Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has drawn commentary regarding his appearance during the NFL offseason. This period follows the close of the 2024 season, where the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kelce and musician Taylor Swift have been reportedly enjoying a break from the spotlight together. A source told People magazine that they have been traveling and making the most of their time off together, including spending time with friends.
While Taylor Swift has largely remained out of public view, Kelce has made several recent appearances. He participated in Justin Timberlake's 8AM Invitational golf event, which featured other athletes and entertainers.
Kelce was later seen in New York, reportedly filming a commercial.
His appearance in these recent outings, particularly his hair style, prompted responses from fans online.
Many commented on the length and styling of his hair, expressing a preference for previous looks.
one person said on social media, "I hope this was a rehearsal to test angles and cameras and afterward his hair was styled better. I don't know why he keeps his hair long when I'm sure he doesn't like it at all. I hope that at training camp he brings back the buzzcut, he looked amazing with that haircut."
questioned another commenter about the style, "who gave him this blow out."
Responding to the look, suggested a third, "He either needs a new stylist or to go back to the buzz cut. Slick back doesn't work for his hair type."
The public commentary on his appearance while away from the football field highlights the scrutiny surrounding the athlete during the offseason.
