Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce expressed his flattery as numerous Halloween revelers chose to dress up as him and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, this spooky season.
On a recent episode of his podcast, New Heights, co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis delighted in the surge of costumes inspired by their relationship, deeming it a "Kelce Halloween" this year. He appreciated the support from their fans and shared their reactions to some of the best fan-submitted Halloween costumes.
However, one specific couple's costume gained considerable attention, leading to animated responses from both Kelce brothers.
A TikTok video posted by user @jaxwritessongs showcased a man dressed as Taylor Swift, accompanied by a woman donning an oversized map. The man fully committed to emulating the pop star, donning a blond wig, red lipstick, and a silver sequined bodysuit adorned with fringe.
You can see the video below.
@jaxwritessongs he needs to calm down… 😂😘💋🗺️ 🎤 #taylorswift #traviskelce #halloween #costume
This couple's costume appeared to be a playful reference to a joke Travis made in the past about Swift putting him "on the map" after they began dating. Additionally, it could be a nod to a TikTok trend where Swift fans humorously teased football enthusiasts by suggesting that Swift—perhaps the most recognizable woman on the planet—rescued Travis Kelce from obscurity.
It was clear Travis couldn't control his laughter:
“Oh my f**king goodness...She put me on the map…She put me on the map, right there.”
People loved Kelce's reaction.
Swift and Kelce's relationship gained further attention in September when Swift showed her support for Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs' 41-10 victory over the Chicago Bears. Swift was seen cheering from Kelce's suite at Arrowhead Stadium, alongside Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce.
Although the two have been coy with reporters and have not actually confirmed they're dating, their relationship has captivated social media and attracted considerable news coverage, including from detractors like far-right commentator Candace Owens, who suggested Swift does not have a genuine interest in football and implied that her recent involvement in the sport is insincere.
Though they've kept mum, photographers with The Independent recently captured shots of the two kissing publicly.
