But sometimes, even the sweetest intentions can go hilariously wrong — and that's exactly what happened during one of their recent public outings.
A kiss gone wrong: Travis Kelce's awkward moment leaves fans cringing
In a moment that was likely meant to be private and tender, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end leaned in to kiss Swift on the head. However, things didn't exactly go as planned. Taylor subtly shifted just before the kiss landed, causing Kelce to plant a smooch somewhere in her hair — and leaving him puckered up midair.
The brief exchange immediately triggered a wave of secondhand embarrassment for those watching.
Not exactly a touchdown moment for Kelce, but to his credit, he tried to recover quickly. He slid behind Taylor and wrapped his arms around her in a back hug — but the damage was done. Taylor didn't react, and the moment fizzled into what many on social media are now calling an "awkward PDA blooper."
Fans weigh in: 'He could do better'
As expected, the internet had a field day.
Some fans felt the kiss mishap revealed an uncomfortable dynamic between the two, while others laughed it off as a harmless misfire. 'He could do better,' one commenter wrote, echoing a sentiment that sparked debate across fan forums and TikTok videos.
Despite the viral flub, the couple seems to be enjoying some quality downtime away from the spotlight. Reports suggest that Kelce and Swift are spending their offseason days at Kelce's luxurious $20 million rental in Boca Raton, Florida, possibly with family in tow — a detail that has only fueled speculation about their deepening relationship.

While Swifties were hoping for a surprise album drop at the American Music Awards — where Taylor was nominated six times — she skipped the show altogether. No new music, no public appearance, just time spent with Kelce under the Florida sun.

Livvy Dunne, 22, breaks down in tears over ‘middle-aged men' stalking her at airports
Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne fears she is being 'stalked' every time she goes to an airport. The former LSU gymnast opened up on being chased down by a group of 'middle-aged men' for autographs in an emotional video shared with her eight million followers on TikTok Friday. 'I fear that I'm being stalked and I don't know what to do,' Dunne said in the video captioned, 'They know time, place, airport, everything!!!' The 22-year-old made headlines earlier this year for making her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover debut. In the now-viral TikTok video, a visibly emotional Dunne revealed how a group of 'at least 10 middle-aged men' would demand that she sign 'a stack of 40 pictures or magazines.' If she refused to comply, they would run after her and 'yell.' 'They will run after me down the TSA precheck line and yell at me if I don't give them my autograph,' she went on, adding, 'It's insane. They will yell at me and make a scene, and the people around me are scared.' The LSU Tigers women's team alum claimed that her 'stalkers' know every detail about her trips, adding that they would wait for her at airports, whether she is going on a business trip or a family vacation. 'They're waiting there. It's something with the airline, and it's weird,' Dunne said before explaining that men would be waiting for her at odd locations in different cities. In the clip, she included a video of herself filmed earlier in the day, where she was crying in the car following an unsettling encounter with her alleged stalkers. 'Yes I know I'm chronically online and I post my life, but I'm talking about like a 20-minute connecting flight through Omaha, Nebraska, they would be waiting there,' Dunne shared. 'I'm not making content on a connecting flight. I'm talking about the most random cities.'
