Travis Kelce has three Super Bowl rings, but it's another accessory that's getting his fans excited.

Last July, the Kansas City Chiefs star, 34, handed out friendship bracelets to fellow NFL players at his Tight End University as a nod to Taylor Swift. A few weeks later, he expressed his interest in the pop superstar on his podcast New Heights.

On July 26, during an episode of his podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis joked about his attempt to give Swift his phone number before one of her Eras Tour concerts on July 8.

Travis admitted, "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her." 

“She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal.”
he added.

"Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy," Travis later said on his podcast as he talked to his brother about how he felt having the singer in his suite during the "exciting game."

"I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her — the friends and family. She looked amazing and everybody was talking about her in great light," he said.

A week later, the team had some fun with the rumored relationship by posting a TikTok video of Chiefs players exchanging friendship bracelets.

When Kelce received one that said "Killa Trav," he smiled and acknowledged, "I know what these are all about."
