As seen in the photos obtained by Page Six, Kelce, 35, was toting a large duffel bag with the zipper left open, revealing a noticeable pink item inside. It didn't take long for eagle-eyed fans on social media to recognize the item, which appeared to be a copy of Swift's Eras Tour Book.

"Travis misses eras tour just as much as us," one X user quipped, while someone else called the football player "so real" for the gesture.
"He's carrying around the daily essentials what's the big deal," another user joked.
While plenty of Swifties on X loved envisioning Kelce "treating the eras tour book like a photo album and whipping it out whenever anyone comes over like a proud family member," other fans tried to come up with a reasonable explanation for the book being in his gym bag.
"He is probably bringing an autograph copy to someone at the gym," one person guessed. Another user predicted, "Someone is going to have a nice gift!"Eagle-Eyed Fans Notice Travis Kelce's Subtle Support for Taylor Swift at the Gym first appeared on Parade on Jun 11, 2025

Travis Kelce Shares His 'Only Goal': And It Has Nothing to Do With Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce has gone from NFL star to full-blown pop culture sensation, a far cry from the career path he once imagined. Now, in 2025, he's laser-focused on one 'only goal,' and it's not what you imagined. In an interview with GQ, he claims that amid all the chatter surrounding his relationship with Taylor Swift, he's got a more serious issue to deal with. He is looking to regroup from the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl loss by working with speed and agility coach Tony Villani. 'Win a Super Bowl is the only goal,' Kelce reveals. 'It's the only goal. It's every goal.' He added, 'I think it might have slipped a little bit because I did have a little bit more focus in trying to set myself up. And opportunities came up where I was excited to venture into a new world of acting and being an entertainer.' COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess. While Kelce doesn't feel his outside ventures hurt his football career, he realizes that he hasn't been working up to his 'standard.' He says, 'I don't say this as 'I shouldn't have done it.' I'm just saying that my work ethic is such that I have so much pride in how I do things that I never want the product to tail off.' 'I feel like these past two years haven't been up to my standard. I just have such a motivation to show up this year for my guys.' This motivation pushes Kelce to try and remain a role model. He knows he has a worldwide platform not only via his football career, but also via his relationship with Swift. The athlete admits, 'I do want people to look at me like I'm doing good in the world, I'm influencing and using my platform for the better, being a role model, being somebody that has done it the right way.' Travis Kelce hosts the New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce.

Taylor Swift's 'Sourdough' Comments Have Fans Convinced She's Playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show: Here's Why
Swifties have connected the pop star's favorite bread to a certain mascot — and a potential performance at Super Bowl LX NEED TO KNOW Taylor Swift's latest talk of sourdough has fans making connections to a potential Super Bowl Halftime Show performance The fan theories involve San Francisco 49ers mascot Sourdough Sam, the number 60 and a specific date on the pop star's Eras Tour Recent halftime show performers have included Kendrick Lamar, Usher, Rihanna, Dr. Dre and The Weeknd Taylor Swift is certainly cooking something up — and fans think it might be more than sourdough. After the pop superstar announced her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, and discussed her new 'obsession" with baking sourdough on boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast this week, Swifties began to wonder if her latest hobby reveal had a little more meaning behind it. Specifically, some are making the connection to the Super Bowl Halftime Show. During the podcast appearance, Swift, 35, revealed that sourdough has "taken over my life in a huge way," and she admitted to thinking about bread "60% of the time now." 'I'm just, like, always baking bread and texting my friends and being like, 'Can I send you some bread? I need some feedback. Do you like this one better than you liked the other one? Like, I did the rise a little differently,' Swift said. As viewers have since pointed out, Super Bowl LX will be taking place at the San Francisco 49ers' Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The team's mascot is none other than Sourdough Sam, a gold miner who shares a name with Swift's favorite new treat. As for the significance of the "60%," fans have suggested it could be a nod to Super Bowl LX itself, the 60th such NFL event. At the beginning of Swift's New Heights appearance, which premiered on Wednesday, Aug. 13, the singer also thanked Jason, 37, for "screaming for, like, 47 seconds." Sleuthing Swifties have since pondered if the number 47 "could be a connection" to Swift's 47th Eras Tour stop, which took place at Levi's Stadium. Swift played in Santa Clara on July 28 and July 29 in 2023, with her 47th date of the tour falling on the latter evening. The halftime performer for Super Bowl LX has yet to be announced. Super Bowl LIX's halftime performer, Kendrick Lamar, was announced back in September 2024 — five months before he took the stage on Feb. 9. Other performers in recent years have included Usher, Rihanna, Dr. Dre and The Weeknd, to name a few. As for what fans can definitively expect from Swift in the coming months, the 14-time Grammy winner announced on New Heights that her next LP arrives on Oct. 3. The Life of a Showgirl features 12 tracks, a few alternative covers and a collaboration with friend and former Eras Tour opener, Sabrina Carpenter. For the production end of things, Swift tapped Max Martin and Shellback on the latest album. Martin, 54, is known for his work with not only Swift ("Blank Space"), but also Adele, Britney Spears, Katy Perry and other major pop acts. "It meant the world to me to have this creative experience where we knew we had to bring the best ideas we've ever had," she said of working with Martin on New Heights. "I also know the pressure I'm putting on this record by saying that, but I don't care because I love it that much." Read the original article on People

Travis Kelce, those shirtless GQ photos and how masculinity is changing
Travis Kelce has been everywhere this week. On Aug 12, he was shirtless on the cover of GQ. In the photoshoot, Kelce presents a stereotypical (and exaggerated) embodiment of masculinity — he is dressed in full fur, construction vests and wrangles alligators. He's unflinching while wrapped in a snake. But in the interview, he also embraces vulnerability, grapples with self-doubt and talks about it openly – celebrating his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, in the process. The following day, Swift made her highly anticipated debut as a guest on Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, during which she announced her 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Kelce said she's "the best songwriter in the world." Swift countered with "says my boyfriend,' but isn't that exactly how boyfriends should talk about their partners? His pride in talking about Swift along with his openness in his GQ interview sets a critical example for young men today. Mental health experts say it's crucial for boys and young men to understand the importance of showing emotion, which can contribute to building long-lasting relationships and overall mental wellness. 'It's breaking the masculine code, stepping out of the man box, and saying, 'Yeah, I'm vulnerable,'" said Ronald Levant, a professor emeritus of psychology at The University of Akron and co-author of 'The Problem with Men: Insights on Overcoming a Traumatic Childhood from a World-Renowned Psychologist." 'Black cat boyfriends' and a new dawn for emotional men We're living through the rise of the "black cat boyfriend" — an archetype of elusive, emotionally complex love interests in shows like "Too Much" (Felix), "The Summer I Turned Pretty" (Conrad) and "Ginny and Georgia" (Marcus). And while it seems like viewers are rooting for vulnerable men now more than ever, we've always had a soft spot for the complicated character with a good heart. Just look at Jess from 'Gilmore Girls" or Lucas from 'One Tree Hill." Celebrities are also having a moment when it comes to vulnerability. In January, a viral video of Bad Bunny crying after his song "DTMF" blew up on TikTok opened up a conversation around men and emotion. 'Bad Bunny signals to young men that it's not only acceptable, but also healthy to confront and express their feelings, which is something that men and young boys haven't been taught to do,' Sheldon Jacobs, a licensed therapist who serves on the National Alliance on Mental Illness Board of Directors, previously told USA TODAY. 'It's really pushing and challenging those cultural norms.' In Kelce's GQ interview, he said it is difficult to "block out" the increased media scrutiny. He admits that despite his inability to control what people say about him, it does affect him. "If someone says something that they don't like about you, you have to be able to understand how you are portraying yourself for them to say that," he says. "I'm a guy who doesn't want anyone to say anything negative about me. Some people don't give a (expletive). I'm someone who does care.' He wants to be someone young people can look up to, he told GQ: "I do want people to look at me like I'm doing good in the world, I'm influencing and using my platform for the better, being a role model, being somebody that has done it the right way." What's a 'black cat boyfriend' and why is everyone obsessed with them? Travis Kelce is Swift's biggest hypeman When Swift finally posted Kelce on her Instagram feed, Swifties celebrated. They've praised Kelce for "loving her out loud" — his joy over her accomplishments, and her happiness to have him by her side through them shines. "When we feel confident in our partner, it can feel great to show them off," Kimberly Vered Shashoua, a licensed clinical social worker, previously told USA TODAY. On "New Heights," Swift shared that she couldn't have been happier to be near Travis the moment she got her masters back. She ran into the next room sobbing to break the news, and even he shed a tear. "I started crying too, you know I'm a crier," he said. "You were weeping," Swift quipped. In the words of Swift herself: Kelce and Swift "show up for each other." "You want to keep things private, but at the same time... I'm not here to hide anything," Kelce said in June 2024. "That's my girl, that's my lady, I'm proud of that." Contributing: Rachel Hale, David Oliver This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Travis Kelce is Taylor Swift's No. 1 fan.
