Travis Kelce is flashing back to when he first met Taylor Swift . It wasn’t a buzz cut or his hair bleached, but the Kansas City Chiefs tight end recently rocked a mustache for the NFL team’s training camp on July 21—the same look he had when he first met the “Fortnight” singer last summer. In a video shared by the NFL team to X, formerly Twitter, Travis paired his iconic facial hair with red athletic shorts, his 87 jersey, Nike Jordan 1 football cleats, and a fresh fade.
As the Chiefs joked in the caption, “The return of El Travador.” And Travis—who is known to switch up his look from time to time and has previously referred to himself with a mustache as “El Travador”—has shared his training camp look was what he had been rocking the day he met Taylor. “I’ll tell you what that ‘stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a bit,” Travis explained during a press conference in October 2023 .
“I had it when I met Taylor for the first time.” Of course, the mustache is nothing new. Travis has used the facial hair look to signal the beginning of a new NFL season since 2021.
In fact, it became a tradition for the Chiefs player and his teammates, as an homage to head coach Andy Reid . “It's all having fun at camp, man,” Travis explained during an episode of Training Camp Live in 2023. “Shout out to Andy Reid, baby: It's 'stache time, baby.
The power of the 'stache.” But don’t expect the mustache to stay, stay, stay a while. Althoug.
