Travis Kelce Makes Taylor Swift Friendship Bracelets in NFL Cartoon

Publish date: 2024-06-04

We’re not going to say Taylor Swift is the best thing to happen to the NFL … but only because the league basically already admitted that, in its latest Christmas card. On Wednesday, the National Football League released a hilarious, amazing cartoon with kids’ TV network Nickelodeon featuring little illustrations of top players from the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders, who are opening presents, tackling each other, and playing around a Christmas tree in their uniforms. (The teams go up against each other on Christmas Day, December 25.)

Every part of the cartoon is truly flawless, but the best part is the little Travis Kelce, sitting in a corner by himself, googly-eyed, blushing, and making Taylor Swift friendship bracelets.

As Swifties know, the Chiefs tight end first made a move on the pop superstar by making a friendship bracelet with his number on it and attempting to give it to her at one of her Eras Tour concerts. While he was not successful, they did eventually exchange numbers—and the rest, as we know, is history. The pair are now fully in a relationship and have continually supported each other—Swift at Kelce’s games and Kelce at Swift’s shows.

“Can you spot all the Easter eggs? 🏈🎄unwrap all the surprises with #NFLonNickmas,” the NFL’s Instagram caption reads, fittingly. As Swifties know, the singer is also well known for leaving Easter eggs in her song lyrics and music videos for fans to uncover and decipher.
