Travis Kelce’s Cannes Friendship Bracelet Nods to Taylor Swift (Exclusive) ArticlePure

Travis Kelce is showing his support for his girlfriend, Taylor Swift — thanks to a fan!

The 34-year-old NFL star attended the Cannes Lions Festival in France on Thursday, June 20, on behalf of his podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce. His brother and cohost, Jason Kelce, was also in attendance alongside Jason’s wife, Kylie. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Travis sporting a couple of friendship bracelets — a totem of Swift’s fanbase — while strolling around the festival.

One of the beaded bracelets spelled out “Cannes” while the other spelled out “Fearless,” the title of Swift’s sophomore album. The “Cannes” bracelet was made for him by a fan who gave it to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end after the panel that he and Jason, 36, participated in.

In addition to featuring his initials and his team colors of red and gold, the jewelry had a special nod to Swift — her initials “T” and “S” side by side.

The fan, 20-year-old Cameron Koporc, tells PEOPLE that it was such a fun experience making the whole moment come together.

“After enjoying him and his brother’s panel at Sport Beach, I was able to pass along the bracelet to Jason, who then passed it along to Travis!” Koporc, who attended the festival as part of a study-abroad program, says. “He was so sweet about it and it was so crazy to see him wear it!”

“I’m a huge Swiftie and therefore in recent months have become a fan of the entire Kelce family as well,” Koporc adds. She also showed off the moment on her Instagram Stories, sharing a look at how the fun moment of passing along the bracelet after the panel came to be.

Koporc made the bracelet through BONBONWHIMS‘ Charm Bar at Pinterest Manifestival, which allowed visitors to craft their own jewelry creations. BONBONWHIMS sells similar styles for $88 (though they won’t come with your fave pop star’s initials).

At the festival, Travis embraced summery attire in a knit button-up with baby blue stripes, white sneakers and cream-colored shorts. He also wore a matching blue baseball cap.

His brother Jason, who announced his NFL retirement earlier this year, sported his signature flip-flops while his wife Kylie, 32, wore a blue button-up dress and brown sandals during the outing.

Travis has become known for wearing friendship bracelets made for him by fans. In a video shared by ESPN on Instagram, the NFL star is seen accepting a bracelet from a young fan at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami on Sunday, May 5.

“You’re too kind, thank you very much,” he told them, adding: “I wish I had one to give him back.”
