Travis Kelce debuted a new look recently amid reports that he’s struggling with Taylor Swift’s strict rules now that she’s back to her Eras tour.
Barber Willis Orengo shared an image of Travis’ new buzzed look. Travis flaunted a big smile in the image, clearly happy with his new ‘do, as Willis posed alongside of him in addition to an excited caption.
Travis’ Haircut Has Been Made Fun Of Before
“Not 1️⃣ Not 2️⃣ but 3️⃣ Super Bowl Champion !!! When Travis is tired of his own haircut he gets the @jvalanciunas!!!” the barber wrote via Instagram “But all jokes aside I got the the big yeti clean.”
In the comments, Kelce responded in good fun to joke that Orengo had given him a “Jonas” haircut, a seeming reference to basketball player Jonas Valančiūnas. But the barber had a quick comeback, writing, “You not tired of the Travis Kelce fade.”
Travis has become known for his fade over the years, even before his high-profile relationship with Swift, leading him to be the subject of various memes and jokes. Travis acknowledged the attention around his hair during a press conference before this year’s Super Bowl, describing it as “absolutely ridiculous.”
“I got a good fade if you need it though. It’s a two on top and a nice high-to-mid fade with a taper in the back,” he said. “I didn’t invent that. I just asked for it.”
Taylor Allegedly Has Strict Rules For Travis

While many fans were quick to tell Travis how good his new ‘do looked in the comments section, one person who hasn’t voiced praises is his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
There have been rumors the couple are going through a hard time after reports said Travis doesn’t agree with all the expectations Taylor has or him. “Pals are saying now that Taylor and Travis are more than six months into their relationship, she feels comfortable setting certain rules for him to follow,” a source told Life & Style. “Fortunately, Travis is on board — with most of them, anyway.”
“Travis is fine with Taylor giving him her thoughts and opinions on how to navigate such a public relationship. He really does appreciate it,” they went on. “He’s not so happy with some of the restrictions she wants in place, though.”
One expectation Taylor allegedly has is that she doesn’t want Travis taking photos with other women for fear it’ll lead to speculative headlines and rumors. “[Travis] is fine not going to strip clubs anymore (that’s one of her hard rules), but Taylor also doesn’t want him posing for photographs with female fans, mostly to avoid inaccurate headlines,” insider said. “He had to roll his eyes at that one.”
They added, “But he has no interest in playing a calculated media game if it’s going to make him think twice about every move he makes. That’s not his style.”
Travis was recently in Australia to join Taylor for her Down Under performances (where her father allegedly assaulted a photographer), and reports say he also wants to come along to Europe. But only time will tell if Travis and Taylor’s relationship survives her expectations and hectic tour schedule.
