Taylor Swift fans worry about singer's whereabouts after Travis Kelce spotted without her once again
Travis Kelce was spotted in New York City wearing a very Taylor Swift -esque outfit earlier today. And yet Swift herself was noticeably absent from the pictures. In fact, fans have taken notice that - aside from a quick clip of the couple enjoying a date night in Utah in March - Swift hasn't been photographed with Kelce, both 35, in a while. The latest snaps of the Kansas City Chiefs star - donning a white sweater and slacks - were taken as he strolled through the streets of NYC. While it appears that Kelce was somewhere in the neighborhood of Swift's Tribeca residence, the country star was nowhere to be found. But this isn't the first time that he has been spotted going solo in recent weeks. Kelce was making headlines just a few days ago thanks to his 'boys trip' to Las Vegas to take part in Justin Timberlake's 2025 8AM Golf Invitational. Timberlake posted a now-viral video of him and Kelce dancing and singing into their golf clubs on Instagram - all set to Midnight Star's 1984 song 'Curious.' Taylor Swift fans have been flocking to social media to demand answers on where the singer might be When asked about his trip - which also featured his brother, Jason Kelce - he said that he 'always feels at home' in Vegas. And while everyone needs a little getaway, Swifties (and everyone else who's used the hashtag 'Tayvis') have been flocking to social media to demand answers on where Swift might be. Some users on X, formerly Twitter, have been making simple 'where is Taylor Swift?' posts with others opting for a more frantic, 'where in the world is Taylor Swift?' A few fans are even tweeting out their own theories including one who wrote, 'My delulu a** is telling me that since no-one seems to know where on earth Taylor Swift is right now, she's been hiding in Sydney and is going to pop up at Gracie Abram's Sydney show tonight to sing "us" and then announce Rep TV while she's at it.' All of this worry for Taylor also comes coupled with speculation that the couple may have called it quits. One worried X user tweeted, 'Wait did Taylor and Travis break up?' But others are defending the couple's relationship and encouraging others to stop sounding the alarm. One fan tweeted, 'I want y'all to get ready for this weekend where we might see Travis without Taylor. THEY'RE FINE and they love each other. But others are defending the couple's relationship and encouraging others to stop sounding the alarm 'It's totally normal for them to enjoy things separately, it doesn't mean anything. Thank you.' Sources close to the couple have also told Page Six that their relationship is still going strong. 'They're still so in love and enjoying spending time with their friends and each other during the offseason,' the outlet reported. 'There's no trouble at all.' As of right now, there are no reports on whether Swift will be at the upcoming 2025 Met Gala or not - especially as she's been absent the past few years due to scheduling conflicts with tours. So fans will just have to see what next public outing - whether it's a red carpet or lowkey dinner date - they see their favorite couple at.
