Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have a new family member: Meet Wendy the dog

  • On September 1, 2026, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce appeared in Tommy Hilfiger's 'Only in New York' campaign at The Plaza Hotel, featuring his and Taylor Swift's Samoyed as an unannounced co-star.
  • Tommy Hilfiger's creative team initially planned to cast a dog for the campaign when Kelce volunteered his own pet, according to a Vogue interview, seamlessly blending his personal life into the brand's storytelling.

  • This partnership extends Kelce's off-field ventures, positioning him alongside Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton as a brand ambassador, as he prepares for his fourteenth NFL season with the Chiefs.
