Los Angeles, CA — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce set the internet abuzz when he stepped out in a cozy cardigan during a lunch outing with friends in Los Angeles on Monday. But it wasn’t just any cardigan—it was a Taylor Swift-coded cardigan that sent fans into a frenzy.
Kelce, 34, had just returned from a whirlwind trip to Singapore to catch his girlfriend, superstar performer Taylor Swift, on tour. The couple has been making headlines since they officially kicked off their romance six months ago. Swift, who attended the Chiefs’ Super Bowl run, has also been spotted wearing a jacket with Kelce’s name and number during NFL games1.
The oatmeal-hued open cardigan Kelce sported bore a striking resemblance to the chunky white knit cardigan Swift famously wore in her “Cardigan” music video. Fans, affectionately known as “Swifties,” flooded social media with reactions, completely taken by Kelce’s choice of knitwear. Some wondered if he had swiped the look from his girlfriend’s wardrobe, while others playfully speculated about their relationship status2.
“When I said I am manifesting a pap walk, I meant ‘Tayvis’ being completely in love, not Travis completely taking me out while wearing a f—king cardigan,” tweeted one fan, referencing the couple’s ship name. Another Swiftie suggested that Kelce’s cardigan would have looked even cuter if it had the initials “I TS,” a nod to Swift’s song “Look What You Made Me Do” where dancers wear similar baby tees2.
Kelce, however, didn’t need a cardigan during his brief stint in steamy Sydney, Australia, where he watched Swift perform. Perhaps the pop star will sport the same sweater on their next date, further fueling speculation about their relationship2.
As fans continue to dissect every detail of their romance, one thing is clear: Travis Kelce’s Taylor Swift-coded cardigan has become the latest obsession for both Chiefs fans and Swifties alike.
