Patrick Regan has been the go-to barber for Travis Kelce and more athletes.
Regan, who was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, runs his own barber business called Patty Cuts.

“Thanks @taylorswift for the Pics of the Gameday Freshy for @killatrav ,” he penned via Instagram. “I had an Amazing Time at Yesterdays Game .”
