Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce made a bold fashion statement at the team’s recent game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The tight end was spotted wearing a shirt from a popular Vegas strip club, causing quite a stir among fans and media alike.
Kelce, known for his flashy style both on and off the field, arrived at Allegiant Stadium in a black t-shirt with the words “Sapphire Las Vegas” emblazoned across the front. The shirt is a nod to the famous gentlemen’s club located on the Vegas strip, known for its lavish parties and celebrity clientele.
But what really caught everyone’s attention was the back of the shirt, which featured a photo of pop superstar Taylor Swift. The image was taken from Swift’s “Reputation” album cover, where she is seen sitting on a throne surrounded by snakes.
Many were quick to speculate on the meaning behind Kelce’s choice of attire. Some believed it was a subtle jab at the Raiders, as Swift’s album was released in 2017, the same year the team announced their move from Oakland to Las Vegas. Others saw it as a playful nod to the ongoing rivalry between Kelce and Raiders’ tight end Darren Waller.
Kelce himself remained tight-lipped about the shirt, simply stating that he thought it was a cool design and wanted to support the club. He also added that he is a big fan of Taylor Swift and her music.
This is not the first time Kelce has made a fashion statement at a game. In the past, he has been seen wearing a “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” themed shirt and a “Saved by the Bell” inspired outfit. He is known for his bold and unique fashion choices, often incorporating pop culture references into his wardrobe.
As for the reaction from fans and media, it was a mix of shock and amusement. Some praised Kelce for his boldness and sense of humor, while others criticized him for promoting a strip club and using Taylor Swift’s image without her permission.
The strip club, Sapphire Las Vegas, also weighed in on the situation, thanking Kelce for his support and offering him a VIP experience at their club. They also clarified that they had no involvement in the creation of the shirt and were surprised to see it being worn at a football game.
Despite the controversy, Kelce’s team, the Chiefs, went on to defeat the Raiders with a final score of 35-28. And while the game was the main focus, Kelce’s fashion choice definitely added some extra entertainment for fans.
Only time will tell what bold fashion statement Kelce will make next, but one thing is for sure, he will continue to turn heads both on and off the field.
