Fans brutally mock Travis Kelce’s ‘terrible’ new haircut for Chiefs’ season opener: ‘Barber did him dirty’
Travis Kelce is entering the 2024 NFL season with a striking new haircut. Fans have been vocal about his controversial look.
Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs kick off the new season Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens in Arrowhead, with Andy Reid’s team aiming for a historic three-peat after winning their second straight Super Bowl last season.
It promises to be a dramatic evening in Kansas City, where Taylor Swift is on hand to watch her husband Travis in action.
And before kickoff, fans were stunned when Kelce emerged from the tunnel with a new fringe haircut.

As the legendary tight end warmed up on the field, users on X mocked him for his “terrible” new style, leading to comparisons to Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis.
One wrote: ‘Travis Kelce went to the barber and said, “F**k my shit up, bro.”‘
Another posted about Kelce’s new cut: “Can’t control my laughter.”
A third referred to the Raiders boss, saying, “Travis Kelce here with the Mark Davis cut.”
“A brutal haircut for Travis Kelce at the start of the season,” a fourth said.
“This haircut is absolutely horrible,” said another, before adding, “but I mean, he has Taylor and we don’t, so that’s a bonus.”
A fifth said: ‘We’re not sure who’s going to win tonight’s game. But we do know Travis Kelce’s haircut is gone.’
“From the Super Bowl to the bowl cut,” joked another.
While one simply concluded: ‘The barber treated him dirty’.

Kelce was attacked on X Thursday night with some fierce messages about his new haircut
Teammate Patrick Mahomes recently claimed that Kelce’s new style is thanks to girlfriend Taylor Swift, who was pictured arriving at the game Thursday night
Kelce — whose representatives were forced to deny this week that he and Swift were parting ways after a fake “contract” surfaced on social media — will begin his 12th season with the Chiefs in 2024.
Patrick Mahomes is 34 years old and thinks his teammate is now influenced by his girlfriend when it comes to style.
Mahomes said of Kelce in a recent interview with NFL Radio, “You got the old man (Kelce). I tried to let him grow his hair out and all of a sudden Taylor lets him do it.”
Swift attended all four of Kansas City’s playoff victories in different cities last season, wearing a number 87 bomber jacket designed by NFL player Kristin Juszczyk during the Wild Card game against the Miami Dolphins.
The pop star was spotted at Arrowhead on Thursday night in a stunning denim outfit, before taking a seat in the Kelces’ private suite next to Travis’ father Ed.
