For Pete's Sake

Here are a dozen photos from the GQ cover story on Chiefs’ Travis Kelce

This has been quite a week for Swelce fans.

That’s one of the name mashups fans share of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, superstar singer Taylor Swift. Others prefer Traylor.

It’s been such a newsy week for the couple that Kelce ranking 37th on the NFL 100 list of best players barely registered on social media.

Monday brought us news that it appeared Swift would make her first appearance on the New Heights podcast. Confirmation of that soon followed and early Tuesday morning came Swift announcing her forthcoming album.

Before fans could catch their breath, GQ released its cover story on Kelce, which includes a look at his relationship with Swift, his offseason workouts and more.

The story from Sean Manning also notes Kelce went to the Florida Everglades and “spent 12 hours trudging through swamps and cradling alligators and riding airboats” for a photoshoot that went with the article.

GQ posted multiple photos and videos to its Instagram account and said some of it took place at the Boca Raton Resort. The plethora of photos and videos will keep the Style By Kelce social media account plenty busy, because it shares details of what Kelce wears in public.

Kelce not only had an alligator in one picture, but there are some with a large snake, and he looks fashionable in all the shots. Here are a dozen photos shared by GQ.

This story was originally published August 12, 2025 at 1:17 PM.
