It’s a given fact that Travis Kelce is one of football’s biggest hunks, but his latest photoshoot has people slightly puzzled. The NFL star (and boyfriend to Taylor Swift) just did a cover story for GQ, and they have him looking like what the internet might call a “Florida Man.”
In one shot, he’s posing in the ocean in a high-vis vest. Another has him showing off his chest hair while wearing a leather jacket in the middle of a marsh. It’s an unusual creative direction, and the internet is divided on whether it’s a hit or a miss.
Travis Kelce brings the heat for his GQ interview
Throughout GQ’s interview with Travis, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end spoke about his NFL career, spending the summer in downstate Florida, and, of course, his relationship with pop music’s biggest star. However, most readers were more fixated on the pictures. Although Project Runway star Law Roach styled Travis, some fans felt conflicted about the looks.
One fan simply wrote, “This is a mess all over and not even the cool fun mess.”
Another added, “Kelce dressed like the QAnon shaman in the Everglades is … something.”
On the other hand, some fans praised Travis for taking such a bold approach to the cover story. It’s not every day that you see an NFL star leaning into such a non-traditional look.
“This photo shoot has everything. Snakes, alligators, a hairy yeti man, leather in the Everglades. Travis Kelce for GQ,” commented one fan.
A second fan wrote, “The pics are a little strange, but show he doesn’t take himself too seriously. Haters are gonna hate, but the guy is a legit baller and bagged T Swift. You don’t have to like him, but you gotta respect his game on and off the field.”
While the reaction to the pictures was mixed, one thing that fans could agree on was that the NFL star gave a wonderful interview. Whether you’re a sports person or just a fan of pop culture, it’s worth the read.
