Apart maybe in distance but never at heart.
Travis Kelce is on a solo trip in Cannes, while his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, has taken her Eras Tour to London—but even though the pair are currently managing a long-distance relationship, it’s clear that she’s never far from his mind. While walking around the French city, the football player was seen sporting two friendship bracelets in a subtle sartorial nod to his popstar girlfriend. According to People, the bracelets read “Cannes” and “Fearless,” in a cute reference to Swift’s 2008 sophomore album of the same name. Kelce was reportedly given the two bracelets by a fan.

Friendship bracelets have become a staple for Swifties since the beginning of her Eras Tour last year. The singer included a line about friendship bracelets in her song “You’re On Your Own, Kid” and since then, fans have been making and trading bracelets.
Kelce is only too familiar with the friendship bracelet ritual. In fact, it’s how he and Swift first crossed paths. Back in July 2023, long before the pair had even met, Kelce mentioned on his podcast that he was sad he didn’t get to meet Swift when he saw the Eras Tour. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce said, “so I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

He added, “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets. I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.” Apparently, Swift heard about Kelce’s bracelet through the grapevine and the pair eventually started dating.

Since then, both Kelce and Swift have been spotted wearing friendship bracelets that hint towards their relationship. Last October, she attended one of Kelce’s games wearing a bracelet that featured his jersey number, 87. Similarly, in March, he wore a bracelet that featured his and Swift’s initials.
Kelce, along with his brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie, are in Cannes for the Cannes Lions Festival where the brothers are promoting their New Heights podcast. Kelce was last seen with Swift back in May when the couple took a trip to Lake Como, however, Swift did Zoom into Kelce’s Super Bowl ring ceremony last week. Rumor has it, the couple won’t have to worry about long-distance for much longer—as Swift begins her London leg of the Eras Tour today, it’s highly possible that Kelce and his family will make the quick flight from Cannes to the England capital to support her.
Coming to cheer for her boyfriend – football player Travis Kelce – on October 22, singer Taylor Swift wore a team uniform and a bracelet with his jersey number.
Taylor Swift was seen sitting in the stands watching the match between Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers. She wore the team’s red shirt and sat next to teammate Travis’s wife. The pop star attracted attention with a yellow bracelet, which had the number 87 between two hearts.
During the match, Taylor Swift excitedly cheered and interacted with those around her. She also enthusiastically took photos of football player Patrick Mahomes’ wife and children.
The 33-year-old singer and football star Travis Kelce have been publicly dating since September. Taylor has continuously gone to the stadium to support her boyfriend’s matches over the past month. With the pop star’s support, Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs won consecutively.
Travis Kelce, 34 years old, has twice won the Super Bowl with the team. The American sports star is the one who proactively got to know Taylor Swift. In July, Travis went to see Taylor’s concert and tried to meet her to give her a bracelet with a phone number.
Taylor and Travis Kelce’s new love affair is fully supported by fans. Taylor’s fans wrote that they were happy that the female singer could publicly express her feelings after many years of a secret relationship with her ex-lover. “I’m so happy that Taylor found someone who isn’t afraid of her shine and treats her lovingly,” one fan wrote.
Taylor spent 5 years dating British actor Joe Alwyn. Disagreements in lifestyle as well as the difference in popularity and success are said to be the reasons why the two broke up earlier this year.
