During his press conference on October 20, Travis Kelce, 34, acknowledged that his relationship with Taylor Swift will likely inspire numerous Halloween costumes. He jokingly advised fans to incorporate his signature mustache and the number 87 jersey into their outfits, as they became iconic for a period of time.
He stated, "I had the mustache when I first met Taylor, so I suppose my 'stache and perhaps a bracelet or some other item?"
The NFL tight end, whose team will face the Chargers on Sunday, October 22, initially showed interest in Swift, 33, by creating a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. He made this gesture before attending her Eras Tour concert at the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium in July. After enjoying the concert, he admitted on his "New Heights" podcast that he was unable to exchange bracelets with the pop star.
Swift and Kelce finally met up and went on two personal outings. Afterward, Kelce invited Swift to watch him perform at Arrowhead Stadium, which she accepted. They sat together in Kelce's private box, accompanied by his mother. This led to Swift attending two more Chiefs games in October. On October 14, they were seen holding hands as they headed to the Saturday Night Live afterparty, where they both made surprise appearances on the season 49 premiere.

During the October 18 episode of his podcast, Travis opened up about his dating experiences, admitting that he often feels a need to be protective as the man in the situation. His self-awareness is always present during these outings.
Travis' older brother, Jason Kelce, and their colleague Brandon playfully teased Travis about the unconventional way he held Swift's hands during their date, finding it a bit strange.
"He is a facilitator, a supportive presence. He exceeded all expectations," exclaimed Brandon, as he sipped from a cup purchased at Swift's Eras Tour movie screenings. "There's a significant amount of footage analyzing Travis Kelce's displays of affection."
While Swift has not made any public statements about her growing relationship, a source revealed to us earlier this month that "she is increasingly falling for him" as they continue to deepen their connection.
According to an insider, Travis goes above and beyond to make Taylor feel truly valued. Taylor was left in awe by the extravagant floral arrangement that Travis unexpectedly sent her. His actions not only provide a sense of security and comfort for Taylor, but also promote her independence and achievements.
