🔥 Travis Kelce’s New Haircut and Noticeable Weight Gain at the 2025 AMAs Is Turning Heads — See 10 Must-See Photos

Los Angeles, CA — May 27, 2025

NFL star Travis Kelce traded his cleats for red carpet flair last night at the 2025 American Music Awards, but it wasn’t just his outfit that had people talking.

Fans and fashion critics alike were stunned by Kelce’s dramatic new look, featuring a buzzed haircut, fuller face, and what many are calling a “noticeable weight gain.” The Kansas City Chiefs tight end — and boyfriend to global pop sensation Taylor Swift — made a bold appearance that left everyone asking: Is this the offseason glow-up… or something more?

> “That’s not just a haircut — that’s a whole new Travis,” joked one fan on X.

The Haircut Heard Around the World

Gone is the sleek fade and manicured beard combo that became his signature during the 2023–2024 Super Bowl run. Instead, Kelce showed off a military-style buzz cut and a clean-shaven face that had some fans doing double takes.

> “He looks like he just left Navy boot camp — and I’m not mad about it,” said one red carpet reporter.

Styling aside, the real buzz (pun intended) came from his bulked-up appearance, with Kelce looking visibly thicker around the neck and shoulders — and wearing a fitted silk suit that struggled to contain the biceps.

Fans React: “Tight End? More Like Wide Receiver!”

As photos flooded the internet, fans wasted no time lighting up social media:

💬 “Travis Kelce out here looking like he ate the offseason.”
💬 “Is that Dad Bod Deluxe or are we just blessed?”
💬 “Taylor’s feeding him well, clearly.”

Is Love the Reason?

Some speculate the transformation may be due to “retirement softening” — or perhaps happiness in his high-profile romance with Swift. The two were seen holding hands throughout the evening, exchanging whispers and smiles, with Taylor occasionally fixing his collar or smoothing his sleeves.

> “He looks happy, and that’s all that matters,” one Swiftie posted with a side-by-side comparison of 2023 vs. 2025 Kelce.
