For Pete's Sake

A ‘Swiftie’ managed to get a friendship bracelet to Chiefs’ Travis Kelce at Eagles game

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s every move is being watched these days.

In some cases, that’s his choice, such as this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” cameo. But other times, the paparazzi is around to take photos and videos of what he’s doing.

That’s especially true when he’s with girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

Kelce was in New York over the weekend and he stopped by MetLife Stadium to watch his brother, Jason, and the Eagles take on the Jets. Kelce wore green in an effort to blend in, but Fox Sports’ cameras spotted him on the sideline.

So did a Taylor Swift fan (known as a “Swiftie”), who managed to get a security guard to get a friendship bracelet to Kelce. Swift’s fans like to give those bracelets to one another.

Kelce seemed happy to receive the gift, and the people who were around him liked that he got it, too.

The words “on the map” on the bracelet are a nod to the viral videos of Swift’s fans trolling their husbands by saying the singer is the only reason why people know Kelce.

Those videos are really funny, and here is an example.
