INDIO, Calif. (April 14, 2024) – Coachella just got a whole lot hotter as Taylor Swift and her NFL beau Travis Kelce turned up the romantic heat at the desert music festival on Saturday night. The power couple was spotted locking lips and getting cozy amidst a crew of fellow celebrity pairs.
Swift and Kelce, were joined by newlyweds Justin and Hailey Bieber as well as actor Barry Keoghan and singer Sabrina Carpenter for what looked to be a star-packed double date night on the festival grounds.
Photographs captured the group exiting the backstage area after catching Ice Spice’s high-energy performance earlier in the evening. The celebs streamed out in a line, first the Biebers, trailed by Keoghan and Carpenter, with Swift and Kelce bringing up the rear as lovestruck stragglers.
Though they maintained some distance, the presence of the Biebers raised eyebrows given the perceived past tensions between Hailey and Swift’s longtime friend Selena Gomez. However, any residual awkwardness appeared to be water under the bridge as the two couples existed as part of the same social orbit, at least for one night.
Throughout the evening, Swift and Kelce seemed orbiting in their own world, stealing kisses and snuggling up in plain view whenever they had a chance. Their passionate displays of affection provided plenty of buzz-worthy moments for fans and photographers alike.
At one point, the lovebirds were captured in a clinch, with the Chiefs tight end dipping his girlfriend dramatically as he planted a kiss on the Grammy winner’s lips. In another frame, Swift wrapped her arms around Kelce as they waited side-stage, gazing adoringly at each other.
The cozy scenes served as windows into the romance between the certified global megastar and the Super Bowl champ, who first went public with their relationship in late 2022 after months of strict privacy.
Their Coachella cameo marked the latest high-profile public outing for the couple, who have increasingly been putting their love on display after maintaining a relatively low profile throughout the early stages of their courtship.
Though they mostly let their scorching chemistry do the talking on this occasion, Swift did offer a quick wave to greet her adoring fans who caught a glimpse of the pair headed back to their discreet festivities.
The festival cameo also stoked anticipation that Swift may take the stage herself during Weekend 2 of Coachella’s iconic double-header. Rampant speculation has suggested she could make a surprise appearance next weekend to promote the release of her upcoming 10th studio album.
Whether she ends up performing on the desert stage or simply enjoys ZYX as a VIP guest again, one thing is clear – when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce go to Coachella, they bring the heat in more ways than one.
