Travis Kelce defends pants fans compared to Taylor Swift’s curtains: ‘They’re comfy’

He’s covering his tight end.

Travis Kelce has responded to Swifties comparing brown pants he recently wore to curtains girlfriend Taylor Swift posed in front of during her “Midnights” album promotion.

Replying to sports commentator Charissa Thompson’s comment on his Instagram post asking if his pants were velvet, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said, “No idea but they’re as comfy as they look!!”

Kelce, 34, wore the loose-fitting pants paired with a lightweight white button-down ahead of his game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

He may have even made a reference to Swift in the caption of his post, writing, “keep it chill like Sauvignon Blanc.”

Per usual, Swifties immediately took to the comment section of the post to cheer Kelce on — and take note of the velvety trousers.

Hundreds of fans agreed that the pants resembled the curtains used in the background of Swift’s TikTok series from last fall that revealed the track list for her 2022 album “Midnights” — and that she enjoys white wines like Sauvignon Blanc.

“Why is he wearing mother’s curtains 😭,” one fan commented, referring to the Grammy winner as “mother.”

“not him wearing taylor swift’s curtains from midnights mayhem 😭,” another seemingly emotional fan added.

“It’s the Midnights pants for me,” a third user commented.

Dozens of others made sure to let Kelce know that they’re hoping he and Swift, 33, work out, with several saying she deserves a “real man” like him.

“That’s great bc mother loves white wine,” one person wrote.

Sports broadcaster Charissa Thompson commented under Kelce’s Instagram post that showed off the pants to ask if they are velvet.
He said he had no idea, but described them as “comfy as they look.”

This isn’t the first time the NFL pro seemingly matched the pop superstar’s albums.

In their first public outing, Kelce wore a blue and white denim outfit that included a nod to her “1989” album in the style name after the Chiefs vs. Bears game in Kansas City on Sept. 24.

Swift’s loyal fans have been flocking to Kelce’s social media accounts since the two confirmed their relationship and were spotted looking “very affectionate” at a private after party.

Kelce has worn outfits that remind fans of Swift before.

They were then pleased to see the “Anti-Hero” songstress arrive at the Chiefs’ game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey the following week — with her squad of celebrities including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter and more — and drove sales of his jersey up 400 percent.

Of course, Kelce was just as happy to see Swift in the VIP box with his family and friends.

“That was pretty ballsy [of her to show up],” Travis told his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, on their podcast the following the Chiefs vs. Bears game. “I just thought it was awesome how everyone in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her — the friends and family.”

Since then, several insiders have confirmed that although still new, Swift and Kelce seem to be excited about their connection.

“Taylor’s really enjoying getting to know Travis,” a person divulged to Us Weekly last week. “They’re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes.”

Another individual went on to describe the pro athlete as “smitten” over Swift. A source close to Kelce also revealed that Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, thinks Swift is “very sweet and down to earth.”

Moreover, an insider claimed Kelce refers to Swift as his “good luck charm.”

Perhaps she’s also his personal shopper as well.
