As the Kansas City Chiefs begin their quest for a third consecutive Super Bowl victory, Travis Kelce represents this year’s fresh start with a new look.
Instead of his typical buzzcut in training camp, he sported a growing head of hair and a thick mustache. However, the tight end is not the only one who has decided to change his appearance.
Who knows how much convincing it took, but Kelce’s world-famous girlfriend Taylor Swift may have had something to do with it.
Here’s everything you need to know about Kelce’s long hair, including Patrick Mahomes’ claim that Swift convinced her boyfriend to grow his hair longer.

“She has watched me cut my hair several times and always compliments her afterwards,” Regan said.
