NEED TO KNOW

  • Diligent Taylor Swift fans spotted Travis Kelce’s sweet outfit choice in the new ESPN docuseries, The Kingdom
  • Kelce wore a sweatshirt representing “The Tortured Poets Department” during the second episode
  • Viewers also suspect he was eating one of the pop star’s iconic homemade Pop-Tarts

Nothing gets by the Swifties.

Eagle-eyed Taylor Swift fans caught boyfriend Travis Kelce wearing the singer’s merchandise at practice during the new ESPN docuseries, The Kingdom. The Kansas City Chiefs show, which hit ESPN, ESPN+ and Disney+ on Thursday, Aug. 14, included the adorable, split-second detail in the second episode.

In the moment, head coach Andy Reid was addressing the 2024 team and most teammates, like quarterback Patrick Mahomes, were seen finding seats and wearing matching red Chiefs sweatshirts. But the tight end was caught on camera in a grey sweatshirt representing “The Tortured Poets Department”, Swift’s 11th album.

The supportive apparel is not the only adorable Easter Egg in the seconds-long scene. In one hand, the NFL star was holding two canned drinks, and in the other, he had a frosted dessert. Swift superfans have deduced that Kelce is eating one of the pop star’s iconic homemade Pop-Tarts.

Kelce and other Chiefs’ players have spoken about her confections — even Reid revealed that Swift “makes a mean pop tart” during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show in March 2024.

There is no mention of Kelce’s dessert in the episode of The Kingdom, which chronicles the Chiefs’ 2024 season, but the thick-crusted, white-iced and rainbow-sprinkled Pop-Tarts in his hand look like the treats Swift has distributed to friends over the years.

Swift recently announced her new 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, and spoke about her love of baking on Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast on Wednesday, Aug. 13.

“We’re very deep in a sourdough obsession that has taken over my life,” she admitted during the episode, adding that she has “a different baking obsession every six months.” In response, Travis said, “I am the luckiest man in the world.”

Just a day later, on Aug. 14, the “Lover” singer’s close friend, Ashley Avignone, confirmed Swift’s baking habit by sharing a photo of her Cinnamon Raisin sourdough. She packaged the loaf with cat stickers and a cheeky reference to her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, by writing, “The Loaf of a Dough Girl.”
