Kelce’s mustache, dubbed “KILLA STACHE,” generated mixed reactions with thousands of likes and comments from fans, with some praising his new style while others criticized it.

Another video post labeled “The return of El Travador” also went viral, with fans divided on Kelce’s unconventional look.

Despite Kelce’s popularity, fans expressed strong opinions about his mustache on social media. Some fans suggested he should shave it off, while others compared him to famous personalities with similar facial hair. The criticism ranged from his appearance to his association with Taylor Swift.

Among the negative comments, some fans on Instagram were particularly harsh, targeting Kelce’s physical looks and personal life.

Despite the backlash, some admirers supported Kelce’s new look, showing a divide in fan reactions.

Travis Kelce is known for setting his own trends, and one of his distinctive choices is the bold mustache he flaunts at the start of each football season. In an episode of the “New Heights” podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis shared that he opts for the mustache during training camp when he doesn’t have contractual obligations requiring a more conventional appearance. It seems like a practical decision for him!

As Kelce’s career and personal life evolve, the opinion that holds more significance to him regarding his seasonal mustache is possibly that of Taylor Swift. While there’s no direct statement from Swift on the matter, Kelce expressed optimism about her liking it back in 2023 before their relationship became public. “We’re not gonna bring up Taylor Swift in this episode, but something tells me she’s gonna like it,” Travis remarked to Jason during their podcast. Until Swift herself weighs in, the speculation continues!
