So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.
While Taylor Swift wasn’t able to support boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs at their Super Bowl 2024 ring ceremony on Thursday, she was there in spirit.
Travis Kelce Making Friendship Bracelets
Not only did the singer, 34, join a livestream to fangirl over her boyfriend and friends while performing her Eras Tour overseas, but Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid also both gave a subtle shout-out to the pop star by wearing beaded friendship bracelets to the event.
Both the team’s 28-year-old quarterback and 66-year-old coach rocked designs featuring team colors in photos from the ceremony, with 11-year-old fashion influencer (and huge Chiefs fan) Taylen Biggs confirming that she designed Reid’s bracelet on her Instagram Story.

Patrick Mahomes also wore a colorful beaded bracelet on the red carpet.

The legendary NFL coach’s colorful style is visible in a photo the team shared on Instagram Thursday, with the bracelet revealed as Reid held his hand up to show off his new Super Bowl ring.
His custom-made piece reads “Kansas City Chiefs” and “Coach” in yellow, red, white, black and silver beads.
Meanwhile, Mahomes — who wore a sleek black suit jacket covered in tonal gemstones with matching trousers — wore a similar style, although it’s unclear what his bracelet said.
Pre-teen influencer Taylen Biggs interviewed Patrick Mahomes on the red carpet.

Mahomes showed off his three Super Bowl rings along with a chunky diamond bracelet.
Numerous Chiefs fans spotted Reid’s bracelet in the team’s Instagram pic, like one who wrote, “I mean the ring is great, but let’s talk about that friendship bracelet!”
“The friendship bracelet steals the picture, that’s so sweet! You and the Queen looked stunning tonight!” another wrote, referring to Reid’s wife, Tammy.
“Ahhhh Coach with my bracelet 💝” Biggs commented on the post.
Although Kelce failed at his attempt to give the “Cruel Summer” singer a bracelet with his phone number on it before their first meeting, all’s well that ends well, in the words of Swift, as the two started dating shortly after their missed July 2023 encounter.
Swift and Kelce are close friends with the Mahomeses.
Mahomes recently shared that he helped give his friend the confidence to approach the “Shake it Off” singer with the handmade piece of jewelry, telling the Pat McAfee Show, “I had some input in there as well. I was like, ‘Dude, just go for it. Go for it.’”
Friendship bracelets have become a signature piece of Swifties around the world after the pop star referenced them in her song “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” and Kelce has been spotted wearing them on numerous occasions since he got together with Swift.
He even gave his fiancée a diamond replica of their initials, “TNT,” during the NFL playoffs earlier this year. He also had a corresponding piece of jewelry, though he didn’t seem to wear it to the significant occasion, where he was dressed in a flaming red corduroy suit.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed for more Swiftie/Chiefs mashups because football season is almost approaching.
