Travis Kelce proves he's always up for a friendly exchange of friendship bracelets. In a recent TikTok shared by ESPN, the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end was seen accepting a bracelet from a fan at the 2024 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.

This isn't surprising, as Kelce has a history with friendship bracelet culture. His playful interaction with Taylor Swift's fans sparked their relationship in the summer of 2023. The whole thing began when Kelce expressed disappointment that he couldn't give Swift a bracelet with his number on it during her Eras Tour.
Swift and Kelce's romance blossomed and by September 2023, the singer was seen cheering on Kelce at NFL games. She avidly supported him throughout the 2023-2024 season, even attending Super Bowl LVIII where the Chiefs took home the championship.
In a December 2023 interview with TIME magazine, Swift revealed, "This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell."
