Travis Kelce turned heads during his first Arrowhead Stadium tunnel walk of the 2025-26 season on September 14, ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The tight end’s unusual outfit quickly went viral online.
Fresh off his engagement to Taylor Swift, Kelce showed up in a navy Thom Browne suit set. The ensemble included a blazer with striking red-and-white buttons, a crisp white shirt, and a matching navy tie—but the real showstopper was his navy shorts, cut above the knee to flaunt his toned legs. He finished the look with sleek black dress shoes and a pair of sunglasses.

Travis Kelce Trolled For His Short Suit
Usually, it’s the Bad Blood singer who faces criticism for her bold or questionable date-night fashion choices, but this time, Kelce stole the spotlight—for all the wrong reasons. Social media fans didn’t hold back, flooding timelines with reactions calling his outfit “ridiculous” and over-the-top.
“I really do appreciate that he experiments with fashion. But this is a no for me,” said one fan. A second wrote, “Wow, this is embarrassing. What happened to his pants?” A third noted, “Looks like Prince George.” A fourth wrote, “Looks ridiculous.” A fifth joked, “Now we know who wears the pants in the house! Taylor does!” A sixth said, “He thrives on attention!!!!” One person noted the Chiefs' loss, saying, “He should focus on football, not fashion. Missed a catch that led to an interception.” Another commented, “Your suit looks dorky.”
At the same game, Swift made her entrance at the stadium—but rather than stepping into the spotlight, she used a bulletproof divider to shield herself from cameras. The move sparked its own wave of social media backlash, with many users calling it “overly dramatic.”

The reporter asked how “rattled” he felt, and Kelce said, “She can tell that story. The palms were definitely sweating.” He continued, “I’m an emotional guy, so there were a few tears here and there. But it’s been an exciting ride up to this day, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.”
He then went on to share how the singer changed him in the best ways, saying, “She has brought excitement and a joy for life that made me a better man, made me a better person, and made me just that much more comfortable in who I am.”
