Travis Kelce Alters Hair Style, Reverts to Iconic Cropped Cut during Kansas City Chiefs Training Exercises
Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce Unveils New Haircut Ahead of 2025 NFL Season
Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has undergone a notable physical transformation ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Kelce traded his long '90s-style curtains for a shorter buzz cut with faded sides, a change that has sparked a lot of buzz among fans and teammates.
The Chiefs' official social media accounts shared a picture of Kelce with his new hairdo on Instagram, captioned "Fresh cut Trav." Assistant special teams coach Porter Ellett also shared a picture with Kelce and two of his children, showcasing the tight end's new look.
In an August 2024 interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio hosts Bruce Murray and Alex Smith, Kelce's teammate, Patrick Mahomes, joked that Kelce grew out his hair at the behest of his pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift, during the Chiefs' 2024 training camp.
Kelce's Instagram post included images of him and Swift enjoying a late-night dinner, going skiing with friends, and ice skating. The images showcased the couple's adventures during their offseason, a testament to their two-year relationship.
The tight end captioned the carousel of images, "Had some adventures this offseason." In a recent TikTok video shared by the Chiefs, Kelce kept his response coy when asked about his favorite moments from the NFL offseason.
The new haircut was taken at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri. Kelce likely changed his haircut to avoid discomfort from the high summer temperatures during training. The intense demands of training camp and summer heat make a long hairstyle less convenient.
Not all fans were pleased with Kelce's decision to cut his long hair. Some expressed sadness on social media, while others reacted positively, with one fan expressing excitement for the upcoming season.
Travis Kelce participated in the team's fifth practice session on July 27, 2022, signalling his readiness for the upcoming season with his new look. As the Chiefs gear up for the 2025 season, fans are eager to see how Kelce's new haircut will impact his performance on the field.
Travis Kelce's new haircut, a buzz cut with faded sides, has generated excitement among NFL fans, as seen on social media platforms, particularly on the Kansas City Chiefs' official Instagram account. This new appearance comes just in time for the 2025 American-football season, where Kelce's performance will be closely scrutinized and presented by various sports media outlets.
