El Travador is back.

Travis Kelce recently stepped out rocking a mustache for the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp this week, marking the same facial hair look he had when he first began dating Taylor Swift last summer. “The return of El Travador,” the NFL team captioned a video of the tight end, who’s seen walking in his 87 jersey, Nike Jordan 1 football cleats and the new facial hair look.

“I’ll tell you what that ‘stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a bit. “I had it when I met Taylor for the first time,” Kelce previously shared during a press conference in October 2023.

The New Heights host has been to more than a dozen Eras Tour concerts since he first came to one of her Kansas City shows last summer. Prior to Swift’s stops in Germany, he attended her concert in Amsterdam with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, as well as made a surprise onstage cameo in London.

The athlete made his Eras Tour stage debut at the start of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” The Kansas City Chiefs tight end carried an exhausted Swift to the couch on set in the over-the-top final act of her Tortured Poets extravaganza.
