Michelle Wie West is happy to give credit where credit is due.
The retired pro golfer stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 13 and divulged the story behind how her diamond friendship bracelet made its way onto Taylor Swift’s wrist in January.
“All thanks to Travis Kelce,” Wie West told host Jimmy Fallon of how the moment came to be. “He’s the best.”
Wie West told Fallon that she originally met Travis Kelce, 34, through Justin Timberlake’s 8AM Golf Invitational. When the opportunity presented itself to get one of her custom bracelets — which she crafted in collaboration with Wove — to Swift, she took it.
“It’s like a really upscale friendship bracelet, really inspired by Taylor. It has diamonds, it has, like, the beads, you can personalize however you want,” she said of her bracelet collection. “So I messaged him and I was like, ‘Hey, you know, we made a bracelet inspired by Taylor, like, we would love to just give her one, I don’t care … what she does with it … I just want it to be given to her.”
