Halloween 2023 is witnessing a slew of creative costumes as celebrities pay tribute to NFL superstar Travis Kelce and the iconic pop sensation Taylor Swift’s rumored romance.
And, in the recent episode of the podcast, “New Heights,” the Kelce brothers opened up about their feelings regarding this eerie yet flattering trend.
Eagles star, Jason Kelce, expressed his mixed emotions on seeing hordes of people emulating the duo.
“It was pretty creepy watching that many people be us, but it was awesome,” he admitted.
While Jason might have had reservations about the impersonations, his junior sibling Travis Kelce, welcomed the wave of mimicry with open arms.
In fact, the star TE playfully dubbed the holiday as a “Kelce Halloween,” adding that he found the whole experience “cool.”
So, who exactly stepped into the shoes of Travis Kelce and donned Taylor Swift’s iconic looks for Halloween this year?
The celebrity duo, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, transformed into Travis and Taylor for an episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark.”

The real spark that ignited these Halloween tributes, however, could be traced back to the rumors of a budding relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
The speculations gained traction when Kelce revealed his attempt to gift Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during an episode of “New Heights” back in July.
Unfortunately, his grand gesture didn’t materialize.
However, rumors started swirling in full swing about their alleged romance.
And, just two months later, Taylor Swift graced one of Kelce’s games with the Chiefs, putting all the rumors to rest.
Ever since the pair continued to make headlines and are currently one of the nation’s most popular power couples.
Interestingly, in 2020, a fan, Makayla Stephens, took the creative liberty of dressing up as Swift while her husband sported a Travis Kelce jersey for a last-minute Halloween event.
"I don’t know any world in which Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce would be in the same room together, but apparently in this one they’re married?" Makayla Stephens captioned her photo from October 2020.https://t.co/LI6pjlk1X6
