Travis Kelce's furry physique has sparked a viral frenzy across the internet. The Kansas City Chiefs' tight end, who is currently in a relationship with Taylor Swift, made a post-workout appearance in Florida on May 20th, after an offseason session. Deciding to shed his T-shirt and dry himself with a towel, Kelce unwittingly became the center of a social media storm as he flashed his chest and back adorned with a natural mane.
The shirtless sighting swiftly ignited a cascade of reactions on social media platforms. One Instagram user gushed, "I sincerely adore a man with body hair. It's scorching hot! And the fact that he doesn't conform to societal norms by overly grooming his natural attributes makes him even more alluring." Another observer, taken aback by Kelce's unshaven appearance, penned on X (formerly Twitter), "I'm feeling something I'm not supposed to feel, but I can't deny its allure."
However, not all netizens were as enchanted by the 35-year-old's hirsute display. One X user even posted a GIF from the 2004 comedy 'Mean Girls,' featuring Rachel McAdams' character, Regina George, delivering the iconic line, "You can go shave your back now," in a playful dig at Kelce's furry features.
During a recent episode of his 'New Heights' podcast on May 21st, Kelce himself poked fun at his body hair while chatting with his brother, Jason Kelce, about the Chiefs' upcoming season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil this September. While expressing his excitement for the trip, he admitted that the sweltering heat might pose a challenge, referring to himself as a "furry son of a gun."
"Me and heat just don't mix well," he explained. "So if it seemed like I wasn't thrilled about this, I apologize. I am still excited; I'll just be making some wardrobe adjustments throughout the game."
Fortunately, Jason, 37, reassured his brother that the tropical climate of São Paulo during late summer shouldn't be a concern. "Apparently, September in São Paulo isn't that hot," he said, "so we don't have to worry about that."
