Travis Kelce Crafts Taylor Swift-Style Friendship Bracelets in NFL ‘Easter Eggs’ Cartoon!

Hey, guess what? Travis Kelce is having a festive time in the NFL’s Christmas Day Games cartoon! The 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player, known for his connection with Taylor Swift, is depicted in the graphic alongside a ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle,’ donning his No. 87 jersey as he crafts friendship bracelets with beads.

\he caption challenges fans to find all the hidden surprises, teasing what’s in store for the Christmas Day NFL special. Swift’s devoted fanbase, the Swifties, brought the lyrics from her song ‘You’re on Your Own, Kid’ to life by creating and exchanging beaded, Swift-themed bracelets, a trend that caught the singer’s attention and played a role in her interest in Kelce before they started dating.

Last July, Kelce was spotted at Swift’s concert, chilling in his private box at Arrowhead Stadium and swapping friendship bracelets with fans in Kansas City. On his podcast, ‘New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,’ he revealed his plan to give Swift his number on a bracelet but missed the chance due to Swift’s voice-saving routine. Disappointed, Kelce shared his story on the podcast, but the public shoutout worked, and Swift reached out to him.

Swift later shared in a TIME interview that she found it “metal as hell” how Kelce put her on blast on his podcast. They began hanging out, keeping their connection under wraps for a while. According to Swift, this allowed them to spend quality time getting to know each other. 

The NFL’s Nickmas cartoon, promoting the Chiefs’ Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders, features Kelce and even gives the Nickelodeon treatment to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is depicted flying towards the Christmas tree with a gift.

In the cartoon, you can spot Maxx Crosby from the Raiders trying to make a tackle on Mahomes while sporting purple ear muffs. The Chiefs’ Isiah Pacheco, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Christopher Deshun Jones also make appearances. On the other side, Davante Adams, Amik Robertson, and Josh Jacobs represent the Las Vegas Raiders in the graphic.

For the upcoming matchup, the Chiefs hold the home-field advantage at Arrowhead Stadium. They’re heading into the game with a recent 27-17 victory over the New England Patriots.
