Monday was an emotional day for the entire Kelce family as longtime Eagles center Jason Kelce announced his retirement after 13 NFL seasons. He did so with his brother, Travis, in attendance.
And while both Travis and Jason were tearful during the announcement, eagle-eyed Taylor Swift fans noticed that Travis was wearing friendship bracelets while in Philadelphia to support his brother.

It is common practice at Taylor Swift concerts to exchange friendship bracelets. And for Travis specifically, his relationship with Swift was made possible thanks to a friendship bracelet. He mentioned in a New Heights episode over the summer that he was disappointed that he couldn’t give Swift a bracelet with his phone number on it. That clip evidently led to the 14-time Grammy winner reaching out, and the rest is history.
One of the bracelets that Travis wore appeared to say “T ❤️ T” with another saying “Travis Kelce is” in the visible portion.
With Swift in Singapore this week for the Eras Tour, Swifties loved that Travis had Swift represented in such a huge moment for Jason.
