Wendy the Dog makes NYFW debut alongside Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's Samoyed, Wendy, is continuing her whirlwind entry into public life, following her debut earlier this month in Tommy Hilfiger's Only in New York Fall 2026 campaign. 

Kelce confirmed on the September 2 episode of his New Heights podcast that Wendy is a little over a year old and had been with the couple for some time before her public unveiling. 

He explained that the Hilfiger team had been considering including a dog in the campaign, prompting him to suggest Wendy after checking with Swift first. 

"She was all for it," Kelce said. 

"And it's kind of crazy how perfect Wendy looks in a Tommy Hilfiger world, you know what I mean? She matches the brand and the shoot, and it was pretty easy to get her to jump on the couch and have some fun with us. So... Wendy's now a model."

The campaign, shot at New York's Plaza Hotel, shows Kelce and Wendy relaxing together on a couch, and also features fellow stars Gigi Hadid, Jisoo, Peggy Gou, Frances Tiafoe and Carmelo Anthony. 

Kelce shared the campaign on his own Instagram, teasing in the caption, "There's also one very special cameo in there too."
