Travis Kelce's Friendship Bracelets Were a Sweet Nod to Taylor Swift

Apart maybe in distance but never at heart.

Travis Kelce is on a solo trip in Cannes, while his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, has taken her Eras Tour to London—but even though the pair are currently managing a long-distance relationship, it's clear that she's never far from his mind. While walking around the French city, the football player was seen sporting two friendship bracelets in a subtle sartorial nod to his popstar girlfriend. According to People, the bracelets read "Cannes" and "Fearless," in a cute reference to Swift's 2008 sophomore album of the same name. Kelce was reportedly given the two bracelets by a fan.

Friendship bracelets have become a staple for Swifties since the beginning of her Eras Tour last year. The singer included a line about friendship bracelets in her song "You're On Your Own, Kid" and since then, fans have been making and trading bracelets.

Kelce is only too familiar with the friendship bracelet ritual. In fact, it's how he and Swift first crossed paths. Back in July 2023, long before the pair had even met, Kelce mentioned on his podcast that he was sad he didn't get to meet Swift when he saw the Eras Tour. “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,” Kelce said, “so I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

He added, “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets. I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.” Apparently, Swift heard about Kelce's bracelet through the grapevine and the pair eventually started dating.

Since then, both Kelce and Swift have been spotted wearing friendship bracelets that hint towards their relationship. Last October, she attended one of Kelce's games wearing a bracelet that featured his jersey number, 87. Similarly, in March, he wore a bracelet that featured his and Swift's initials.

Kelce, along with his brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie, are in Cannes for the Cannes Lions Festival where the brothers are promoting their New Heights podcast. Kelce was last seen with Swift back in May when the couple took a trip to Lake Como, however, Swift did Zoom into Kelce's Super Bowl ring ceremony last week. Rumor has it, the couple won't have to worry about long-distance for much longer—as Swift begins her London leg of the Eras Tour today, it's highly possible that Kelce and his family will make the quick flight from Cannes to the England capital to support her.
