Travis Kelce recently spent a day golfing with friends, and eagle-eyed Taylor Swift fans were quick to notice a subtle nod to the pop star in his outfit. Alongside his striped polo shirt and chinos, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end donned a Sherwood Country Club baseball cap embroidered with “1989” – the year the club’s golf course opened.
One Swiftie pointed out, “his hat says 1989 AND has an archer on it,” referring to the club’s logo also featured on Kelce’s cap. The fan added, “you can’t make this stuff up!” It’s clear that Kelce’s choice of headwear didn’t go unnoticed by the keen-eyed Taylor Swift enthusiasts.
Kelce’s buddies attempted to throw him off his game by blaring Swift’s “1989” track “Bad Blood,” but to their surprise, it seemed to have the opposite effect. In a humorous turn of events, the tune actually improved Kelce’s swing. As one person can be heard saying in the video, “Oh no – this backfired. He likes it!”
The playful banter continued as Kelce showcased his air guitar skills in the midst of the golf game. His friend Chandler Parsons captured the lighthearted moment and shared it on Instagram, where he humorously noted, “@killatrav cannot be rattled.”
A subtle nod to Swift or just a coincidence?
The significance of the number “1989” goes beyond just being the year the golf course opened. It also happens to be the name of Taylor Swift’s fifth studio album, which was a massive hit. Additionally, it holds personal significance for both Swift and Kelce as their birth year.
The light-hearted camaraderie and playful teasing among friends were evident as they bonded over golf and music. The video shared by Parsons on Instagram provided a glimpse into the fun-filled day, showcasing how Kelce’s friends tried to disrupt his game with Taylor Swift’s music, only to find that it had the opposite effect.
In a light-hearted and semicasual tone, Kelce’s day of golf with friends turned into a playful exchange of banter and camaraderie, with Taylor Swift’s music unexpectedly becoming a part of the fun. As one fan rightfully pointed out, “you can’t make this stuff up!”
