The joyful PDA between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at Sunday night’s AFC Championship game was enhanced by the sight of the pop star’s exquisite “TNT” friendship bracelet by onlookers.
The singer was wearing a personalized diamond friendship bracelet that retailed for $5,680 and was part of Wove’s Michelle Wie West collection. Photos showed Swift cuddling and kissing Kelce on the field at M&T Bank Stadium after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens featured the piece.
Fans speculate that Swift’s yellow gold bracelet, adorned with the letters “TNT,” is a play on words for Travis and Taylor.
“A closer look at Taylor’s friendship bracelet made of diamonds!” the jeweler wrote on Instagram following the game on January 28.
The friendship bracelet known as “TNT” recalls Travis and Taylor’s first meeting. The Chiefs tight end was there at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City for Swift’s Eras Tour stop in July.
Travis did not get to meet Swift at the event, but he did have plans to gift her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, as he recalled on his New Heights podcast.
At every tour stop, Swifties trade handmade jewelry with one other, taking inspiration from the line “So make the friendship bracelets/ Take the moment and taste it” from Midnight’s album track “You’re On Your Own, Kid.” Kelce attempted to capitalize on that tendency.
“I was a little butt hurt that I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Kelce said on his show, “but I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings.”
He joked to his brother Jason Kelce, his co-host, “She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personally.”
Swift was seen at her first Chiefs game in September, however there will be many more to come.
By October, pictures of the couple cuddling and sharing a cheek kiss started to circulate.
During a Buenos Aires concert in November, Swift sang a different version of the song “Karma” live: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.” After the performance, she raced into Kelce’s arms and kissed him.
Swift finally discussed their affair and gave more details about their relationship’s trajectory in December. “I thought this podcast was metal as hell, but Travis very sweetly put me on blast, and that’s how it all started. After that, we immediately got together,” she revealed for her TIME Person of the Year cover story. We had been a couple by the time I attended that first game. I believe there are many who believe they witnessed our first date at that game. We would never be sufficiently insane to start a first date with violence.
On February 7, Swift will return to Tokyo for her Eras Tour, and on February 11, Kelce and the Chiefs will play in the Super Bowl.
