There’s just something about sitting in a hairdresser’s chair that tends to send a person into a confessional trance. Maybe it’s the shampoo. Maybe barbers and stylists know a secret spot on the scalp to press to get you to say what’s up. It’s a mystery. Whatever it is, hair people tend to get the best gossip, so when Travis Kelce’s favorite barber, Pat Regan, starts talking about Kelce and Taylor Swift getting married, we’re all ears.
In the Monday episode of the hair industry-focused podcast Your Day Off, Regan had this to say about a potential wedding for Kelce and Swift: “Hopefully soon, that’ll be fun.”
You may better know Regan as “Patty Cuts,” his nom du barb. He’s been keeping Kelce’s hair in line for years, and even posted on Instagram in 2022 that Regan “sleep[s] at [Kelce’s] house every weekend.” He’s the one who gave Kelce a trim ahead of the Super Bowl (complete with a personalized Chiefs jersey-inspired haircutting cape for Kelce), and who casually shouted out Swift for snapping pics of him giving Kelce a pre-game groom with her signature soft filter. With a long-running follicular relationship like that, you just know who would be handling the groom’s clippers before a walk down the aisle. (Imagine the hair cape.)
Regan added that the two hadn’t “announced” any plans yet. He also discussed getting to know Swift during those pre-game buzzes.
“It’s, like, kind of cool to see because I know her as a person now,” he said. “She’s just a really nice person. She’s very interested in what you’re saying. She doesn’t act like the most famous celebrity in the world, you know.”
He called Swift “a good girlfriend to my friend.”
Those weekend sleepovers, however, are a thing of the past now that Kelce has moved houses to a more secluded and secure spot amidst the attention he’s received since his relationship with Swift became public knowledge. “Things kind of changed a little bit,” he said, but Kelce is still “one of my bros.”
“I’m happy for him and seeing the stardom that he’s getting,” Regan said. “Cause he’s just a normal guy too. You guys would love him. He’s just a regular dude.”
Regan’s not the only one hoping to hear wedding bells for Swift and Kelce in the near future: As the couple near their first anniversary, noted Chiefs fan Jason Sudeikis put Kelce on the spot while in character during a comedy sketch over the weekend, asking when he was going to make “an honest woman” of Swift. For his part, Kelce laughed and rubbed his beard, perhaps contemplating when he could next make it to Regan for a trim.
Representatives for Taylor Swift did not immediately respond to Vanity Fair’s request for comment.
