Travis Kelce became the center of attention on social media after he debuted a mullet, leading fans to draw humorous comparisons to Billy Ray Cyrus. The Kansas City Chiefs star’s new look caught everyone’s eye during his portrayal of nurse Ed Lachlan in FX’s series “Grotesquerie,” particularly after a standout scene in episode three.
Kelce even managed to slip in a nod to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, with a playful reference to her 2017 hit “Getaway Car,” adding an extra layer of fun for Swifties who tuned in.
The NFL icon joined an impressive ensemble cast for the show, which includes Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez. But it was his mullet that stole the spotlight when the official “Grotesquerie” Instagram account shared a photo of him rocking the new hairstyle.
“He killed me when he came out looking like Forrest Gump. we want nurse Ed back,” a fan wrote.
In the image, Kelce appears with a serious expression, dressed in a brown leather jacket, unbuttoned shirt and blue jeans.
Fans wasted no time taking to social media, poking fun at Kelce’s new look and playfully comparing him to Billy Ray Cyrus, known for his iconic mullet in the 1990s.
The reactions ranged from lighthearted teasing to enthusiastic amusement, as Swifties added their own spin to the fun. Kelce’s unexpected hairstyle and subtle Swift tribute have only increased the buzz around his appearances, keeping fans engaged and entertained.
