Travis Kelce wears Taylor Swift-inspired bracelets at brother Jason’s retirement press conference
Travis Kelce is a true Swiftie.
The hunky NFL star, 34, wore several Taylor-Swift inspired friendship bracelets to brother Jason Kelce’s retirement press conference on Monday — including one with a sweet nod to his leading lady. Eagle-eyed fans on Twitter were quick to point out that Travis appeared to be keeping his love close by wearing a bracelet that spelled out “T ❤️ T” during the emotional event.
The sentimental piece was made up of small brown, black and gold beads — a stark contrast to the $6,000 “TNT” diamond friendship bracelet he bought Swift last year. Although the Kansas City Chiefs star wore two other bracelets, it’s unclear what they spelled out. However, one of the inscriptions seemingly started with “Travis Kelce is a…”
The tight end put the bracelets on full display when he went to wipe his eyes with a tissue during Jason’s lengthy speech. Travis, who wore a color-blocked button-down, was seated in the front row alongside his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, as well as his sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce.
Both the Kelce brothers were overcome with emotion throughout the announcement, with Travis trying to conceal his tears with a pair of dark sunglasses.
Jason, for his part, started sobbing the second he sat down at the podium. The longtime Philadelphia Eagles center reflected on his championship-winning career, his love for Philadelphia and the impact Travis had on his career during the tear-jerking address. “It was really my brother and I our whole lives,” Jason said. “We did almost everything together — competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other.”
