Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been keeping an exceptionally low profile in recent months, but fans may have spotted a subtle clue about their downtime together — and it all came down to Kelce’s noticeably bronzed appearance.
During this week’s episode of the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with older brother and former Eagles star Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end appeared alongside NFL Hall of Famer Joe Thomas.
The trio discussed football, hometown pride, and career highlights — but it was Kelce’s glowing tan that quickly stole the spotlight among viewers.
Fans Notice the Glow — and Start Speculating
“Travy is looking TANNED and happy,” one fan commented on the podcast’s official Instagram post announcing Thomas as the guest. Another chimed in with, “Travis, share the tan routine please.”
Although the episode didn’t reveal where Kelce was recording from, fans noted the background was clearly different from his usual in-season setup at his Kansas City mansion — sparking fresh speculation that he and Swift may have recently escaped somewhere sunny together.
Where Have Travis and Taylor Been?
Kelce and Swift were last publicly seen in New York over a month ago, following a ski trip to Montana earlier this spring. Since then, the couple has stayed out of the spotlight — a major contrast from their high-profile appearances following the Super Bowl in February.
Adding to the intrigue, Kelce was recently spotted in Florida, where he ran football drills with high school athletes and posed for photos. Whether he’s still in the Sunshine State remains unclear, but it’s worth noting that his mother, Donna Kelce, is currently vacationing there.
Could a tropical getaway with Swift explain the NFL star’s sun-kissed glow? Fans certainly think so.
Career Refocus After Super Bowl Loss
Following the Chiefs’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl — a game that saw him face off against brother Jason — Kelce briefly considered retirement. On a recent New Heights episode, he admitted he wasn’t ready to leave football behind on such a disappointing note.
Now, as he gears up for what could be his final NFL season, sources suggest Kelce is also reevaluating his public profile. Since going public with Swift in September 2023, his fame has skyrocketed — but insiders say he’s looking to step back and focus on the game that launched his career.
For now, Kelce continues to co-host New Heights and enjoy what appears to be a rare stretch of personal time — possibly alongside one of the most famous women in the world.
