Travis Kelce is a true Swiftie.
The hunky NFL star, 34, wore several Taylor-Swift inspired friendship bracelets to brother Jason Kelce’s retirement press conference on Monday — including one with a sweet nod to his leading lady.
Eagle-eyed fans on Twitter were quick to point out that Travis appeared to be keeping his love close by wearing a bracelet that spelled out “T ❤️ T” during the emotional event.
The sentimental piece was made up of small brown, black and gold beads — a stark contrast to the $6,000 “TNT” diamond friendship bracelet he bought Swift last year.

Jason, for his part, started sobbing the second he sat down at the podium.
The longtime Philadelphia Eagles center reflected on his championship-winning career, his love for Philadelphia and the impact Travis had on his career during the tear-jerking address.
“It was really my brother and I our whole lives,” Jason said. “We did almost everything together — competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other.”
Kelce previously gifted Swift a diamond-encrusted “TNT” bracelet. AP The sentimental piece cost the athlete more than $6,000.

We won countless Super Bowls in our minds before ever leaving the house. And when we weren’t playing we were at the other one’s games.”
Jason, who played 13 years in the NFL, was immediately embraced by his younger brother the second he got off stage.

Although Jason was gifted the pricey piece from his former team, it’s unclear where Travis got his bracelets from — or if he made them himself since that’s how he landed Swift in the first place.
He also could have received the personalized jewelry from some Swifties while in Sydney last month for one of the “Cruel Summer” singer’s Eras tour concerts.
The three-time Super Bowl champion was spotted rocking a wrist full of friendship bracelets after trading the dozens with fans during the show.
