One Swiftie referenced the pop star’s recent song about the NFL star from her “Tortured Poets Department” album, commenting, “Siri, play so high school.”
Other Instagram users focused on the teammates as a whole, noting that they had seemingly all “slimmed down” and become “happier” as time went on.
The “Catching Kelce” alum began his professional football career at age 24 when he was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round out of the University of Cincinnati.
In his 11 seasons, Kelce has won three Super Bowls in 2020, 2023 and 2024.
When the Chiefs celebrated their most recent success with a ring ceremony earlier this month, Swift tuned into the event’s livestream.
“JOINING THE PARTY FROM LIVERPOOL LET’S GOOOOOOOO,” the pop star commented. “YESSSSSSS 😍😍😍.”
Kelce gave her a subtle shout out on his “New Heights” podcast the following week, saying, “It was a f—king unbelievable night, and the ceremony was broadcast live everywhere across the globe. If you haven’t caught wind of who all was watching.”
He and the Grammy winner have been dating since July 2023, regularly supporting each other at NFL games and Eras Tour shows.
Since their love story began, Kelce has made headlines for his style, from his fashionable ‘fits to his frequent haircuts.
His barber and “close friend,” Patrick Regan, told the Post in February that the former reality star gets a fresh cut every week.
Regan revealed that he uses No. 3 clippers on top for the look, which multiple barbers told the New York Times they get asked to replicate on the regular.
Kelce considers his style “fun,” telling ABC News viewers earlier this month that he likes to “be a little bit more outspoken” with his fashion choices.
He jokingly compared himself to brother Jason Kelce, whom he likened to a “Neanderthal.”
Travis said, “[He] wears flip flops in the winter and doesn’t really care what he looks like. … If you looked at us on two different teams you really didn’t even think that we were brothers.”
