Ross Travis recently made his presence known in the Travis Kelce circle when the couple flew to Australia on a private jet on Wednesday.
Travis posted a photo from the plane with the words “Down Under” written lightly across the window to his Instagram Story. The 31-year-old joins the Chiefs star as he attends Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in Sydney.
Before heading Down Under, Travis was part of the group that joined Kelce in Las Vegas earlier this week. The tight end returned to Sin City just over a week after winning the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium to participate in a charity golf tournament.
While in Sin City, Travis posted a video of the view from the Wynn Golf & Country Club where Kelce was playing. The group also dined at a restaurant called Toca Madera in Las Vegas.
Being good friends with Kelce, Travis is also no stranger to Swift.

The Penn State tight end went undrafted in 2015 before signing with Kansas City. Travis played the same position and built a good relationship with Kelce, who had been drafted two years earlier. After two seasons in Kansas City, Travis left and started bouncing around the NFL.
Travis played two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts before joining the New York Jets in 2019. He then served as a practice player for the Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions in 2021 before becoming a free agent.
His time as an active player was halted when he tore his ACL against the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018. Days later, he was placed on the Colts’ injury reserve. The following year things became a roller coaster for Travis as he resigned in February and was released in August only to be brought back in November.

Currently unsigned by any team, Travis regularly trains with Kelce and attends Chiefs games
A month later, he was fired by Indianapolis and began his stint as a practice player.
During his five seasons, Travis played in 29 games in the NFL. During those games, he recorded a total of 14 receptions for 142 yards.
Despite a brief stint as teammates, Kelce and Travis appear to have maintained their friendship. Since he is not signed to a team, Travis regularly attends Chiefs games and trains with Kelce.
As well as their shared love of football and supporting Swift abroad, the pair have also enjoyed traveling together and attending music festivals.
