Just like the Swifties, Chiefs’ Travis Kelce can make friendship bracelets, too. Watch
OK, so a string of cheap plastic beads doesn’t carry the same cache as a diamond-encrusted Super Bowl ring.
But at Tight End University last week in Nashville, a three-day program co-founded by Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, friendship bracelets sure made burly NFL players grin.
Kelce borrowed the bracelet-swap idea from Taylor Swift, who will invade his workplace of Arrowhead Stadium next week for two sold-out shows, drawing thousands of Swifites to town.
“So it’s my third year here at Tight End U,” Kelce says in an NFL video that shows him sitting at a table stringing bracelets, just like legions of Swifites are doing ahead of her Eras Tour shows, where they swap their creations.
“Try to make it more special every single year that we do this. Thought what better way than to welcome the guys with friendship bracelets. Take a page out of Taylor Swift’s book.
“I just hope somebody has one for me.”
Oh, they did.
Buffalo Bills rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid helped Kelce pass out the bracelets. He handed Kelce a handmade bracelet with “TEU” and “Kelce” spelled out in beads.
“I gotta gift for you,” Kincaid told him.
“Did you make this for me?” the two-time Super Bowl champ asked excitedly. (Somewhere in a locked box his Super Bowl rings wept in jealousy.)
Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes are two Chiefs players who local Swifites hope to see in the VIP tent at the Arrowhead concerts, July 7 and 8.
