Tight end Travis Kelce was a favorite among Chiefs fans long before he began dating singing sensation Taylor Swift.

But Swift’s fans have been thrilled by the way he treats his girlfriend, and many of those Swifties have become Chiefs fans.

Thus, it’s little surprise that fans at Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph have been drawn to Kelce. He’s signed autographs, as he always does, and it appears one young girl gave Kelce a friendship bracelet.

A picture was circulating on social media of Kelce autographing a football, perhaps for that girl. I don’t know the photographer’s name (if you do, let me know), but this is such a sweet picture of the girl who was enchanted by meeting Kelce.

Training camp for the Chiefs and Kelce will continue through Aug. 15, so there are sure to be more fans making their way to St. Joe to see him.

Here are some more photos of Swifties and other Chiefs fans who have had the opportunity to meet Kelce at camp.

And fans who are in St. Joseph will see this huge Kelce bobblehead at camp.
