“Only The Real Ones”: Travis Kelce Follows Sydney Sweeney’s Path With American Eagle Partnership

Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, recently collaborated with the American Eagle brand through his own brand, Tru Kolors, according to a recent post by Kiyan Anthony, son of former NBA player Carmelo Anthony. Kiyan shared several pictures of the ad shoot featuring several other athletes, including Kelce.

American Eagle seems to have learnt their lesson after their previous advertisement with actress Sydney Sweeney faced tremendous backlash. The ad with Sweeney highlighted her ‘jeans’, which was a wordplay on ‘genes’, which many felt was racially insensitive. In this new ad with Tru Kolors, American Eagle uses many different models of different ethnicities, which was definitely approved a lot more by the public.

“Sheeeesh @americaneagle x @trukolorsbrand by Travis Kelce out now #AEPartner”Kiyan Anthony captioned his Instagram post.

“Only the real ones! 🔥🔥🔥,” Travis Kelce commented on Kiyan Anthony’s post.

Travis Kelce is, of course, not only happy because of his collaboration with American Eagle, but his lifetime collaboration with his long-time girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Kelce and Swift got engaged a couple of weeks back and made the announcement on Instagram about a day back. Since then, this is all that the internet can talk about.

However, Kelce also has to keep his head screwed on straight for the upcoming NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs. As per rumors, Kelce might retire from the NFL after the 2025 campaign with the Chiefs. After losing the previous Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce will try to do his best to lift the Lombardi Trophy once more with his team.

Travis Kelce Asked Taylor Swift’s Father Before Proposing To Her

Meanwhile, Travis Kelce seems to be a traditionalist at heart, according to his father, Ed Kelce’s recent interview. Ed Kelce gave an interview sometime after his son’s engagement to Taylor Swift went public and the father-figure managed to spill plenty of tea on the matter.

Ed Kelce revealed that Travis Kelce has been wanting to propose to Taylor Swift for quite some time and even managed to ask her father, Scott Swift, for his permission about a month back. Swift was more than happy for this and asked him to simply move quickly.

Ed Kelce also admitted that the engagement had actually taken place a couple of weeks back and it was only now that the couple has made the news public. According to social media detectives, the engagement mostly took place right after Taylor Swift’s surprise appearance on the ‘New Heights’ podcast.
