On February 5, less than a week before Super Bowl LVIII, Taylor Swift won her 14th Grammy. What was Travis Kelce’s reaction?” I told her I’m gonna have to hold up my end of the bargain and bring home some hardware too.” And on February 11, the tight end did precisely that as the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Now, with nine more nominations to Swift’s name, courtesy of the iHeartRadio Awards, Kelce could have some catching up to do again. But will Tayvis even be in Los Angeles for the April 1 show?
This question arose after publicity photographer Hugh E. Dillon posted an update about the couple’s whereabouts on Easter Sunday. They tweeted, “Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spotted @PHLAirport this morning…” adding, “Someone tipped me off about an hour before they landed. So if you see them, it’s them.” Considering Dillon had no photographic evidence, there were understandably a few queries in response to the tweet.
“Were they actually spotted, or was the email about her plane landing in Philly?” asked one fan. The photographer confirmed it wasn’t just Swift’s private jet landing at the Philadelphia International Airport, writing, “After posting this, I got a tip about their hotel. They’re in Philly.” But why Philadelphia? Well, it’s not difficult to arrive at the conclusion that they might be there to spend time with Kylie and Jason Kelce to celebrate Easter together. A fan attested to this themselves.

“They were in Havertown (Jason’s hometown) for Easter Dinner with Jason.” This trip came right after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Bahamas vacation, which was “a much-needed break for both of them. They very much enjoyed it,” a source told PEOPLE. In light of their Philadelphia visit, most likely for a Kelce Easter celebration, their shippers are understandably happy that Swift is fitting right in with them. And as Taylor spends more and more time with the Kelces, it (sort of) does put a rest to the “awkward” rumors.

Back when Swift and the younger Kelce got together, Life and Style magazine reported, “Taylor hasn’t had the best reception from Jason and his wife. Taylor took that personally, and since then, it’s been very awkward.” But that’s not the case anymore (if it ever was). In the closing stages of the 2023-24 NFL season, the pop star got along quite well with Jason and Kylie during the Chiefs’ games.
Recently, on the Today show, Kylie Kelce even said Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift has been “amazing.” But coming back to the iHeartRadio Awards. Considering that the show starts at 8 PM Eastern Time at the Dolby Theatre and that a flight from the Philly airport to LA is just 6 hours long, Tayvis can hop on Swift’s jet and make it to the award ceremony on time.
