Taylor Swift Fans Spot Easter Egg in Travis Kelce's Pre-Game Outfit

Taylor Swift fans are notorious for finding Easter eggs anywhere in her proximity, and her proximity now includes her boyfriend Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

On Sunday, when Kelce showed up to the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills wearing a similar flannel jacket to the one worn by Swift on the cover of her 2020 album Evermore just one day before its three-year release anniversary, Swift's fans on social media were quick to point it out.

On her Evermore album cover, Swift stands with her back to the camera on what appears to be a gloomy fall day wearing a flannel coat. After her album was released, the Stella McCartney jacket, which cost $2,875 at the time, sold out within hours.

"travis kelce is an evermore stan confirmed," X, formerly Twitter, user daylightxswift wrote.

"so nice of him to acknowledge evermores birthday," commented user maroonskyinnyc.

"His fit is so Evermore coded I'm obsessed," user lavenderkelce wrote.

"travis kelce an evermore girlie confirmed!!!" user evermoregcv posted.

Kelce also appeared to show up for Sunday's game in the convertible that he and Swift used to leave the stadium the first time she arrived at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him play. The car appears to be a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS.

"That thing sounds so mean coming around the corner and it looks sweet," Kelce said of the convertible on a recent episode of his podcast New Heights.

Swift was recently named Time's Person of the Year. In the outlet's feature story, she commented on NFL fans who are growing weary of the constant coverage of her appearances at the games.

"I'm just there to support Travis," Swift said. "I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads."

By this point, Chiefs fans seem used to her presence. Prior to the game, one fan was spotted raising a flagpole out of his tailgating truck that featured three flags: One with the Kansas City logo, one with "World Champs" emblazoned in white letters, and one featuring a collage of photos of Swift at the bottom.

Swift is expected to be at Sunday's game as Kelce and the Chiefs take on the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs have lost three of their last five games, dropping contests against the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles and last week's game against the Green Bay Packers.

The Chiefs lead the AFC West and trailed the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins by a game in the overall AFC standings entering Sunday's action.
