LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Swifties have had a positive few months since rumors about Taylor Swift dating a player from the Kansas City Chiefs surfaced in early September.
Since then, fans of Taylor Swift have witnessed Kansas City’s prolific tight end Travis Kelce and the 12-time Grammy-winning hitmaker appear together holding hands in public, to visiting and supporting each other in their respective work setting.
Swifties on X have recently uncovered an old tweet from Travis Kelce dating back to 2011, melting their hearts and prompting many to affectionately refer to him as a "himbo."
“Himbo” is an informal, humourous way of defining a good-looking but unintelligent man.
What did Travis Kelce say in his 2011 tweet?
Travis posted on Twitter (now, X) in 2011, saying, “I just gave a squirle a piece of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!! I had no idea they ate bread like that!! Haha #crazy”
In the tweet, the 34-year-old American football player recounts an innocuous incident from April 14, 2011, where he shared a piece of bread with a squirrel, and to his amazement, the squirrel devoured the entire piece of bread.
Unaware that squirrels took to bread so readily, he shared his newfound experience with the rodents on Twitter to update his followers at that time.
Now, fans of Taylor Swift find Travis' innocent remarks and his unique perspective on the world around him irresistibly charming.
How did Swifties react to Travis’ 2011 tweet?
From playfully labeling him an absolute "himbo" to numerous comparisons to a "golden retriever boyfriend," fans on X are thoroughly enamored with this emerging couple.
One X user said: “Oh this himbo .. I love him.”
Another user wrote: “I was laughing so hard at squirle (sic) i didn’t even notice piece.”
