Travis Kelce was thrust into a bizarre narrative this past weekend, and no, it had nothing to do with Taylor Swift. This time around, it was the New York Times who wrote about Kelce and his haircut. For years, Kelce has had a typical fade. Overall, it is a look that was first used by black men and the technique itself was perfected by black barbers. However, the NYT was dubbing this the "Travis Kelce Cut." Subsequently, many felt disrespected by the report as it completely ignored the history of the haircut.
Kelce is hardly the first man to wear his hair this way, and he will not be the last. However, some continue to act like he somehow invented this haircut. Well, last night was media day for the Super Bowl, and he got to field a ton of questions on a variety of topics. Of course, many wanted to hear about the new Taylor Swift album that is coming out. One journalist ended up asking him about his haircut and what he thought of the controversy. As he explained, he never created it. He is well aware of this and wants it to be crystal clear.
