Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's Rare Outing Will Fill That Blank Space
You may need to calm down over this rare sighting of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
The couple has surfaced in Philadelphia. A fan shared a photo of the "Blank Space" singer and Kansas City Chiefs star tight end inside the restaurant Talula's Garden on TikTok May 11, Mother's Day 2025. This marks the first time new pics of the pair have surfaced in almost two months.
Taylor wore a black, floral Christy Dawn "Nicks" maxi dress. Travis sported a light collared shirt. The two were photographed in front of a table with ceramic pitchers bearing a floral design, and in front of a large wooden containers of sunflowers and other plants.
The pair, who have been dating since mid-2023, have kept a low profile in recent months. Taylor and Travis have rarely been spotted out in public since February, when his NFL team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl, which his girlfriend attended. The two were last photographed together March 14 while on a date night New York City.
In April, Travis made a rare public appearance without Taylor, joining his brother Jason Kelce and several friends, including Justin Timberlake, at the "SexyBack" singer's annual 8AM Invitational celebrity golf tournament in Las Vegas, where their star-studded team beat Olympian Michael Phelps'.
During his time in Vegas, the Chiefs star showcased his dance moves on the golf course and enjoyed a guys night out taking part in the 8AM Invitational After Dark event at the Wynn Las Vegas casino.
Earlier this month, fans hoped Taylor and Travis would make an appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, which could have marked their red carpet debut as a couple. However, the two did not attend the annual star-studded event, which was held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. (See every star that did attend the 2025 Met Gala here.)
Meanwhile, Travis continues to make weekly appearances on his and Jason's New Heights podcast, where they recently had their mom Donna Kelce on as a guest ahead of Mother's Day. On the May 7 episode, she took the opportunity to embarrass them about their dating history.
“Jason, you didn’t really bring a lot of ladies home," Donna said. "You dated but I didn’t know any of them. With Trav, I met one or two. I knew nothing of anybody you guys were dating in college. You told me zero."
Donna has met Taylor several times and the two have often cheered on Travis together at Chiefs games.
Look back at the couple's romance.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
"I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future."
Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.
As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."
By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were "texting and talking here and there."
"It's been very low-key," the insider explained, "as he's been in season."
Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.
Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand.
As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
As an indication that the relationship was heating up, Taylor brought her squad—including friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski—to watch the Chiefs play against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Another sign that Travis could be The 1? Taylor started bonding with Brittany Mahomes—the wife of Travis' BFF and teammate Patrick Mahomes—in and outside of NFL games.
The couple took their romance to TV, making a surprise appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Saturday Night Live. Their Big Apple takeover also included the after-party for the NBC sketch show and a date night at the Waverly Inn.
During a bye week, Travis traveled down to Argentina to catch the South American leg of Taylor's Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad, Scott Swift, at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage.
"Karma is that guy on the Chiefs," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me."
After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss.
Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games.
"I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone."
The music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man.
Taylor and Travis spent their first New Year's Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1.
Continuing to bond with Travis' family, Taylor hung out with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills.
Taylor joined Travis on the football field when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship, a victory that cemented the team's spot in the 2024 Super Bowl. The couple shared a celebratory kiss before exchanging the L-word.
"Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys," he told her. "I love you—so much it's not funny."
The pair locked lips on the field after Travis led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas.
Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media for the first time Feb. 12, poking fun at how she took her parents clubbing with the athlete after the Super Bowl.
Taylor's first Instagram pic featuring Travis was a selfie of the two with Prince William and his and wife Kate Middleton's eldest kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage at the singer's Eras tour show at Wembley Stadium in London.
While attending his seventh Eras tour concert, and second show at London's Wembley Stadium, the NFL star joined his girlfriend onstage as a backup performer during her performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
Taylor joined Travis for the Chief's first game of the regular 2024-25 season and appeared to re-enact a PDA moment from October 2023 in this photo shared by Chariah Gordon, who is pictured with her boyfriend, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman.
The two attended model Karen Elson's wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster in New York City.
The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.
The pair stepped out for two back-to-back dates in New York City over the last weekend of 2024, matching outfits both times.
