Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift mania ramped up a notch on Christmas Day as fans clamored to buy one-off memorabilia inspired by the couple’s whirlwind romance.
Just in time for fans to spend their Christmas money, two Chiefs jerseys complete with Kelce’s 87 and his signature were listed on the Metabilia website.
But they weren’t just standard Kelce jerseys, instead emblazoned with ‘Traylor’ and ‘Swelce’ – a blend of the superstar duo’s names.
Fans rushed to the site to put in their bids, with huge bids placed on both items – as well as plenty of other Kelce merchandise.
As of 10am ET on Christmas Day, the ‘Swelce’ jersey had a bid of $2,015, which the Traylor item was selling for $1,300 – significantly more than a standard signed Kelce jersey which was up for $205.

Also listed on the auction site is a signed Kelce Chiefs helmet, a signed Super Bowl LVII ball, and various different color jerseys – some as cheap as $145 at the time of writing.
It is understood pop superstar Swift will fly to Kansas City today to watch her man play against the Las Vegas Raiders, before they spend Christmas Day night together, and the next few days heading toward New Year’s Eve.
The Chiefs are playing again at Arrowhead on December 31, with Kelce and Co facing off against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The team will hope to have sealed a playoff spot by then, though, with a win over the Raiders on Christmas Day guaranteeing them another division title in the AFC West.
On a personal level for Kelce, it could really be a day to remember for the Chiefs hero as he closes in on another record for the season.
The 34-year-old is just 76 yards short of earning yet another 1,000 yard season.

And if he pulls it off, he’ll extend his record of having the most 1000+ yard seasons among tight ends with eight – doubling his advantage over the next-closest players.
That would also move him to a tie for eighth all-time among all pass catchers in NFL history.
Kelce already passed 11,000 yards receiving in a career earlier this season – sitting at 11,268 total which puts him 38th all time and fourth among active players.
All this comes despite Kelce missing the first game of the season due to an injury.
