The Kansas City Chiefs celebrated Travis Kelce's birthday with a subtle nod to his pop sensation fiancee, Taylor Swift.
Ahead of facing the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football, the Chiefs tight end turned 36 on Sunday.
And the franchise chose to mark the occasion with a heartfelt tribute to the three-time Super Bowl winner on social media.
The team's official X account shared a series of snaps of Kelce throughout the years including a particularly adorable photo of him as a chubby toddler alongside his older brother Jason.
The selection of sweet snaps included other moments from Kelce's childhood, including one of him striking a pose in a football helmet and Cleveland Browns jersey, as well as another of him smiling for the camera in a Chicago Blackhawks NHL jersey.
Kelce can also be seen front and center as he sits for a team photo with his high school basketball roster.

The Chiefs' collage then moved on to Kelce's college years, showing him signing with the Cincinnati Bearcats and posing with Jason, who also played on the university's football team.
Touching family photos with his dad, Ed, and mom, Donna, also featured before others showed him suiting up for the Chiefs.
The message also included a small reference to his fiancee and her loving description of the NFL star.
'Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the human exclamation point. We hope it's your best year yet, [Travis Kelce],' the Chiefs wrote.
During her special guest appearance on the Kelce brothers' New Heights podcast, the songstress likened her NFL beau to a 'human exclamation point'.
'Travis is just a vibe booster in everyone's life that he's in,' Swift explained.
'When you take a picture on your phone and you push the enhance color button, that's what you do to everyone's life,' she said.
Kelce is expected to spend his birthday traveling down to Florida with the Chiefs ahead of Monday's game.

It is currently unclear if Swift will have spent the morning with her NFL beau before he and his teammates began their journey amid her jam-packed schedule.
The singer was in London late this week for multiple media appearances to promote her latest release - which she first announced in an appearance on Kelce's New Heights podcast back in August.
It is expected that, while the songstress will be back in the United States, she won't be making an appearance at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, FL for Monday's game.
Swift is scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this Monday and Late Night with Seth Meyers this Friday to promote her new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl.'
