Most notably, Kelce let his hair grow over the summer.
The NFL star was previously known for his meticulous high fade haircut, which resulted in barbers being inundated with requests for “The Travis Kelce.”
And the only reason he has longer hair is Swift, says teammate Patrick Mahomes.
“They have the old man (Kelce),” Mahomes told SiriusXM NFL Radio.

“I was trying to get him to grow his hair and suddenly Taylor makes him do it.”
This was a big change for Kelce, whose simple but iconic buzzcut was made famous by his barber Patrick “Patty Cuts” Regan.
The Florida-based barber told Good Morning America that the haircut consists of a three-blade shave on top and a bald patch on the sides.
“I think it just shows what a huge icon he is that a simple haircut can have a name like Travis Kelce’s,” he said.

“It’s pretty cool.”
Swift’s influence on Kelce is evident not only in his “super-beautiful hairstyle,” but also in the time, money and effort he has put into his wardrobe over the past few months.
A quick comparison of Kelce’s outfits before and after his relationship with Swift shows the evolution of his fashion sense.
New to Kelce’s wardrobe are designer cardigans.
Swift has a penchant for sweaters and even wrote the song Cardigan for her album “Folklore.”
He also wears a lot less jeans than in previous years.
Now the center of attention around the world, Kelce has proven to be an unexpected trendsetter thanks to his daring game-day outfit.
Kelce has flaunted his presence in ready-to-wear pieces from design houses such as Jil Sander, Marni, Amiri, Vetements and Christian Dior.
He has also collaborated with designers such as Sasha Elina, Anastasia Walker and Danielle Salzedo.

However, in an interview with WSJ Magazine, Kelce admitted Spend at least three hours choosing a game day outfit.
“I kind of just do it on instinct,” Kelce said.
“It’s really an exciting thing.
“I enjoy the creative process of panicking, of just throwing something together.”
Kelce said his interest in fashion was first sparked as a child in a suburb of Cleveland.
“For example, when I was playing sports as a kid, I always wanted to wear a headband and always have a certain pair of shoes,” he explained.
He takes criticism of his tantrums with caution.

“Of course, not every look is for everyone,” Kelce said.
“I’m not offended if someone says I look like a clown in a funny hat and crazy jeans.
“It is what it is. I’m going to have fun with it.”
He added: “Most of the time I do it to put a smile on someone’s face.”
Kelce now wants to capitalize on his newfound fame – and the interest in his models – with his luxury fashion line.
When Kelce launched the Tru Kolors brand in 2019, it was well received but attracted little attention from the general public.
Since he started dating Swift, the company has gained new momentum.
Kelce has even secured a joint capsule collaboration with the Chiefs.
“I just want everyone to feel comfortable with who they are,” he added.
“… and show their true faces while appreciating everyone’s faces.”
Kelce is part of the Tru Kolors team, examining fabric samples, color patterns, and even seams.
“The details matter,” Kelce said.
“I really enjoy creating, especially with the different types of fabrics and looks you can have.”
