Travis Kelce has arrived in style for the Kansas City Chiefs’ showdown with the Houston Texans while rocking a fluffy jacket worth $1.6k and a $4.2k Louis Vuitton cap.
Kelce is expected to be cheered on in a rare Saturday NFL fixture by girlfriend Taylor Swift, who is free to return to Arrowhead for the first time in over three weeks after bringing the curtain down on her Eras Tour earlier this month.
The Chiefs are looking to continue their near-flawless season after winning 13 out of 14 so far, with their only defeat coming at the hands of fellow Super Bowl contenders the Buffalo Bills.
They are taking on a Texans side who sit comfortably atop the AFC South with a 9-5 record while enjoying a run of three wins in five games.
Kelce made his way into Arrowhead wearing a Louis Vuitton x Nigo LV Made Stripe Flat Cap, which is worth a staggering $4,225, a beige faux-fur jacket from luxury designer Marni that costs $1,595, and light denim jeans, brown boots and shades.
Yet while he may look the part, the 35-year-old comes into Saturday’s meeting with Houston in a dismal run of form from a football standpoint, with one grim statistic summing up his struggles in 2024.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stun in new pictures from her Eras Tour party amid engagement rumors
After 14 games this season Travis is the only player in the NFL with 75 receptions or more to be averaging less than 10 yards per catch. He is not even close to that threshold either, at 8.4 yards per catch.
Since he has been the Chiefs’ starting tight end, this is the first season where Kelce has not hit that mark, as Swift’s boyfriend usually averages between 12 and 13 yards per catch.
His drop-off was not a one season plummet, with last year’s yards-per-catch total falling at 10.6.
Kelce’s yards-per-catch total is not the only blatant decline for him this season, however, as he has also only recorded two touchdown receptions; a startling number for a man whose career high in a season is 12.
Nevertheless, if he returns to form against the Texans there is a chance the tight end could set a new franchise record with Swift potentially watching on.
Kelce will surpass Tony Gonzalez with the most touchdown receptions in Chiefs history if he records the 77th of his career this afternoon, having recently become the fastest NFL receiver to pass 12,000 career receiving yards – in 172 games.
And it is believed Swift will be watching on from the stands should that indeed play out against the Texans.
The pop megastar has attended six out of seven Chiefs home games this season, only missing their last outing against the LA Chargers due to her Eras Tour commitments.

Chiefs star was seen celebrating Swift’s birthday in stunning photos from her Eras Tour party
With her worldwide tour now over, she is free to head back to Arrowhead and support her man as he looks to make history.
Swift and Kelce were seen celebrating the songstress’ 35th birthday last week in stunning photos from her Eras Tour party.
Travis’ close friend Ross Travis – himself a former NFL player – uploaded the pictures to his Instagram with the caption: ‘Epic night for an Epic run!’
One of the images show Travis and Taylor looking suave while Ross Travis is singing into a microphone. He captioned the picture on his Instagram story: ‘Eras complete, congrats Tay!’
The other shows Taylor herself dancing with the microphone in her hand with Kelce stood close to her.
It comes amid fans sparking rumors of an engagement between Swift and Kelce with some eagle-eyed Swifties spotting a strange detail in some of the other pictures to emerge from the party.

In one snap where she poses with Brittany Mahomes – the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick – Swift appears to be covering her ring finger with her little finger.
Nevertheless, for now all eyes are on Arrowhead as Kelce and Kansas City look to make it 14 wins out of 15 this season.
The Chiefs have received a huge boost for Saturday’s with star man Mahomes fit and ready to start after overcoming an injury scare in the week.
Mahomes, who suffered a mild ankle sprain in last week’s win over the Cleveland Browns, was seen walking into Arrowhead without much of a limp while rocking a huge white puffer jacket and shades.
