Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce stepped out at the Waverly Inn on Sunday night

Before the snake fam even got the chance to process Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s surprise Saturday night outing, Traylor was out again on Sunday night. They hit up the Waverly Inn after Travis attended his brother’s game (the Eagles, Jason Kelce’s team, lost). Taylor’s outfit here isn’t my favorite thing ever, but it’s also got a ‘90s vibe which I sort of appreciate.

There’s a lot of gossip reporting about Traylor’s two nights in New York. Reportedly, they were making out in the middle of the SNL afterparty for hours. They also looked “in love” and like they weren’t even paying attention to anyone else (except Ice Spice).

“Taylor and Travis looked very comfortable and happy together. They were kissing openly and weren’t shy with their PDA. When Taylor first arrived, she spent time with Ice Spice and Ice Spice’s friends,” the source says.

Another source adds that the pair appeared to be the “real deal,” and that they didn’t hold back when it came to being affectionate.

“They were holding hands throughout the night, whispering into each other’s ear, and they even exchanged some kisses,” says the source, who added it wasn’t like they were making out, just sweet moments like “he’d kiss her on her head.”

The source added that Kelce was also protective of Swift. “At one point, he actually told her security guard that he could step aside, like he’d take it from here,” the source says.

[From ET]

I’ve already seen some videos where it looks like Travis is having a hard time negotiating Taylor’s security, especially when they’re getting in and out of cars. I think it’s great that he’s protective of her and he thinks he’s got it covered, but Taylor needs to sit down with him and tell him that he needs to let her security do their jobs and there’s a reason why she has such a big security detail. Still, it’s also possible that Travis knows what makes a good photo, and he didn’t want Taylor’s security guys in the frame!

Meanwhile, The Eras Tour film shattered the box office this weekend, raking in $95-$97 million in North America. The Traylor outings also work as promotion!

    Um, the Jets won. Philly lost their first game. No more undefeated NFL teams left, if anyone cares.

  2. Yes they do look cute together but the Eagles did not win the Jets won unfortunately 😞. I think that when she’s with him he will protect her which is cute too.

  3. Kath says:

    Jason’s team actually lost in a huge upset to the Jets. Boo.

    I would’ve thought having Travis help you in and out of cars is a good move from a security point of view, as it means her bodyguards’ hands are free and they’re not distracted by concierge duties.

    Taylor should also get used to being with a dude who’s 6’5″, has laser-point reflexes and physically tramples over people for a living. He’s not going to cover his face and scurry off before her like Joe Alwyn.

    • Smart&Messy says:

      Yeah, this guy is not going to run off for cover for sure. I love this for her.

      In the past I rarely clicked on a Swift story, but now I do for hot Travis. I love this outfit too! The side effect is that I hate her bangs so much. Her whole hairstyle here looks like she just took off her swim cap.

      • Teddy says:

        Also really enjoying the vibe he brings. He’s the first guy she’s dated with grown-up man energy. Hope they are both having a lot of fun.

      • Lux says:

        Ha, swim cap! I also dislike the hair…she needs to change up those bangs—who told her she needed them? Does she have a third eye on her forehead or something? It’s been so many years and they’re raggedly at this point (I know the look is intentional, which makes it worse). The outfit would look amazing if she had a sleek pony or a straight, blunt bob.

        Travis’ look is channeling Kanye, ie. It’s looking a little adult onesie with its bagginess. It’s very hard to dress for his body type. I think the Rock always looks great, so maybe he should take some notes.

      • AnnaKist says:

        I only clicked on the stories to see what people meant about this guy. BeingAussie I don’t know anything about American football. After clicking on, I discovered two things. 1. Taylor Swift is much taller than I had imagined. I thought she was a little wisp of a girl,. 2. This man is the example I mean, when people ask me how I like my tea. “I like my tea as I like my men.- big, strong, sweet, hot,” Yes, I have a type and he is it. Not sure how we would go though as I am only 4‘11“ tall.. still I wouldn’t mind him giving me a length…

        (I love her boots and top!_)
        I hope it works out for her this time. She is finally with a confident and dynamic, man, rather than all those weedy boys she’s had.

      • Mtl.Ex.Pat says:

        She’s always had the worst hair, I agree! Swim cap comment – hilarious.

    • Arizona says:

      yeah, he’s a huge dude who’s used to getting hit by other huge dudes. while she def still needs her security, I’d say she probably feels safer alone with him than any other guy she’s dated. I know I would.

      plus I just love that she can wear high heels and is still looking up at him haha.

      • Smalltowngirl says:

        I think the fact that she let him take for a spin in his old school convertible shows that she trusts him and she was definitely leaning into him at points, she is getting used to having a big, protective boyfriend who is used to dodging other big men for a living.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        Travis is definitely bigger than the security guys I’ve seen. The tight end position initially started as a blocker on the offense. Protect the QB, RB WR. Protection first. Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten and others come to mind that made the TE position a very important utility player. Travis was suspended for a year in college for testing positive for weed.lol I just find weed testing very funny and I don’t even partake. Travis was a QB prior to his suspension @ University of Cincinnati. After his suspension, he was made a TE. Just saying, it’s in his nature to protect and since he’s the one to have pursued Taylor-he’s unabashedly protecting his QB in his love life. After watching his SNL charity commercial..damn. Please, Travis, throw me over your shoulder and tell me I’m only 80 pounds.

        Travis is good people. Travis made Taylor more interesting to me.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        He’s a huge dude who made a choice to complete a degree. At first, a while back, I was like, this sounds like a bs degree. Until I read about his degree. Yah, Rodger’s put up your fisticuffs against TK . Have fun with that.

  4. SAS says:

    Traylor seems unbalanced to me- it’s too easy for the eye to just read it as Taylor. Travlor looks like a pharmaceutical though and Tayvis is equally bad. They have broken celeb couple portmanteaus (hooray!).

    • Shawna says:

      Tayvis makes sense to me!

    • Kath says:

      I have heard “Swelce” being used as the moniker of choice, which has a certain ring to it.

      Look how happy and chill Travis looks in the top photo! He’s not stressed at all, probably knowing he could knee-cap anyone who got too close.

    • Mina says:

      I love T&T or TnT, but most people seem to be gravitating towards a more traditional portmanteau like Swelce and Tayvis

    • Concern Fae says:

      Traylor is also too close to Kaylor, which we all need to be able to memory hole. (No shame to Kaylor truthers, keep those fanfics going, but everyone else wants to move on.)

    • Dark n stormy says:

      Or TKTS — they both sell a lot of them…

  5. Kaiser says:

    Yeah, I corrected it, jeez, the Eagles lost. I don’t watch football, never claimed to be a football fan!

  6. Holz says:

    They look cute together. Bonus: She can wear heels and he’s still taller!

  7. Princess Caroline says:

    They are cute as hell together & I love this for her. You just know Trav is laying it down. I also like that he was the one that pursued her and they’re both able & good at dealing with massive amounts of success & publicity.

    • Von Barron says:

      +1
      I have never been invested in Taylor’s relationships or that of any athletes… but these two are somehow incredibly hot.

    • StillDouchesOfCambridge says:

      Taylor and joe aylwin was so freakin incredibly boring boring boring, her and the toxic music guy was so so so wrong for her, so it just makes it so easy for us to absolutely love travis, and these 2 together, and we want it so much for taylor that she finds her forever love.

    • MF says:

      The fact that he seems so into her and isn’t bothered by her greater fame and fortune is a good sign. Insecure men often can’t handle being with successful women. He seems very secure and confident.

    • Elisa the I. says:

      I’m kinda shocked how much I’m enjoying these two together. He looks sooooo happy and both seem to be very comfortable with each other.

  8. Olivia says:

    In the best possible way, Travis seems like the complete opposite of every other guy she’s ever been with. I really like this for her.

    • Truthiness says:

      Completely.

    • KC says:

      I’m a teacher who is starting a week off of fall break and just coming up for air (I may need to switch careers at this point😓) so I’m all wide-eyes going “wait! What happened to toxic music guy? When did this happen? What is going on with this assertive, protective guy? How did she find him?” Yes, he seems to be the complete opposite of ALL the guys she’s ever dated. This guy could be the one she’s been looking for or at the very least the one who leads her to him and helps her realize what she was doing/looking for in the past wasn’t working for her. This is the most interested I’ve ever been in her romantic affairs.

      About to do a juggle of report card grades, comments and a deep dive into the articles here on this relationship!

      • AnneL says:

        Maybe Taylor is about to have her own personal “You Belong With Me” moment, with her as the guy and Travis (or whoever) as the narrator….

        “waiting for the day when you wake up and find that what you’re looking for has been here the whole time!”

        sorry I couldn’t resist…..

      • SAS says:

        @KC, the first I heard of this dude was him talking in a podcast interview about attending Taylor’s concert and being disappointed he couldn’t meet her meet her to give her a friendship bracelet he’d made with his phone number on it. I suspect she sent a lil DM after that and it’s been going on the last 2-3 months although it’s only been public the last few weeks.

        Dirty Matty ended after a couple of months whenever his band left to tour Europe. After a few more nonsense stunts from him, the band has since announced they’re going on a break!

  9. Denise says:

    They look like a couple of teenagers that were caught by their parents (in this case paparazzi), happy and a tiny bit smug. I love it!

  10. Louise177 says:

    Why is every move they make is being reported? It’s ridiculous. I really don’t get why people are so obsessed.

    • Kath says:

      It’s because the whole world is a dumpster fire at the moment. This is the ONE nice thing that’s happening and we want to enjoy it!

    • SAS says:

      I didn’t really think it was worth that much attention until I saw a tweet that was like “I feel like Gen Z is getting their Posh and Becks moment and I’m happy for them” to which I died laughing and am now all in lol.

      • Jais says:

        Ok, that’s funny. Maybe instead of a full portmanteau, they should be like Posh and Becks. So Tay and Trav.

      • sKath says:

        Ugh, I’ve seen that “this generation’s Beckhams” comment posted everywhere. Someone certainly thinks they’ve come up with a zinger, but it’s a poor comparison.

  11. girl_ninja says:

    They seem really comfortable with each other and that is so important in a relationship. I’ll say that from the photos that I saw of Travis and Kayla he seemed as protective of her as well. I don’t know why it ended but, that’s what I saw.

  12. Miranda says:

    Dammit, I love a protective guy. As long as it’s in a genuinely caring and respectful way, of course. I worry that admitting that could make me sound like a bad feminist, but f–k it. You can be an independent, assertive woman but still appreciate the reassurance that you don’t necessarily HAVE to be that way at all times, you know?

    As a Swiftie, I really hope Taylor’s working on some songs right now, because I want some loved-up new material from her!

    • Kate says:

      The world is not safe for women, whether they are feminists or not, and I don’t think it makes you un-feminist to appreciate guys who recognize that and look out for their partners.

    • AnneL says:

      That doesn’t make you a bad feminist. Like Kate said, the world isn’t safe for women. And Taylor has had stalkers and can’t step out in public without people being overwhelmed by a scrum of reporters. Yes, she has bodyguards; but having her partner be tall, protective and physically able to muscle away anybody who gets too close is probably quite reassuring.

  13. Bettyrose says:

    Anyone else see the AITA about the adult man at the Eras movie complaining to management about the little girls in the theater being too rowdy? And the internet told this grown ass adult man to mind his own because he was in their space? Loved it. Swifty culture is growing on me (if not the music itself).

    • Dee says:

      I haven’t, but I’m looking that one up! The theater where we watched the film was very chill, but we were at an early showing on Friday. I wish it had been more little girl rowdy, but we had fun nonetheless.

  14. Libra says:

    I just have an intuitive uneasy feeling about these two. He appears completely smitten and she is, well, not so much, for lack of better word choice. This will fizzle out when she goes out of the country on the next tour leg. Her absence will be a good excuse to have a quiet quit.

    • Iris says:

      @libra I hope you’re not right because I love them together. I’m hoping she’s done enough work/therapy to realise that love doesn’t have to mean drama. I know for years (until I was 33, actually?!) I kept going for men who weren’t emotionally available. I had such low self esteem that I automatically thought that any guy who was interested in me must be a loser. It took me a minute before I decided I actually wanted someone kind, who loved me unconditionally.

      I hope taylor is there. I really think these two are a match made in heaven

    • bettyrose says:

      Sadly, I have that vibe too. He pursued her, he’s smitten, and she’s enjoying the ride, but realistically, she’s experiencing outer-stratospheric success right now, and I don’t think her romance light is on. It’s a shame because he seems like a really solid guy who can handle a much more famous partner. Let’s not pretend that’s easy to find.

    • Flamingo says:

      That’s the narrative another gossip blogger is pushing. They will done by the time she starts her European leg.

      I hope they stick it out with her touring and his Football schedule. They seem so easy and comfortable together.

      I am rooting for them!

      • Normades says:

        I Hope not. I think they’ll still be in a honeymoon stage when she goes back on tour and distance sometimes makes the heart grow fonder.
        Anyways Taylor knows how to read a room and is definitely enjoying being seen as being wooed and sees how popular this coupling is. At the very least she’ll hang on a while for that. But I do think she’s into him.

    • AnneL says:

      Aw, I hope not. I agree he seems more smitten than she does, but she has shown up to three of his games so it’s not like she isn’t putting in any effort. Maybe she’ll think she can quietly quit him while she’s gone, only to find herself really missing him? All of the fame and excitement of touring is great, but it’s nice to have some stability too. He seems rock solid to me!

      • QuiteContrary says:

        He IS rock solid, and his family is, too.

        I know I keep joking that Jason is the superior Kelce brother (I’m an Eagles fan, so yesterday’s game was brutal). But both Kelce brothers are adorable. They love each other, they love their mom, they are good human beings.

        I hope this relationship sticks. It’s so fun.

      • Iris says:

        Do you not think her relationship light is on? Because I think it is. She’s about to turn 34, she’s at the height of her career, she’s literally on a Greatest Hits tour of all her albums. I think this would be the perfect time to step away for a year or two, get married, and have a baby if that’s what she wants.

      • Lux says:

        I think she’s into him but also a little scared and shy. Football players have a reputation (as does she, ha) and I think a part of her is still stuck in high school, not fully believing herself to be a footballer’s type. She’s always been with artists and that’s her comfort zone. Hope they’re both enjoying the novelty! Eons ago when I was single, anytime I dated guys outside my “list” or “box” was the most fun I ever had (for the record, my hubby is/was slightly off-list, so it can work long term!).

    • girl_ninja says:

      I thought this too but I saw a video of Taylor and Blake during the KC vs NYJ game. She and Blake were giddy as f!ck. The way she holds onto him in that SNL/Nobu pap video tells me she’s into him too. But we shall see.

      • Truthiness says:

        💯 agree about their body language, she’s really into this. It doesn’t hurt that he could flatten every one of her exes with little effort.

      • AnneL says:

        There was a video of them getting into the car Saturday night, either after the restaurant or the SNL party. Taylor is already in the car and Travis is kind of talking to whoever is standing by the car with him, then you see her arm reach over and pull him in, lol. I don’t know if she was just impatient or it was “get in here next to me now!” but it was funny.

      • bettyrose says:

        IDK why I’m even invested in this, but I actually would love it if they work out. After Brad/Angie and JJ/Sophie, I won’t even pretend I can read a couple through gossip sites, but I’d actually love to be wrong that he’s more invested than she is. There’s nothing better than finding your true partner.

    • MinnieMouse says:

      Not sure I would judge her vibe off of pap photos – she always looks stressed in them, particularly at night (I have to imagine the strobe light effect is rather intense). Her vibe watching him at the games is deeply gleeful and very focused on him.

  15. A says:

    This whole thing feels like a romance novel and I’m so here for it! I’ve never been interested in the dynamics of a Taylor relationship before this one but you can feel the chemistry from the videos on Twitter.

  16. Mandy says:

    I am not a Swiftie nor have I ever been interested in her love life but this guy with her is hot, hot, hot! I mean…I think she is way into him too, she seems kind of shy and coy while walking with him, they ooze chemistry!! Anyway, call them whatever you want but I totally ship them and want them to go the distance!! They are a welcome distraction in all the worlds heartbreak and madness…bring it on! XOXO

    • Hexicon says:

      I agree. I don’t follow sports at all and I’d never heard of him, but the more I hear the more I like. He did a Bud Light ad after the controversy and he promotes vaccination/took down Aaron Rodgers for being anti vax. And he seems like a big friendly hunk. Good luck you two crazy kids!

  17. Shannon says:

    I am so sick of her and whoever she’s hooking up with this week.

  18. VilleRose says:

    Well he seems very happy and pleased with himself, like the cat that got the canary. I don’t care if it’s fake, real, or something in between. Taylor doesn’t seem unhappy either, if she didn’t want to be visible on his arm she wouldn’t be. This might be some kind of “revenge” on Joe but I hope she’s having fun/maybe even falling in love in the process. I don’t think a relationship of hers has been this fun since Tom Hiddleston, which burned too brightly and flamed out. Here’s hoping this one has some staying power! Even if it doesn’t I’ll keep following Travis, I’m weirdly invested in his happiness now lol.

  19. CROWHOOD says:

    These comments are wild. If you’re into this gossip- enjoy! If you aren’t – keep scrolling! The intensity with which people want to yuck other’s yum is getting weirder and weirder.

  20. J.ferber says:

    Just read some gossip that Travis was cheap AF with his ex Kayla Nicole and he claimed they helped each other out financially. That sounds hella shady since he has about 100 million dollars and she . . .does not. In a deleted post she wrote that she was on a yacht with Travis wearing a $50 Zara outfit. Good thing Taylor will soon be a billionaire so cheap-ass Travis won’t have to be generous financially. This makes me like him less. He was with Kayla for five years and he was a skinflint with her. He sure dresses himself with no concern for expense!

    • Girlgal says:

      Travis and Kayla literally both came out publicly and said those rumours were false

    • Iris says:

      Both Travis and Kayla publicly denied this, she tweeted saying it was false

      https://nypost.com/2023/01/10/travis-kelce-denies-being-cheap-with-ex-girlfriend-kayla-nicole/amp/

    • AnneL says:

      I heard him say that was not an issue between them and the she was financially secure on her own. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with wearing a $50 Zara outfit. I’m sure she looked great in it. Apparently she has denied this rumor too. It’s almost a little insulting to her since she seems to have a good career and doesn’t need anyone to be spending big on her. She can take care of herself.

      I don’t know. He doesn’t come from money and he might be cautious with it. Sure, he has a big house and wears expensive clothes but he doesn’t seem to be excessive with his spending considering how much money he makes. And Kansas City doesn’t have crazy housing prices like so many other places do. A big house in KC and a condo in Florida seems reasonable for someone with his income, especially one who doesn’t currently have children to support,.

  21. Genessa says:

    Serious question, what is he always whispering to her??? Right and wrong answers appreciated….

    Every picture he is whispering in her ear….
