Taylor Swift ends social media silence with Natalia Bryant support as Travis Kelce relationship faces fan scrutiny
Taylor Swift makes a social media comeback amid questions about her and Travis Kelce relationship (Getty Images) After weeks of silence following her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has reappeared online — and fans are thrilled. The pop superstar broke her social media hiatus with a subtle but telling gesture: liking a TikTok video shared by Natalia Bryant, daughter of NBA legend Kobe Bryant. The post, a lighthearted graduation clip featuring Natalia and her friends lip-syncing to Swift's 'Nothing New (Taylor's Version),' has now become the unexpected center of fan buzz. A rare social media like from Taylor Swift sparks excitement amid whispers about her relationship with Travis Kelce Dressed in white dresses and USC commencement stoles, Natalia and her friends struck a celebratory tone that resonated deeply with Swift's lyrics — particularly the line about feeling uncertain at 22 despite once thinking you knew everything at 18. Fans immediately interpreted the like as a "signal of life" from Swift, who's kept a low profile lately. 'TAYLOR FINALLY LIKED A NEW VIDEO,' one fan exclaimed. Another commented, 'Taylor is alive,' capturing the collective excitement of Swifties hungry for signs of activity from their icon. Fans wonder if Taylor Swift is showing enough public support for Travis Kelce's career outside the NFL While Swift's support for Natalia made waves, it also reignited conversations about her own relationship. Some fans questioned whether she's giving boyfriend Travis Kelce the same kind of public backing. Kelce, who has been expanding into entertainment with appearances in shows like Grotesquerie and Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?, has openly expressed his admiration for Swift on his podcast and in interviews. In contrast, some fans feel Swift hasn't reciprocated that visibility — at least not in a way they're used to seeing. 'She supports her friends' projects vocally. Why not Travis?' one Reddit user asked, highlighting how Swift's selective online engagement might be impacting perceptions of the couple. Others speculated that Swift might address this in July with a nod to Happy Gilmore 2, Kelce's upcoming project. To counter the swirling rumors — including recent speculation of a pregnancy — Swift and Kelce made a rare public appearance together. Spotted in Philadelphia with Kelce's family, including mom Donna and brother Jason, the couple kept things casual during a dinner outing at Talula's Garden.

Taylor Swift Breaks Social Media Hiatus Amid Fan Concern Over Her Relationship With Travis Kelce
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.
