Travis Kelce shocked fans when he returned for this week’s episode of New Heights looking notably different than he did just a week prior.
The Kansas City Chiefs star had a rosy glow about him in a screen grab shared to X by a fan, looking more than a little sun-kissed.
“the difference in just a week pls where did this man go?ðŸ˜,” the user—named Hilary—asked, sparking a social media debate among other listeners about the cause of his apparent tan—or if it even existed at all.

“I need to know because my vampire complexion would also like to magically be bronzed to this perfection,” one fan quipped, as several speculated that he’d been out golfing in the “desert.”
“could it be that he just didn’t put his ring light on for this week’s episode???” one wondered. “or did he really get that tan??”
“Oh they’ve been in the sunnnn,” someone else surmised as they posted the same photo, presumably referring to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift—the two of them have reportedly been “traveling nonstop” in their downtime.
Another fan noted he was wearing a hat from The Madison Club, a golf club in the Coachella Valley, and speculated that he may have laid low at the music festival this past weekend, though many didn’t believe he would have been able to get away with absolutely no photos of his presence leaking—after all, he and the “Style” songstress stole the show last year.
But, as another pointed out, his beard appeared to have darkened, too, meaning he may not be quite as bronzed as he appears in this particular snapshot.
