The “Swifties,” who are devoted fans of Taylor Swift, have discovered a possible family line between the singer and NFL player Travis Kelce. This revelation is related to a scene in Swift’s “Seven” music video when a young Swift is seen sporting a sweater that says “Sea Isle” in print. Remarkably, the brother of Travis Kelce recently bought a vacation house in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. Swift herself spent her summers growing up in the adjacent town of Stone Harbor, New Jersey, which adds dimension to the tale.
The Background: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Fans who closely followed the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance since it went public last fall might already know about the connection between Swift’s father, Scott Swift, and Kelce’s coach, Andy Reid. Reid knew Swift when she was a child, and their friendship has been a source of playful banter during NFL seasons. But there’s more to this story.
In Swift’s 2020 album “Folklore,” the song “Seven” holds a special place. In the music video for this track, a young Taylor Swift is seen sitting in a tree, her long blonde hair cascading down her back. She wears shorts and a gray sweatshirt with the words “Sea Isle” boldly emblazoned across the front. But what’s the significance of this seemingly innocuous sweatshirt?
Swifties Dig Deep: Discovering a Possible Connection to Travis Kelce’s Family
Swifties noticed that the sweatshirt pays homage to Sea Isle City, a charming spot on the Jersey Shore. As a child, Taylor Swift vacationed there with her parents. The connection became public knowledge when the “Seven” video dropped in the summer of 2020. But the plot thickens.
The fact that Travis Kelce’s coach once knew Taylor Swift’s father has added fuel to the wild speculation among fans, even though this information doesn’t definitively prove a direct childhood link between Swift and the Kelce family. It’s important to note that this is all speculation and that neither Swift nor the Kelce family have provided any official confirmation. Nevertheless, this incident demonstrates the incredible devotion and inquisitiveness of the Swiftie fanbase, highlighting the strength of online communities and their steadfast loyalty to their idol.
