Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce really knows how to make an entrance.
The veteran tight end turned heads with his arrival at Lumen Field for a Sunday Night Football showdown against the Seattle Seahawks. The team shared a video of Kelce wearing a fitted suit and carrying a bag, sharing a message about a day honoring his position.

The Chiefs shared the video close to two hours before kickoff against the Seahawks, noting the pseudo-holiday honoring Kelce and others at his position.
“Happy National Tight Ends Day, [Travis Kelce],” the team wrote in a post on X.
Fans shared love for Kelce, with some noting his fit appearance after 14 seasons in the NFL.
Kelce has the chance to make history in the game, entering Sunday’s contest just 35 yards shy of legendary tight end Tony Gonzalez.
The Chiefs tight end also has a chance to accomplish something he’s never done before in his career — win in Seattle. In this week’s episode of his “New Heights” podcast, Kelce discussed how difficult it is to win in Seattle..
“Seattle is a place, I don’t know if I’ve won in Seattle,” Kelce said in the episode. “It is a tough place to (expletive) play, man. You go up there to that Northwest with those 12s flying around, man.
“And especially this year’s team, they always have a good defense. This team… they got a little bit of bully ball mentality. It’s a tough team. They fly around, kind of in your face all the time, especially on the defensive side,” Kelce added.
“And we know how good Sam Darnold is and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. And I got nothing but a ton of respect for them. And obviously Cooper Kupp, our guy, friend of the show.”
Travis Kelce Likely Flying Solo on Sunday
While fans often keep an eye out for Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, to enter before Chiefs games, there likely won’t be anything for them to find on Sunday.
Swift has largely stopped attending road games, reportedly due to security concerns. She was a regular during the first season the pair were dating, but since then has appeared only at games played at Arrowhead Stadium — along with some neutral site games, including the team’s Super Bowl appearances.
