When Taylor Swift sang, "So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it," no one took her more seriously than Travis Kelce.
The Chiefs player was spotted in Miami on Sunday, May 5, for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and while making his way through the crowd at the track, someone stopped him to offer him a sweet gift.
In a video clip uploaded to Instagram by ESPN, Kelce, who wore a casual Kelly green coordinated button-down patterned t-shirt with matching shorts with a black baseball cap and a pair of shades, greeted some of the folks lingering around him as he, presumably, headed toward his seat.
A woman, possibly the mother of a young fan, tapped him on the arm to capture his attention as he walked past, explaining, "Here's some friendship bracelets for you and your mom."
"Oh, you're too kind, thank you very much," the 34-year-old replied as he accepted the gift, looking down to read them as he kept moving. Someone walking alongside him blocked the person from sight, but he added, "I wish I had one to give him back," before the video ended.
As the sports network's caption read, "Travis Kelce always makes time for friendship bracelets."
The tight end almost became synonymous with them after he wove his phone number into a beaded bracelet to slip to the Eras Tour artist while she was performing in Kansas City, going viral after he detailed his failure to get it to her.
But he still managed to connect with her, and ever since the two went public with their relationship, he's made fans swoon by integrating himself into her fandom, rocking arms full of bracelets at each Eras show he attends. He was even spotted wearing one as he supported his brother, Jason Kelce, as the Eagles legend announced his retirement from the NFL and commissioned a friendship-bracelet-inspired diamond tennis bracelet for the "You're On Your Own Kid" songstress, who singlehandedly renewed the friendship bracelet economy with the Midnights track.
