For Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce, a little typographical error on his latest Super Bowl ring is no big deal - in fact, he thinks it makes his ring more unique.

AceShowbiz - When the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their triumph with new Super Bowl rings, which cost an estimated $40,000 each and contain over 500 diamonds and 38 rubies, some fans couldn't help but notice a small mistake. The Miami Dolphins, listed as the seventh seed amongst the teams the Chiefs beat in the playoffs, were in fact the sixth seed. However, NFL star Travis Kelce sees it as a humorous footnote rather than a tarnish on his achievement.
"I don't give a s**t," Kelce stated on the "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce. "I like it that we didn't give a f**k about what seed Miami is. They were the seventh. Who cares? They could've done no seeds on the side of them. I would've been fine."
While some might think this detail would be bothersome, Kelce appreciates it for its quirkiness. "Like, 'Oh, yeah, we made it really detailed, and, oops, we screwed up,' " he added. "It just makes it more exclusive. We screwed up about something that means nothing."
Kelce, who now boasts three Super Bowl rings, was asked which one he favors the most. Although he admits the latest bling "feels and looks like a championship ring," he still cherishes his 2023 ring, awarded after the Chiefs beat Jason's team, the Philadelphia Eagles. "The top of the ring comes off, and it has a clasp so that you can wear it in different ways," he shared.
The championship ring isn't just a symbol of victory, it's an extension of Kelce's unique style. Whether he's donning designer suits or opting for casual button-downs, the tight end's fashion sense is as distinctive as his play on the field.
"I kind of just do it off of instinct," he explained in an interview with WSJ Magazine in October 2023. "It really just goes down to the wire. I kind of enjoy the creative process of the panic to just throw something together."
Though his focus is often on football and fashion, Kelce balances his personal life with his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Despite Swift being on her Eras Tour in Europe during the recent ring ceremony, she showed her support through an Instagram Live feed, cheering Kelce and his teammates from afar.
Long-distance or not, Kelce and Swift find ways to prioritize each other. An insider stated, "They both move their schedules around if it's feasible and try to carve out as much time as they can to see each other, as well as each other's families and friends."
In the end, whether it's a typo on a priceless ring or balancing a high-profile relationship, Travis Kelce takes it all in stride, always finding joy and meaning in the details that others might overlook.
