Travis Kelce Switched Up His Hair for Recent Red Carpet Appearance with Brother Jason

I'm digging the new hair

NFL tight end Travis Kelce has nailed the art of rocking a cropped skin fade—a go-to haircut that led to a surge in requests for "Travis Kelce hair" at countless barbers. But as much as I do enjoy seeing this signature look, I was pleasantly surprised to see the pro athlete debut a new 'do on the red carpet.

In case you missed it, Kelce joined his brother and New Heights co-host, Jason Kelce, at the Amazon MGM Studios 2025 Upfront at Beacon Theatre in New York, and the siblings looked quite dapper. Jason donned a pinstriped suit with a newsboy cap while Travis wore a gray suit with a graphic tee—but it was his slicked-back hair that stole the show.

The sleek new hairstyle added sophistication to his polished look, and while it's a big change from his usual styles—ranging from buzzcuts to the popular fade—it totally suits him.

The Grotesquerie star's recent red carpet appearance comes shortly after he was spotted with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, in Philadelphia for a special Mother's Day outing with his mom, Donna Kelce. Several photos surfaced of the trio enjoying a meal at Talula’s Garden restaurant, alongside Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce. (Some TikTok fans claimed that Taylor’s mom, Andrea Swift, joined as well.)

The couple is taking a break from the spotlight days, and one source tells People that they've been making the most of their private time. The insider told the publication, "They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoy it. They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It's a special time for them."

The source added, "They're very serious and in sync. They value the same things. Right now, the focus is very much on private time out of the spotlight."

Considering Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour and Kelce's efforts on the football field, it's safe to say these two have earned their break.

In the meantime, I'll be counting down the days until I get to see Travis (and his slicked-back hair) in Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2.
