Fans of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Swift have been starved for couples content this offseason.
Ever since the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX back on Feb. 9, Kelce and Swift, who were photographed together quite a bit and had many public date nights, essentially disappeared from the spotlight amid some public backlash centered around their overexposure during the NFL season.
But it appears things are slowly inching back toward normal for the high-profile A-listers as a new video of Swift made the rounds on social media late Thursday night/early Saturday morning as she made a solo appearance in New York City at Italian hotspot Via Carota in West Village.
Several fans immediately noted that Kelce, who was in Florida training and recently returned to Kansas City for Chiefs OTAs, wasn’t with Swift, who had been the talk of social media recently after not winning any of the six American Music Awards she was nominated for during Monday’s event.
And while fans Swift may have been momentarily surprised by Swift’s rare Kelce-less appearance, they got over it pretty quickly as several applauded the “Shake It Off” singer for stepping back into the public eye after she was booed during the Super Bowl just three months ago.
“She's so not used to holding a door since Travis would have handled that lol” one fan joked.
“She's back ready to dominate the second half of the year,” declared another.
“The first *actual* taysighting in a long time, oh we're getting closer and closer,” a third fan replied.
“PAPARAZZI TAYLOR IS BACK. OUR GIRL IS BACK,” one user exclaimed.
“A Taylor swift sighting these days is the equivalent of adding thirteen years to my lifespan,” remarked another user.
“THIS is what main character energy looks like 🔥” one fan wrote.
Kelce will likely be back on social media with the second and third Chiefs OTAs grouping on June 2-4 and June 10-13, followed by mandatory minicamp June 17-19 and training camp sometime in late July.
Kansas City opens the season at home against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5 at Arrowhead Stadium. They also play two of their following three games at home against the Eagles on Sept. 14 and the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 28.
Swift is expected to be at most, if not all of the Chiefs’ home games this season to support Kelce.
