Travis Kelce's 'Super' Halloween Costume Made Fans Fall in Love With Him Years Ago
Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift supporters may have started the running joke that the pop star put Travis Kelce "on the map," but a resurfaced photo from Halloween proves that football fans fell in love with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end long ago—and for good reason.
In a years-old picture collage shared via Instagram on Oct. 27, 2015, the pro athlete can be seen dressed up as a superhero while visiting hospitalized children. Kelce brought smiles as he gifted kids with stuffed Shadow Buddies dolls, costumed in a red eye mask and cape along with white football gloves, Kansas City Chiefs printed shorts, a dark grey Nike athletic shirt and a snapback fitted cap representing the Midwestern city.
"Had an amazing experience visiting the kids at @kumedcenter pediatric unit. Teaming up with @shadowbuddies to enjoy some Halloween trick-or-treating! #SuperShadowBuddy," the upload was captioned.
Though now eight years old, the comment section of the wholesome content proved that the two-time Super Bowl champ made his way into fans' hearts long before his romance with the "Cruel Summer" singer.
"The absolute best pic out of all of em! ?? #Manofmydreamsmaterial," one said at the time, while another followed up with, "thought the video where you danced to quan was when I fell in love with you....but then I saw this. The sweetest!!!"
"You are my new favorite baller. ??," a third confirmed, while an additional social media user commended the act, writing, "Great guy being a great sport. Nice work."
Someone else gushed, "Omg you're the best!!! I knew I loved you for a reason besides how dashing you are on and off that field. UGH."
One even shared their own personal experience with a Travis encounter from the day: "My daughter was inpatient when you did this. You made her day....and mine!! ?? she loves her shadow buddy!"
So, from the looks of it, the Catching Kelce alum cemented his status as a heartthrob long ago, and in this case, for all the right reasons.
