Trayvis never goes out of style. Travis Kelce sported a reminder of girlfriend Taylor Swift to big brother Jason Kelce’s emotional retirement announcement Monday after 13 seasons playing for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s friendship bracelet — which bore two T’s with a heart between them — could be seen when he wiped away tears as the center, 36, revealed he’d be hanging up his jersey, Entertainment Tonight reports.

Friendship bracelets have been a key trend for attendees of Swift’s historic Eras Tour, with many concertgoers making and trading them in a nod to lyrics from her song, “You’re On Your Own, Kid,” off 2022’s “Midnights.”

Kelce’s feelings for the Grammy winner, also 34, made headlines last year when he told Jason — on their “New Heights” podcast — that, after a show he’d attended, he “was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” which had his number on it.

This weekend, as Swift kicked off her first of six shows n Singapore this weekend — the tour’s only stop in Southeast Asia — an insider told Us Weekly that she’s “already written songs about Travis” but “likely won’t share them with anyone.”

“She’s written at least two songs. They have to do with their love story and falling in love with him,” the source said of the “very special” tunes.

“Songs are like poetry to her. Just like most people journal, Taylor writes lyrics.”

Last month, in between the Japanese and Australian legs of her historic Eras Tour, 34-year-old Swift left a blank space in her schedule to head to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl, where the Chiefs beat the Francisco 49ers. The lovers’ celebrations on and off the field dominated headlines, with the Grammy winner finally hard-launching the relationship on social media — in a video of her clubbing with her beau and her folks, Scott and Andrea Swift.

Shortly thereafter, Kelce too chose love over sleep when he jetted Down Under to support Swift at one of her Sydney shows.

When he returned to Sin City to continue celebrating the Super Bowl win, Kelce was filmed singing Swift’s “Love Story” at the Wynn Las Vegas’ XS nightclub. The couple had been filmed dancing and kissing to a remix of the song in the hours after the Super Bowl.
