Travis Kelce is back on the field and ready for action.
Nearly three weeks after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 36, tied the knot with Taylor Swift inside New York City's Madison Square Garden, Kelce is preparing for what's being labeled his "last dance" with the NFL team.
In a photo shared to Instagram on Monday, July 20, Kelce's pal Cris Carter hinted that his upcoming season could be Kelce's last.
"Andrew [Spruill] and I started with Travis before his rookie year in the NFL," Carter wrote alongside the photo, which showed him posing with Kelce and his training team. "Know the [GOAT] is preparing for THE LAST DANCE. Next stop Canton/HOF."
In the pic, the three-time Super Bowl champ is seen sporting a black Bearcats T-shirt from his alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, matching shorts and red-and-black Nike sneakers.
But what stood out most to eagle-eyed Swifties wasn't his look, or the caption; it was the ring on Kelce's finger. Carter's post gave fans their first look at the football star's wedding band, which was on display as he placed an arm around Carter's shoulder.
The return to routine follows Kelce and Swift's star-studded wedding, which saw 1,000 guests in attendance, including the couple's close friends and family. Officiated by a friend of the couple, Adam Sandler, the celebration still managed to feel intimate despite all the star power in the room. The couple also did away with a traditional wedding party, opting instead to have their siblings by their side. Swift, for her part, had her brother Austin Swift serve as her man of honor, while Jason Kelce stood by his brother's side as his best man.
And while Kelce is back to business as usual following the pair's wedding, Carter's post is the only real hint that the 2026-2027 season could be his last, as previous comments from Kelce signaled that he wasn't sure when he'd make the decision to retire.
He did, however, put rumors about his future for Season 14 to rest back in March.
"HE'S BACK!!!" his New Heights podcast's Instagram account announced at the time. "TRAVIS KELCE IS BACK WITH THE CHIEFS FOR YEAR 14."
The NFL echoed the excitement, posting its own announcement on Instagram alongside a video of Kelce with the caption, "He's not done yet."
