In a recent interview with ET, Michelle Wie West opened up about the creative process behind her collaboration with Wove, revealing that she drew inspiration from Taylor Swift herself while making the singer’s friendship bracelet. “She’s a big inspiration for the piece itself,” West explained. “I just wanted to create a more elevated piece.” Speaking on the TNT initials, West described it as a “sentimental and cute and funny” addition to the bracelet. “TNT, dynamite. Their relationship is dynamite. It’s just so cute,” West added.
In a TikTok video, Wove’s lead designer, Kendall Junck, also spoke on the bracelet, noting that the initial was Kelce’s special touch to the jewelry. “As much as we would love to take credit for the TNT nickname, that was all Travis,” Junck explained. In her interview with ET, West explained that she reached out to Kelce, informing him of the collection’s friendship bracelets. “I told him the first person I thought of was Taylor Swift because she’s the queen of friendship bracelets. He’s so gracious enough to support the collection, and be the middleman and hand one over to Taylor,” West recounted.
But while Swift’s bracelet is currently getting all of the raving, Kelce apparently has one of his own — a chunkier version, as revealed by Junck in the TikTok video.
