An artist has brought to life the relationship of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in a quirky manner—on wrapping paper.
Brittany Paige has immortalized the hot celebrity couple on an illustrated greeting card and matching gift wrap, just weeks after the pair went public with their romance.
"The way this relationship has a chokehold for me and has set the standard of my dating life," Paige wrote on Instagram when launching the wrapping paper.
Laid on a pink background, the paper shows Swift and Kelce smiling inside a love heart. Kelce is wearing his Kansas City Chiefs shirt and Swift is in a white tank top and red jacket, which she has been seen wearing while supporting her man as he plays tight end for the NFL outfit.
The gift card has the same image and text which reads "loving you is red," referring to the name of Swift's 2012 song and the color of the Chiefs' uniform.
Paige explained to Newsweek why she was so transfixed by the couple.
"As a Swiftie [Taylor Swift fan] and perpetual single girl, I have been living for Taylor and Travis' relationship. I love how Taylor is so fearless in love – she keeps going despite all the challenges and heartbreak," she said.
"It's been inspiring to finally see her with a partner who champions her work as an artist and businesswoman. I think it's important to have a masculine man like Travis Kelce, who is so clearly not intimidated by being with a successful woman, in the spotlight."
Despite the collection being released weeks ago, a Reddit user discovered it this week and shared it online, where it subsequently went viral.
"I've said it before: they are so cute together," wrote one person.
Another added: "This is so over the top. Omg. And poor Travis. That doesn't look anything like him. It looks like a stereotype and not a good one."
And a third wrote: "I love them both. But this is over the top ridiculous."
The singer and football player's relationship has not only influenced artists such as Paige but also had a positive outcome on families.
Dads took to X, formerly Twitter, praising the "Bad Blood" singer for helping them to bond with their daughters, by bringing together their previously separate interests.
One father said: "Say whatever you want about Taylor Swift & the NFL. My 12-year-old daughter just asked me to point out Jason Kelce & it spurred an entire conversation about why lineman have the numbers they do. I love her beyond words, but the kid never cares about football. That was cool."
Swift and Kelce went public with their relationship in September when she attended a Chiefs game at the Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri after first connecting months before.
Swift explained why she loves going to the games and Kelce traveled to Argentina to watch her perform on her Eras tour in Buenos Aires.
"When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time in December. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone. And we're just proud of each other."
