KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Kansas City Chiefs’ star Travis Kelce, known for his on-field prowess and unique sense of style, has reportedly undergone a transformation that has had fans buzzing.

According to teammate and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Taylor Swift, Kelce's ladylove, has played a pivotal role in his changed appearance, as reported by Daily Mail.

Last year, Kelce and Swift's relationship became public when the pop superstar was spotted in his suite during a Chiefs game, sitting alongside his mother, Donna Kelce.

Patrick Mahomes claims Taylor Swift is behind Travis Kelce's style transformation

As the team prepares for their upcoming NFL season, fans and teammates have noticed a distinct change in Travis Kelce’s appearance, hinting at Taylor Swift’s possible influence.



 

Mahomes, during a candid conversation on NFL Radio, shed light on the subtle yet noticeable transformation in his teammate's style.

"You got the old man (Kelce). I've been trying to get him to grow his hair out and all of a sudden, Taylor gets him to do it," Mahomes said, acknowledging Swift’s persuasive sway.

Kelce’s longer locks and new moustache were the talk of the Chiefs camp, with many attributing these changes to his relationship with Swift.

As the Chiefs gear up for their opening game against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5 at Arrowhead Stadium, the buzz around Kelce’s appearance lightens the mood in the camp amid their serious preparation for the season.

The Chiefs are eyeing a historic third consecutive Super Bowl victory, a feat no team has ever achieved in NFL history.

Reflecting on the team’s ambitions, Mahomes commented, "It wasn't like we have talked about it openly but after the Super Bowl (this year in Vegas) you saw that we were saying that we have got to go and do it."

He emphasized the team's focus on the rigorous process of daily improvement, especially during their toughest week back at St Joseph for practice after their first pre-season game. Mahomes himself was caught on camera maintaining peace in the team, stepping in to break up a minor scuffle between players.

His reference to Kelce as "the old man" was a lighthearted nod to the tight end's veteran status at 34. With a fresh two-year, $17 million-a-year contract under his belt, Kelce is set to remain a Chief, potentially for the rest of his career.
