When the Kansas City Chiefs were in training camp, Gracie Hunt visited the team and uploaded a carousel of snaps to Instagram on Aug. 11, 2023. The lead image was a pic of her and Travis Kelce posing together. Some fans believed this was a hint at a possible connection between the pair. "A lot of people are hoping for Travis and Gracie to get together," one Instagram follower wrote.
The romance rumor mill hit full swing a few days later when a Chiefs fan account posted the photo to X, formerly known as Twitter, with a salacious caption. "Taylor Swift is jealous AF of Gracie Hunt posing in a photo with Travis Kelce after she accepted his friendship bracelet," the account wrote. This spurred a reaction from Chiefs fans, many of which pointed out that Kelce had deliberately hovered his hand to avoid making bodily contact with Hunt.
A Reddit thread was created to discuss the potential romance between Hunt and Kelce. One fan pointed out that the daughter of the team's owner was likely not interested, but added one caveat. "She's way above his pay grade although she did post a picture on IG with an 87 jersey on!" the Redditor commented. A year earlier, in September 2022, Hunt uploaded a series of snaps in a Kelce jersey to promote a sale of Chiefs gear. In fact, the model and influencer had links to both Kelce and Taylor Swift before their romance made headlines.
