At the luxurious Wynn Golf Club, where music legend Justin Timberlake hosted the star-studded 8AM Invitational, a heartwarming and hilarious moment stole the spotlight. NFL star Travis Kelce, joined by his brother and former NFL center Jason Kelce, delighted fans during a post-match interview — not just with his bold golf outfit, but with a surprise mention of girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Dressed in a salmon-hued button-down Hawaiian shirt (sleeves cut off for flair), crisp white pants, and standout Nike golf shoes, Travis Kelce showed up in true personality-packed style. “Polos are just so predictable,” he joked, adding, “I wanted to step it up a bit. Full button-down. Cut-off sleeves. White linen. Let’s go!”
As Travis and Jason spoke to media after finishing their round — having wowed the crowd with both their swing and charm — Travis’s candid energy quickly became the highlight. “I never thought I’d have so much fun playing golf,” he beamed. “Mostly because I got to play with my brother… but honestly? I think Taylor would be so proud of my swing today.”
The crowd erupted with cheers at the unexpected mention of the global pop superstar. Jason laughed, nudging Travis: “Oh, he finally mentioned her!” Travis grinned. “She’s taught me how to stay calm under pressure. Maybe not golf technique,” he said, chuckling, “but mentality? She’s got that locked in.”
According to sources, Taylor FaceTimed Travis earlier that morning to wish him luck before tee-off. Though she wasn’t in Las Vegas due to preparations for the European leg of her Eras Tour, fans could feel her presence through Travis’s warm words.
Jason later reflected on the moment with brotherly pride: “I see my brother happy, and that’s the best thing I could ever wish for. He kept saying, ‘If you see me calm on the green today, it’s because of Taylor.’ So when he brought her up in the interview, I wasn’t surprised at all.”
Fans quickly took to social media, sharing clips of the interview captioned: “Travis Kelce mentions Taylor in the sweetest way during Timberlake’s golf event.”
Even in her absence, Taylor Swift’s influence was unmistakable — and Travis Kelce made sure the world knew just how much she means to him.
