The entire nation held its breath as Travis Kelce’s private jet touched down at Sydney Airport on Thursday morning ahead of his reunion with girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The aircraft’s journey was the number one most tracked flight worldwide during its descent, with close to 10,000 people watching its journey online.

Every major Australian network – including ABC, Nine, Ten and Seven – pivoted to live helicopter vision as the Bombardier Global 6000 opened its doors just after 9.15am.

The first man to step out kept his head down and was dressed in a matching navy outfit complete with Nike shoes, a simple backpack and a navy cap.

The man that followed wore a flashy striped tracksuit and sweatshirt combination with a white cap slid on backwards and a duffel bag in one hand.

“No, that looks like Travis, the second one,” insisted another presenter.

“I’m feeling even more competent now that this is Travis Kelce, his backwards cap and he’s sporting athleisure, I can say we are onto the right person here.”

There was just one problem – the Today show, and dozens of media publications across the globe – had the wrong man.

Kelce was travelling with his close friend, NFL star Ross Travis, who took to Instagram before boarding the flight to share a fleeting clip of his outfit.

In the two-second clip, Ross Travis’ distinctive striped tracksuits can be seen. His plain white shoes also appear to be missing the black Nike logo worn by Travis Kelce.
