Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Las Vegas PDA Video Goes Viral

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have continued their tour of Las Vegas and were seen holding hands on their way to an event.

The singer and NFL star, both 34, were in the Nevada city to attend a range of fundraising events hosted by Patrick Mahomes, Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammate.

On X, formerly Twitter, the fan account Taylor Swift Updates posted a video of the couple's hand-holding. The video was later shared by Pop Base, an entertainment news account, and received more than 650,000 views—with fans gushing over the couple's public display of affection.

The pair, which one fan called "THE AMERICAN COUPLE," attended an event Friday that unconfirmed reports suggested was Katy Perry's live show.

A user commented on X, "I love how they never stop holding hands."

"Bro is sticking his hand like her songs are doing on the billboards rn," another added.

On April 27, Mahomes hosted the Mahomies Foundation Vegas Golf Classic, followed by a gala dinner, where Kelce was praised for his attention to Swift.

A lip-reader analyzed the event, particularly the moment when Kelce spoke onstage and Swift watched from the audience.

Kelce once again did his rendition of Elvis' "Viva Las Vegas," which he first performed in February after the Chiefs' Super Bowl win. Swift's reaction to that moment was caught on camera, and her tight-lipped smile led fans to declare the gesture gave the singer the "ick."

According to the lip-reader, who posted her interpretation on TikTok, as Kelce tried to sing onstage, Swift reacted by saying: "That again. I can't do it."

The A-list couple had a packed weekend in Las Vegas, but their fans are now turning their attention to the Met Gala on May 6, hoping they will make their red-carpet debut at the exclusive event.

The Met Gala is hosted by Vogue magazine's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. It serves as a fundraiser for the Met and launches a new fashion exhibition at the museum. Known as one of the most exclusive red-carpet events in the world, this year's event promises a gathering of high-profile celebrities—such as Rihanna, Kendall Jenner and Gisele Bündchen, who are confirmed to attend.

It was initially believed that Swift and Kelce would not be attending, but a recent Page Six report suggested the singer could appear at the event, which fits into her schedule since her global Eras Tour does not restart until May 9.
