Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce looked as loved-up as ever as they enjoyed a romantic break to Lake Como, Italy this week – amid a break in the European leg of her The Eras Tour.
The superstar singer and the Kansas City Chiefs star, both 34, were seen enjoying an alfresco private dinner date outside a €20,000 a night villa at the five star Grand Hotel Tremezzo – just days after Travis’ teammate Harrison Butker was slammed for a ‘bigoted and misogynistic’ speech quoting the singer’s lyrics.
A smitten Taylor stared into Travis’s eyes as they held hands across the table before tucking into their meals. Adding to the fairytale of the evening, candles were seen surrounding the table as the couple chatted. Cruel Summer hitmaker Taylor looked elegant in a blue puffed shoulder dress, with her hair worn in an elegant updo,
Tight end Travis wore a cream sweater and black slacks for his dinner date. The couple – who started dating last summer, were later seen walking down the street arm-in-arm, as Travis planted a kiss on his girlfriend. Taylor held her partner’s hand as they spoke intimately before returning to their villa.
The star will resume her tour in Stockholm, Sweden at Friends Arena on May 17, 18, and 19. Travis has jetted to Europe with his girlfriend to support her on tour and was seen dancing with Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper during the star’s performances in Paris last week. Taylor was seen blowing kisses at her boyfriend – who was in a VIP box – as she performed track, So High School – which is about their flourishing romance.
The Kansas City Chiefs player reflected on his trip across the pond while chatting to Jason Kelce on Wednesday’s episode of the New Heights podcast. ‘I had a blast at Tay’s show, the new rendition of the Eras Tour – I suggest everyone go see it,’ he gushed. ‘It has her new Tortured Poets Department, a handful of those songs, in the new show, which means there’s a new segment, new lights, new dancing, new everything to the f***ing show,’ he went on.
‘It’s absolutely unbelievable, I enjoyed every bit of it.’ The tight end later defended filming his girlfriend’s performance with his camera flash on. Jason described it as an ‘Ed Kelce move,’ in reference to the brothers’ dad. ‘You know, the settings on the camera … if it’s dark, it’s going to automatically put the flash on. I don’t understand, I was just trying to get some good video, some good memories,’ he laughed.
‘I don’t know if [the shows] are getting better or if I just keep forgetting how they are [but] it was electric in there … It looks like they’re having so much fun up there, and they’re absolutely killing it.’ The three-time Super Bowl champ, who started dating the pop star last summer, has been in attendance at several Eras Tour shows after Swift showed up for him at almost every Chiefs game last season.
The romantic outing comes after Kansas City Chiefs star Butker, 28, received an onslaught from Swift fans for using her lyrics in his controversial commencement speech. Butker delivered the speech at Benedictine College on May 11 and was immediately slammed for criticizing women, taking aim at the LGBTQ+ community, and criticizing US President Joe Biden for supporting abortion. Without naming the 14-time Grammy winner, Butker referenced Swift’s relationship with his teammate Kelce before quoting her 2022 song Bejeweled.
