Travis Kelce is officially back at work — and he’s sporting a very familiar look!
On Sunday, No. 87 had his first official day at Kansas City Chiefs training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. Kelce, 34, arrived at the training facility with other veteran members of the team, including his best friend, Patrick Mahomes.
“KILLA STACHE IS BACK 👨🏻,” the team’s official X account (formally known as Twitter) tweeted alongside a photo of the tight end in his full practice gear.
In another post, the team shared a video of Kelce walking into the facility with the team and showing off his freshly shaved mustache.
“The return of El Travador,” it said.
Kelce’s mustache looks different than the one he’s sported since the NFL season ended in February, and while he’s been supporting his girlfriend, Taylor Swiftduring the Eras Tour this summer. The Super Bowl champion has been sporting a full beard and his trademark fade haircut.
The tight end’s return comes after he made his 13th appearance on the Eras Tour in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, last week. Kelce was in attendance and kept a low profile as he watched Swift take the stage. Swift acknowledged her man’s continued support by calling him “the guy from the Chiefs” while performing her hit, “Karma.” She initially debuted the letter change in November. Swift has made the sweet move at every show Kelce has been in the audience at.
The pair — who celebrated 1 year of relationship this month — showed some PDA as they left the venue. Last season, Swift, 34, showed her support for Kelce by attending several games, after making its debut inside the Arrowhead Stadium suites in September.The love story” The singer was also present when Kelce and the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Last week, Kelce’s trainer Andy Reid expressed his support for Swift and Kelce’s relationship during an appearance on The Athletic‘s Spoon City podcast.
“I think it’s great for him. He can handle it. In fact, I think he probably loves it to some extent,” Reid, 66, said of how the NFL star deals with fame. “I think it’s a great escape for him.”
He added: “I said that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can escape having to be O show. When he goes to her shows, she’s the star,” he continued, before quipping, “He can be there and be the support or the water boy, so he can do that.”
In May, a source told ET that people close to the couple know that the romance will be long-lasting.
“Taylor and Travis are doing great, and their loved ones see an engagement coming sooner rather than later,” the source said in May. “They make a great couple and there’s no doubt about it.”
Kelce and the Chiefs play their first preseason game on August 10, when they face the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their first official game of the season will be on September 5, when they face the Baltimore Ravens. As for Swift, she will be on the road internationally for the Eras Tour until December, when it closes in Vancouver, Canada.
