Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Debuts In His First Tommy Hilfiger Ad Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, made his debut in a commercial for Tommy Hilfiger, marking a significant step in his growing presence in the fashion industry. The one-minute, 45-second ad, which premiered on September 1, 2026, showcases Kelce navigating iconic New York City locations and interacting with a mix of celebrities and cultural figures. The campaign, set against the backdrop of the city’s landmarks, highlights Kelce’s personal connection to New York, a city he has increasingly associated with since his high-profile wedding to Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden in July 2026. Kelce’s collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger began in April 2026, when the brand’s global chief marketing officer, Virginia Ritchie, praised the commercial as “magnificent.” The shoot took place at The Plaza Hotel, a historic New York landmark that has also been the longtime residence of Tommy Hilfiger himself. The ad features Kelce in a series of scenes that blend casual and stylish moments, including a fist-bump with a doorman, a greeting with South Korean DJ Peggy Gou, and a relaxed encounter with model Gigi Hadid. The commercial also includes interactions with other celebrities, such as tennis player Frances Tiafoe and former NBA star Carmelo Anthony, before culminating in a meeting with Hilfiger himself in a taxi. The ad’s narrative underscores Kelce’s affinity for New York’s unpredictable energy, a theme he emphasized in a statement: “There’s a magic to this city, and I love that you never know who or what’s around the corner.” The commercial also showcases the brand’s signature red, white, and blue color palette, as well as its preppy outerwear designs.#madison_square_garden #kansas_city_chiefs #travis_kelce #tommy_hilfiger #virginia_ritchie
