Travis Kelce<\/a> was in his red era on Thursday. The <\/span>Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> tight end<\/a> made a stylish appearance at the team’s <\/span>Super Bowl LVIII<\/a> ring ceremony on Thursday, where he reunited with teammates including <\/span>Patrick Mahomes<\/a> and <\/span>coach Andy Reid<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kelce wore an eye-catching cherry red corduroy suit over a white tank for the occasion, accessorizing with a blinged out necklace bearing his initials, gold-rimmed sunglasses, and white sneakers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Fans of Kelce’s girlfriend, <\/span>Taylor Swift<\/a>, were quick to praise the look, with some dubbing it “<\/span>Red (Travis’ Version)<\/a>” in a cheeky nod to the singer’s <\/span>hit album<\/a>. Travis, however, revealed that the ensemble’s actual inspiration was a bit more on-the-nose.<\/span><\/p>\n The 34-year-old athlete skipped the red carpet, but did greet teammate\u00a0Bryan Cook as the latter was being <\/span>interviewed<\/a> by a local news outlet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I gotta get inside before I start sweating,” he told Cook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kelce was then asked to share what inspired his latest look, answering, “You already know — Chiefs Kingdom, baby.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Kansas City Chiefs team colors are red and gold. For her part, Swift previously paid tribute <\/span>by wearing those colors<\/a> during her 87th <\/span>Eras Tour<\/a> show in Paris as a subtle nod to <\/span>her NFL star boyfriend<\/a>‘s <\/span>jersey number<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once inside the event, Kelce sat with the 28-year-old quarterback and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, as the teammates officially slipped on their third Super Bowl rings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Brittany shared a few sneak peeks from their table, including one epic Funko trinket that bore a hilariously striking resemblance to Kelce. She also offered a glimpse at the trio of rings on her husband’s fingers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Chiefs clinched <\/span>their third Super Bowl win<\/a> in five years — including back-to-back victories in 2023 and 2024 — when they defeated the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. <\/span>Swift was among those in the crowd<\/a> cheering for the team, though she was not in attendance for Thursday’s ring ceremony as she was busy performing <\/span>her 100th Eras Tour show<\/a> in Liverpool, England.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since their most recent win, several team members — including Kelce — have made clear their intent to become the first team in history to score three consecutive Super Bowls in the upcoming season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ring maker Jostens <\/span>shared<\/a>\u00a0an up close look at the dazzling new bauble, which features 16 rubies (representing 16 outright division championship titles), four football-shaped diamonds (for the franchise’s four total Super Bowl championships), 28 diamonds (for holding every opponent under 28 points). Each customized ring also includes the player’s name and jersey number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Notably, this year’s ring is the first to open and include confetti inside along with a graphic of their winning play in overtime. See all the details in the video below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kelce\u00a0<\/span>recently\u00a0signed a two-year contract extension<\/a>\u00a0with the Chiefs. The $34.25 million deal — which includes $17 million fully guaranteed this year — makes him the highest-paid tight end in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n Amid his current offseason, Kelce has\u00a0been busy\u00a0with\u00a0<\/span>a full slate<\/a>\u00a0of side hustles,\u00a0including hosting\u00a0<\/span>Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>and testing his acting chops in Ryan Murphy’s\u00a0<\/span>Grotesquerie<\/em><\/a>. He’s also\u00a0<\/span>thrown his hat in the ring for consideration<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0<\/span>Adam Sandler<\/a>\u00a0firms up plans for Netflix’s upcoming\u00a0<\/span>Happy Gilmore 2<\/em><\/a>\u00a0— though no formal casting has been announced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As part of his budding Hollywood career, Travis also recently\u00a0<\/span>produced the movie\u00a0<\/a>My Dead Friend Zoe<\/a>\u00a0—\u00a0<\/span><\/em>starring Sonequa Martin-Green, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman — and previously took a turn hosting\u00a0<\/span>Saturday Night Live<\/span><\/em>\u00a0in 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On this week’s episode of his New Heights<\/em><\/a> podcast, Kelce mentioned his post-football aspirations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I want to broadcast when I’m done playing,” he told his brother and co-host, Philadelphia Eagles alum <\/span>Jason Kelce<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For his part, Jason — who <\/span>famously lost his own Super Bowl ring earlier this year<\/a> — recently signed on to serve as\u00a0<\/span>a sportscaster for ESPN’s\u00a0Monday Night Football<\/em><\/a>\u00a0after announcing his NFL <\/span>retirement<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
