Travis Kelce is embracing a fresh look.
The Chiefs shared a photo from Sunday’s training camp, revealing that the four-time first-team All-Pro tight end has reverted to his iconic buzz cut, moving away from the longer style he sported recently.
This season marks Kelce’s 13th in the NFL, and while he has had some off years, he played a significant role in the Chiefs’ victory at the Super Bowl in 2024.
At 35, Kelce has become a household name, especially with his relationship with Taylor Swift making headlines. Reactions to his bold new haircut have been lively on social media, particularly following its reveal in Kansas City.
One user commented on Instagram, expressing nostalgia for the 90s boy band feel of Kelce’s past looks, while another mourned the loss of the longer hair.
Fans of the Chiefs seem to be thrilled about Kelce’s return to this classic look, with a commenter noting it might signal a return to form: “Last season, that haircut was a mess. I’ve got my dog back.”
Kelce’s performance last season was arguably one of the worst of his career, aside from his rookie year when he played just one game. He recorded 823 receiving yards and three touchdowns, with an average of only 8.5 yards per catch, which is notably lower than his previous seasons.
Before these recent struggles, Kelce was a picture of consistency, earning All-Pro honors for seven consecutive years.
Despite any skepticism about his performance decline, Chiefs coach Andy Reid is optimistic about Kelce’s current fitness level. “He looks like he’s 20,” Reid remarked, praising his work ethic and commitment during training.
Although Kelce has been spending quality time with Swift during the offseason, it’s clear he is dedicated to getting back on track.
