Taylor Swift just gave her fans something to be excited about!
The billionaire broke her social media fast for an irresistible like on Natalia Bryant's graduation video, as reports of relationship troubles with her footballer boyfriend filled the air.
Taylor Swift's reemergence comes as fans speculate if the talented musician is pulling her weight in supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his endeavors off the football field.
On May 18, Natalia, Kobe Bryant's eldest daughter, shared a TikTok video of herself lip-syncing to Taylor Swift's song "Nothing New (Taylor's Version)" alongside three friends.
The video captured the group of recent USC graduates, all dressed in matching white minidresses and adorned with red-and-gold commencement stoles, celebrating their achievement with smiles and raised hands.
The song's lyrics resonate with Natalia, as they reflect the common feelings of uncertainty experienced by new graduates, particularly the lines about knowing everything at 18 but feeling lost at 22.
Swift's surprise engagement with the post by liking it thrilled her fans, especially since she had been stepping back from the public eye after completing her record-breaking Eras tour.
"So we all just stalking Taylor's likes," one elated fan wrote. Another commenter added excitedly, "TAYLOR FINALLY LIKED A NEW VIDEO." A third fan declared, "TAYLOR IS ALIVE."
A fourth fan described Swift liking the video as "a cute sign of life," as a fifth wondered if the star finally remembered her TikTok password.
Meanwhile, Swift's boyfriend, Kelce, is also enjoying a break from his NFL duties, allowing the couple to spend quality time together.
Swift and the NFL star have been in a relationship for over a year, which has opened up new opportunities for Kelce outside of football. According to The Blast, he has recently appeared in projects such as "Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?" and "Grotesquerie," with an upcoming role in "Happy Gilmore 2."
However, some fans have raised concerns about Swift's support for Kelce's ventures. One fan expressed on Reddit that while Swift actively cheers for her friends' projects, she has not promoted Kelce's work in the same way.
They pointed out that Kelce frequently mentions Swift in interviews and on his New Heights podcast, whereas she rarely acknowledges him publicly. Although she has liked posts about his NFL achievements, the fan noted that she has not taken the time to comment on his entertainment projects.
They speculated that maybe Swift's team is monitoring fan discussions, and suggested that she might promote "Happy Gilmore 2" in July as a response to these observations.
More users emphasised that Swift has a long history of skillfully managing her public image, which may make her relationship appear scripted.
Although the user doubted her genuine feelings, they believed that the relationship holds significance for Kelce, who likely revels in the attention it brings.
Another commenter added a critique of the NFL player's entertainment career, comparing it unfavorably to the higher-profile exes of his partner.
They humorously highlighted that his achievements in Hollywood thus far are modest, raising doubts about her willingness to publicly embrace the relationship when it does not align with her usual standards.
Possibly fed up with the false reports of a bun in the oven, Kelce and Swift decided to step out on Mother's Day in Philadelphia with his family.
As shared by The Blast, the couple was accompanied by Kelce's mom, Donna, his brother and former NFL player, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce. The couple's low-key outing marked their first public appearance since March.
The Grammy winner kept things cute and casual in a black floral mini-dress paired with a black Chanel purse and a gold chain. Her boyfriend looked dapper in a casual fit and rocked a longer hairstyle.
The squad reportedly had dinner at Talula's Garden, and pictures from their family bonding time made rounds on social media. The images earned multiple reactions from the singer's fans, most of whom expressed relief that the couple were still together and thriving.
Kelce's growing tresses also earned positive nods from Swift's fans, who compared him to a charming Disney prince.
Weeks before she finally broke her public outing hiatus, the singer's name was the topic of a baby bump speculation. A Dallas-based fashion brand, Terry Costa, a study revealed that Swift led the nation in baby bump-related Google searches, averaging 1,410 inquiries per month.
This study, which used SEMRush Explorer to analyze search data over the past year, proved how captivated fans are by the idea of Swift becoming a mom.
According to a spokesperson from Terry Costa, the findings show that public curiosity about celebrities' personal lives can often rival their professional accomplishments. The research also identified Swift, Beyoncé, and Ashanti as the top celebrities in baby bump search trends among Americans.
Beyoncé reportedly ranked second after Swift with 1,160 average monthly searches, while Ashanti secured third place with 590. Other notable mentions in the search trends included Hailey Bieber with 360 searches and Ella Mai with 320.
