New Photo of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift at Wedding on Friday
New Photo of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift at Wedding on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Friday evening, fans have been circulating this candid photo of Taylor Swift at a wedding in Nashville, Tennessee. The picture was originally posted to TikTok by a wedding guest, but was deleted an hour later. As the photo made its way through X, many fans encouraged users to delete it because the wedding was still ongoing, and they wanted to respect the couple's privacy and safety. According to fans and TikTok comments, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Swift, his girlfriend of almost two years, were attending Kelce's cousin's wedding. As the ceremony goes on, more TikToks and photos from the wedding have emerged, including this zoomed-up picture of Kelce walking with Swift, standing a few feet away from him, talking to another wedding guest. Many fans have taken notice that Kelce's physical appearance has changed since things started getting serious with Swift. In this evening's ceremony, the tight end is seen wearing a light olive-green and white striped short-sleeved button-up shirt with a pair of brown pants. Meanwhile, Swift stunned in a sleeveless baby blue midi dress with pink flowers and a pair of brown wedges. Her wavy hair was worn down and she seemed to be wearing a simple gold bracelet on her wrist in other photos. The couple has been trying to keep a relatively low profile since the end of Swift's "Eras Tour" in December 2024 and Kelce and the Chiefs losing the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles in February, they have been spotted in Palm Beach, Florida, quite frequently these past couple of weeks. On Wednesday evening, the couple was seen enjoying a dinner date at Buccan, with Swift wearing a black mini dress and a pair of nude wedges. Then on May 23, they were spotted eating together at Harry's Bar and Restaurant, sitting side-by-side in a booth and enjoying their night.

Fans Notice the Same Thing About Taylor Swift During Travis Kelce Date Night on Wednesday
Fans Notice the Same Thing About Taylor Swift During Travis Kelce Date Night on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After several months of staying away from the public eye, Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce have been surfacing more and more of late. Their most recent public appearance came on Wednesday night after the two were spotted out on a date in Florida, just the two of them. Several photos of the happy couple having dinner are currently circulating online, as well as a video of them leaving the restaurant. The 13-second clip quickly turned heads on social media as fans shared their reaction to the couple's latest night out in public. More than a few of them, however, focused on what Swift was wearing as they noticed the same thing about her appearance on the evening. The quality of the video wasn't exactly exceptional, but fans were still able to make out Swift's short, strapless black dress, which appears to feature a sweetheart neckline, a flared mini skirt and a fitted bodice. The folks on social media were quick to complement the "Fortnight" singer on her latest fashion statement. "This dress! So cute 🤍" a comment on X read. "ok little black dress!!!!" said another. "OH MY GOD HER SEXY LITTLE BLACK DRESS," a user wrote. "she's so cute!!! in her little black dress!!!! and then there's those pants🧍🏻♀️" a reaction read. "I love a little black dress okay!!!" another said. "The dress 😮💨" a fan commented. Swift and Kelce are spending as much time together while they still can. Kelce is expected to rejoin the Chiefs for their mandatory minicamp later this month, which will mean more time apart for the couple. Until then, it appears that they are making the most of the time they have. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 5, 2025, where it first appeared.
