Fans are still reeling over Jason Kelce's formal retirement announcement—a heartfelt speech that moved him and them to tears—when he confirmed on Monday, March 4, that he would not be returning to the Philadelphia Eagles come next season.
His family, including parents Ed and Donna, wife Kylie and brother Travis Kelce, were all present, and—beyond the latter's emotional reaction to his big bro's touching words—fans—particularly Swifties—couldn't contain themselves upon noticing that the tight end was wearing a pair of Taylor Swift-inspired friendship bracelets during the press conference.
One appeared to be dedicated to the "Mastermind" songstress herself, reading "T(heart shape)T," while the other appeared to say, in part, "Travis Kelce is a," leading fans desperate to uncover a photo of the rest.

"how does it end? Who made it? Who gave it to him? Did he make it? On purpose for this occasion specifically? So many questions," one fan questioned on Twitter.
I don't have the emotional bandwidth for this," someone else replied, while another agreed, "thanks im gonna cry some more."
"No one has embraced us the way this man has," another declared.
Travis, of course, picked up on the Eras Tour bracelet craze inspired by Swift's Midnights track "You're On Your Own Kid," beading his phone number into a bracelet in an attempt to get it to the superstar during her Kansas City concert. He later gifted Swift a "TNT" ("Taylor'N'Travis) friendship-style bracelet, so it's no surprise to see the sweet gesture blending into other parts of his life.
