Travis Kelce Debuts Buzz Cut at Chiefs Training Camp

Travis Kelce made headlines at the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp on July 27, showcasing a fresh buzz cut that has fans buzzing.

During the team's fifth practice session at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, the 35-year-old tight end was spotted with his classic buzz cut, a stark contrast to the longer, '90s-style curtains he sported over the summer.

The Chiefs' social media team quickly shared a photo of Kelce's new look, captioning it, “Fresh cut Trav 😎✂️,” as he flashed a smile for the camera.

Assistant special teams coach Porter Ellett also joined in on the fun, capturing a moment with Kelce and his children, further highlighting the tight end's return to his iconic hairstyle.

Reactions poured in on social media, with one fan exclaiming, “He brought back the fade! Super Bowl confirmed!! LFGGGG KELCE have yourself a season!! ❤️😍,” while another lamented, “His beautiful hair is gone 😭😭.”

Kelce had embraced longer hair for much of the past year, often styled back. Teammate Patrick Mahomes humorously noted that pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift may have influenced this change. “I’ve been trying to get him to grow his hair out and all of a sudden Taylor gets him to do it,” Mahomes remarked during an August 2024 interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Since the Chiefs' Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in February, Kelce and Swift have enjoyed a relatively private summer. On July 24, he took to Instagram to share snapshots from their time together, making their relationship Instagram official after two years of dating. “Had some adventures this offseason,” he wrote alongside images of their late-night dinners and skiing outings.

In a recent TikTok video from the Chiefs, players were asked about their favorite offseason moments. While others mentioned family and personal experiences, Kelce kept his answer vague. “Man, too many,” he said, hinting at the memorable summer he shared with Swift.
