Gigi Hadid recently presented her friend Taylor Swift with a thoughtful ring, ensuring it included a subtle reference to Travis Kelce.
“It was an incredible honor to create a bespoke piece for Taylor Swift!!!!!!! ❤️🔥🇬🇧🐾,” Cece Jewellery, the designer behind the unique band, wrote on Instagram. “This gift was given to her by her best friend. It features her beloved cat, Benjamin Button, surrounded by a lustrous pearl border and accented with flaming hearts. One side bears her favorite number, 13, while the other displays Travis Kelce’s jersey number, 87.”
The jewelry brand shared several close-up images of the gold ring, showcasing the pop star’s cat on the front—the same feline that graced Swift’s shoulders on her TIME Person of the Year cover. Each side of the ring featured a flaming heart with the numbers 87 and 13, representing Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs jersey and Swift’s lucky number, respectively. (Swift and Kelce have been romantically linked since summer 2023.)
Inscribed inside the jewelry was “TTPD,” a tribute to Swift’s 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, released in April. “This ring is designed to keep her favorite things close,” the jewelry brand added. “It’s been a thrill to see her shine on the London stage, and we’re eagerly awaiting a glimpse of her wearing it. #taylorswift #cecejewellery #erastour #traviskelce #london #benjaminbutton #petportrait @taylorswift ♥ Swipe to uncover a hidden engraving #ttpd 🎶.”
Hadid, 29, expressed her delight in the comments, writing, “It’s perfect ☺ thank u x.” The two celebrities have been friends for a decade, first appearing together at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars party.
Swift praised Hadid in a Harper’s Bazaar cover story from May 2017, saying, “Gigi is one of the first people I turn to for advice. She has a remarkable ability to see all sides of a situation and simplify it for me, helping me understand people’s complexities.”
As Swift embarked on her Eras Tour, which began in March 2023, Hadid has been a constant source of support. In May, Hadid attended Swift’s Paris concert with Bradley Cooper. They enjoyed the show from a private box at La Défense Arena, along with Kelce. (Hadid and Cooper, 49, have been romantically linked since October 2023.)
The Paris concert was also Swift’s 87th Eras Tour performance, a number that fans noticed corresponded with Kelce’s jersey number. Swift will continue her tour through December, with her next stop at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Friday, June 28, for three sold-out shows.
