Travis Kelce is sporting a different look as he enters his 12th season with the Chiefs, and teammate Patrick Mahomes believes the tight end’s superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, deserves the credit.
During an appearance Tuesday on SiriusXM NFL Radio, the star Chiefs quarterback, 28, commented on how Kelce has grown out his hair — something Mahomes has pushed for some time.
“I’ve been trying to get him to grow his hair out and all of a sudden Taylor gets him to do it,” Mahomes said, according to TMZ.
Kelce has rocked longer locks at training camp this summer compared to the buzz cut he’s regularly sported.
The Chiefs are looking to run it back in 2024 as they chase a Super Bowl three-peat following their championship runs the past two seasons.
Kansas City topped the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in an overtime triumph this past February.
Kelce celebrated his third Super Bowl win with Swift, 34, by his side, as she traveled to Las Vegas for the big game from Tokyo, where she performed her blockbuster Eras Tour.
The couple then celebrated with Mahomes and his wife, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brittany Mahomes, who forged a close friendship with Swift last season.
Swift’s whirlwind romance with Kelce ignited a frenzy after her first appearance at Arrowhead Stadium last September, when she took in the action from a suite with Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce.
She cheered on the nine-time Pro Bowler at various contests throughout the year.
Kelce then supported Swift around the globe as she continued the international leg of her Eras Tour, which wraps in London on Aug. 20 before returning to North America this fall.
Swift canceled three shoes in Vienna, Austria, last week in the wake of a foiled terror attack.
In the aftermath, Kelce contacted Swift “immediately,” Page Six reported.
Kelce and the Chiefs are preparing to open the season on Thursday, Sept. 5, at home against the Ravens.
Kansas City defeated Baltimore, 17-10, in January’s AFC Championship Game en route to the Super Bowl.
