Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, recently made a change to his Instagram profile picture that caught the attention of fans. Although it may seem like a small gesture, Swifties couldn’t help but notice that several of Taylor’s close friends also changed their profile pictures to black and white. This sparked speculation among fans that Taylor’s re-recorded album, Reputation (Taylor’s Version), was about to be released. While it’s possible that Kelce’s profile picture change was coincidental, fans loved the idea that he was showing support for Taylor in this way.
On February 4, Taylor Swift confirmed the rumors by changing her own Instagram profile photo to a black-and-white picture. This further fueled the anticipation among fans for the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version). In addition to the profile picture change, Swifties also noticed that Taylor unarchived a photo from November 2017 that featured cover art. The caption on the photo read, “3 days until #reputation” – and that was three days ago. Fans are now eagerly awaiting an announcement from Taylor at the Grammy Awards, where she is nominated for six awards.
Fans also believe that Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, dropped a subtle hint for Taylor during her appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” Brittany wore Strass Snake ankle boots, which were seen as fitting for the Reputation era. These boots, made by Rene Caovilla and retailing for $1,700, were seen as a nod to Taylor’s upcoming album.
While fans would love to see Taylor and Kelce make their red carpet debut together, they will have to wait. Kelce’s practice schedule for the Super Bowl prevents him from joining Taylor at the Grammy Awards. In an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Kelce expressed his support for Taylor and his regret at not being able to attend the awards ceremony. He mentioned that he is focused on preparing for the Super Bowl and wishes Taylor the best.
With all the excitement and anticipation surrounding Taylor Swift and her upcoming album, fans are eagerly awaiting any further clues or announcements. The Grammy Awards will surely be a night to watch for Swifties everywhere.
In a recent interview with McAfee, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce addressed the speculation surrounding Taylor Swift’s potential appearance at the Super Bowl. While Kelce did not confirm whether Swift would be present, he did mention that she has a concert scheduled in Tokyo on February 10, just one day before the big game. Despite the 17-hour time difference, Kelce suggested that Swift could easily make it to Las Vegas in time for kickoff by hopping on her private jet immediately after her show ends.
Kelce also addressed the criticism that Swift receives from some fans, referring to them as “Dads, Brads, and Chads.” He made it clear that he pays no attention to the haters and is grateful for Swift’s support. “I love it when Taylor comes and supports me and enjoys the game with the fam and friends,” Kelce said. “It’s been nothing but a wonderful year.”
Acknowledging the attention their relationship receives, Kelce admitted that it has been an unexpected and wild ride. Despite this, he is choosing to have fun with it and not let it distract him from his goal of winning a third Super Bowl ring. “Football is my main focus right now,” Kelce emphasized. “There’s a lot of people counting on me in this building, this city, and this organization. This is my No. 1 focus. And top of that, it’s in my heart to be able to pour everything I got out there on the field.”
