If you can’t beat them, be them.
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly dressed up as Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift for Halloween, after Kelly admitted she’s “jealous” of the attention the couple gets at NFL games .
Kelly shared photos of the couple’s costume on her Instagram on Friday, with Stafford replicating Kelce’s outfit from the US Open men’s final, which he attended with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, as well as Swift.
“Six Swifties and one stubborn tache,” Kelly captioned the image, referencing how Stafford’s Kelce-replicating adhesive mustache kept coming off.
The costume choice seemed strange given that Kelly has been complaining about Travis and Taylor.
“I feel like there’s a cloud hanging over this Taylor Swift thing,” he said on his podcast. ‘Now, I’ve never said I don’t like Taylor Swift, ever.

They were inspired by the couple’s outfits during their final visit to the US Open in September.
Kelly Stafford has openly admitted to feeling jealous of the attention Kelce and Swift receive.
“But I will say that I got a little tired of the coverage the Chiefs did – in fact, the coverage the NFL did of this budding relationship last year.” And can she do anything about it? No, she can’t.
‘It was a good business decision for the NFL, but I almost felt like it was overshadowing the games. I think that’s what bothered me.
“I was a little jealous of the fact that they were getting all this attention and suddenly the football game had become the sideshow. So yeah, maybe I let jealousy get the best of me.
The Staffords took their children to see Swift perform in New Orleans, and Kelly said she enjoyed the show, before returning her jealousy of Travis and Taylor.
“I had some jealousy issues over the fact that she suddenly became the main spectacle of NFL football or her relationship,” he said.
‘And I see my husband work hard and I see all these guys that play for the league work hard and all of a sudden they’re like the sideshow. So that’s where that came from.”
The Rams do not play the Chiefs, the two-time reigning Super Bowl champions, this season.
Stafford’s team is 3-4 and currently last in the NFC West, while the Chiefs are undefeated at 7-0 as they seek a historic third consecutive Super Bowl title.
