JUST IN: Travis Kelce earns a LEGION of new admirers after video of him walking around SHIRTLESS in nothing but a towel is circulated in LAKE COMO with Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce has got Taylor Swift fans hot under the collar on social media after a viral video in which he appears topless with a towel wrapped around his waist was posted to social media – leaving many astounded by his ‘hotness’.

The 34-year-old NFL star has been circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, for a matter of days thanks to a gif which showcases his toned physique and his rugged chest.

In the clip, which is only a mere few seconds, a shirtless Travis glides one hand down his middle before running his hand through his hair.

He seems to be in high spirits during this swift movement and can be seen laughing and joking with the person behind the camera.

While details about the origin of the clip remain a total mystery, it was posted on the social media platform on December 18.

Since then, the gif has been viewed an astonishing 2.9 million times and has been bookmarked by 2.4k users.

Jaw-dropped fans went wild over the footage, with many expressing that they understand why Taylor has fallen in love with him.

Taking to X, one simply said: ‘Taylor I get it.’

Another confessed: ‘I’m not ashamed to say I bookmarked this.’

A thirds said: ‘TAYLOR, SORRY, I SWEAR THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE UNDUE THOUGHTS ABOUT TRAVIS BUT THIS PHOTO IS MORE THAN ME. HE’S JUST SO HOT I CAN’T EVE- *dies*’

A fourth added: ‘I cannot speak the thoughts I’m having rn.’

Others, however, were a little distracted by Travis’s chest hair. ‘GOD GET THIS MAN A RAZOR PLEASE I CAN’T’, one begged.

Earlier this week, reports claimed that the pair are not planning an engagement any time soon.

Whisperings had surfaced at the beginning of December that NFL player Travis was planning to get down on one knee around the time of the pop star’s birthday – she turned 34 on December 13.

But the celebrations came and went without any further announcement that the couple, who went public with their relationship in September, have stepped things up.

The couple are set to spend the holidays together with Taylor expected to be watching on at both Chiefs games on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.

Travis plays the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium on December 25 and then rounds out 2023 with a game against the Bengals in Kansas City.

The high-profile pair have had more time together in recent weeks with Taylor rounding off her touring for the year last month with a string of shows in South America.

But next year, she has a relentless touring schedule as she takes her wildly successful Eras Tour around the globe – with dates in Japan, Australia, Singapore and a summer tour across Europe.

If the Chiefs make the Super Bowl, in Vegas on February 11, Taylor has time to make it despite playing in Japan in the week before.

Her final Tokyo date is on February 10 but the time difference – and her access to a private jet – means she could easily make the showpiece event of the football season.
