Travis Kelce Customizes His Jersey with a Nickname Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Courtship


Travis Kelce autographed a unique “Swelce” jersey that was to be auctioned off by the Kansas City Chiefs.

The “Swelce” tee is a nod to the NFL star’s ongoing relationship with Taylor Swift.

The red and white personalized Chiefs jersey was for sale on Chiefs bid, an NFL-run online auction platform where fans may bid on goods autographed or worn by players.

The personalized shirt cost more than $500 to a lucky fan.

Kelce and the “Blank Space” singer’s relationship has swept Swifties and the NFL by storm when they first confirmed it three months ago.

Swift made her Arrowhead Stadium debut on September 24, beside Donna Kelce, Kelce’s mother, in the stands.

Fans wondered if this was Swift and the NFL player’s first date, but the Love Song singer later revealed in an interview with Time Magazine that the two had been dating quietly for some time.

Swift, 34, and Travis, 34, “started hanging out right after” the athlete called her out on his New Heights podcast in July, according to the athlete.

He was recounting how, while attending one of Swift’s gigs in Missouri, he attempted — and failed — to offer Swift his phone number via a friendship bracelet.

“So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she said.
