Travis Kelce is a self-proclaimed “furry son of a bitch,” and Atlanta Falcons star Kirk Cousins is amazed that Taylor Swift can tolerate it.
The veteran quarterback weighed in on the shirtless photos of Swift’s boyfriend that recently made the rounds on the internet. In them, Kelce’s copious back hair is fully visible.
“God bless Taylor Swift for being good with that,” Cousins, 36, told E! News in a story published Wednesday, May 21. “That’s awesome. Good for her.”
Cousins was quick to add that he does not have the same problem as his fellow athlete.

Travis Kelce gets very sweaty. “Look at these f–king dehydrated pits,” Travis, 34, said during the Wednesday, January 24, episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. “You’ve got some pit stains going,” Jason, 36, quipped as Travis held up his arms to show that his shirt was completely drenched. “I don’t know […]
“Thankfully, I don’t have to deal with that, but I’m in a locker room a lot,” he added. “That’s just a part of life. It is what it is.”
Travis, 35, spoke about his back hair on the Wednesday episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. The two were discussing the NFL scheduling international games, with Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs playing the Los Angeles Rams in Brazil this September.
Travis explained he doesn’t like playing in the heat, dubbing himself a “furry son of a bitch.”
“Me and heat just don’t do well together,” he said. “So, I apologize if it came off as if I’m not excited about this. I’m still excited, I’m just gonna be doing some wardrobe changes throughout the game.”

Travis Kelce has a new ‘do. Sporting slicked-back hair, Travis, 35, joined brother Jason Kelce at Amazon’s Upfront 2025 Presentation at Beacon Theatre in New York City on Monday, May 12. While Jason, 37, sported a gray pinstripe suit, newsboy cap and bushy beard, Travis looked sleek in a gray suit, blue-and-white T-shirt and white sneakers. […]
Travis’ back hair is nothing new. Jason, 37, took time to razz his brother about it on a 2022 episode of “New Heights,” explaining where his brother got the nickname “Big Yeti.”
“When Trav was at Cincinnati, he would play basketball in the playground quite a bit,” Jason said. “And anyone who has ever played pickup basketball, you know there’s shirts and skins.”
Jason went on to describe Travis’ “chest hair, back hair, arm hair, leg hair” that would be on full display whenever he was on the skins team.
“I had the big beard, I had the long hair,” Travis added. “It’s just a big ole Yeti out there, man. All the homies on the court were calling me ‘Big Yeti.’”
The younger Kelce returned the favor during an April episode when he insisted Jason needed a “tit reduction” as the two laughed over an unflattering photo of Jason at Justin Timberlake’s 8AM Invitational golf tournament in Las Vegas.
“In fairness I think it was a little cold,” joked Jason, who took the teasing in stride. “Those are just thermostats working. It was a little breezy that day.”
