Taylor Swift didn’t stay very long in New Orleans after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl defeat. On Monday, the singer was photographed boarding her private plane at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Daily Mail ran pics of her being covered by a group of people carrying black umbrellas. Swift’s partner, Travis Kelce, was not spotted with her.
Both Swift and Kelce have kept a low profile following Sunday’s game. And Swift isn’t about to have a big week getting photographed at New York City restaurants; Daily Mail reported that Swift’s plane was bound for Nashville, Tennessee.
Page Six, meanwhile, reported that Kelce went back to his hotel after the game. “Most of the players skipped the [Chiefs’] after-party, including Travis and Patrick [Mahomes],” a source told the outlet. “Everyone just went back to their rooms or Airbnbs and just stayed in.”
That night, Kelce FaceTimed the party’s headliner, The Chainsmokers, who shared footage on TikTok. The tight end revealed he was with DJ Dom Dolla.
Swift and Kelce are now both free of any travel commitments for work. Swift finished her Eras Tour in December, while Kelce just completed his NFL season. The 35-year-old player has not revealed whether he will be retiring. In January, he shut down speculation that Swift was pushing him to hang up his jersey.
“She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” he said on The Stephen A. Smith Show. “She loves coming to Arrowhead [Stadium] and coming to the games and cheering for me so I’ve got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”
Yesterday, a source told Page Six that the couple is excited to have some downtime together. “Taylor and Travis are going to take some time away to vacation with just the two of them, talk about their future, and just relax,” the insider said.
The source shared the pair’s plans “to focus on some alone time to just be together” while they both have lighter work schedules. Swift and Kelce “are looking forward to getting away from all the distractions and being by themselves.”
The singer’s view of Kelce hasn’t changed following the Chiefs’ 22-40 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Swift “knows how hard [Kelce has] worked all season and was thrilled to be at the Super Bowl to show her support,” the source said. “Taylor knows Travis took this loss very hard, but she couldn’t be more proud of him regardless of the outcome.”
