“Swifties are so unserious”: A fan goes viral with ‘Redwood 87’ jersey inspired by Taylor Swift song about Travis Kelce

A Kansas City Chiefs fan just turned heads and X (formerly known as Twitter) feeds with a bold outfit paying tribute to both NFL fandom (Travis Kelce) and pop culture (Taylor Swift). Spotted at a recent Chiefs gathering, the fan was rocking a custom jersey with “Redwood” written across the back and the number 87, immediately sparking chatter online. The reference? Taylor Swift’s 2025 song “Wood” that name-drops Travis Kelce, the Chiefs superstar tight end who wears #87.

The ‘Redwood 87’ jersey is a clever nod to Taylor Swift’s lyrics and Travis Kelce’s on-field identity

The jersey is a perfect mix of sport and pop culture. “Redwood” comes straight from Swift’s song, where the term is a playful, metaphorical reference to Kelce’s manhood, part of the bold, cheeky lyrics she crafted about him. Paired with #87, Kelce’s actual jersey number, the fan’s outfit merges Swift’s lyrical reference with real-life NFL identity, creating a humorous and personalized tribute that immediately caught the internet’s attention.

In Taylor Swift’s 2025 track ‘Wood’ from The Life of a Showgirl, the line ‘Redwood tree ain’t hard to see’ is basically her cheeky way of hyping up Travis Kelce’s… well, you know. ‘Redwood’ is just a funny, extra way of talking about his manhood. Taylor even said the song started out all mystical vibes but ended up being super bold and kinda lowkey flirty with Kelce.

Social media erupts over the fan’s viral jersey moment

As soon as photos of the outfit hit X, reactions poured in. One user posted, “I just know all the places that customize jerseys have been busy since October 3rd.”

Another wrote, “Chiefs kingdom is really the perfect sister fandom because they are so unserious like us” The viral nature of the jersey shows how Swifties can make anything creative in hilarious ways.

The fun part was the fan’s age, he didn’t look young per se, which makes it all the more cute and wholesome. Talk about a true Swiftie range. The song referencing Kelce sparked a wave of fan creativity, from social media posts to fan art and now custom jerseys. Whether you’re cheering for the Chiefs, singing along to Taylor Swift, or just love viral internet moments, the Redwood 87 jersey hits all the right notes. It’s funny, clever, and exactly the type of content the internet thrives on.
