Travis Kelce is typically one of the best dressed players on game day. However, on Sunday, January 7, Kelce chose a surprisingly casual look as he headed into the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.
For those who may've missed it, the tight end for the Kansas City-based football team arrived at SoFi Stadium in an all-black loungewear look, which he paired with sunglasses and white and black sneakers.
Kelce, 34, also noticeably had his hood up as he made his way into the pre-game preparations—clearly trying to keep a low profile. Kelce's ensemble and quiet demeanor likely had something to do with the fact that he was benched heading into Sunday's game in order to rest for the upcoming postseason.
Not to mention, Kelce's girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift was absent from Sunday's game, as her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, was nominated for a Golden Globe. (For those who may not know, the 2024 Golden Globes ceremony was also scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 7.)
So, it didn't take long for fans to playfully poke fun at Kelce's mellow game day ensemble. One fan chimed in on X (formerly Twitter), "when you know you’ll be sitting on bench the whole game and your girlfriend will be at golden globes alone."

Another fan weighed in, "so he’s litterally [sic] there for ZERO point? (TRAVIS ESCAPE THERES STILL TIME YOU CAN MAKE IT TO THE GOLDEN GLOBES)."
A third wrote, "Someone smuggle him out (maybe in a cleaner cart) and get him into a suit!"
While it's believed that Kelce won't join Swift at the 81st Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which is taking place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., the highly-publicized couple has made a point of supporting each other's careers.
As Swift detailed in her TIME cover story, “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care."
She continued at the time, “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
