Taylor Swift’s Coachella weekend with Travis Kelce took the couple’s level of exposure to new heights as they partied among fellow music fans.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, admitted on Wednesday’s episode of his “New Heights” podcast that he and the Grammy winner “probably could have finessed it” to party in private but he preferred to be in the crowd.
“I think it’s just that much more of an experience if you’re in the pit, man, if you’re in the madness with all the fans,” the three-time Super Bowl champ told his co-host, big brother Jason.
Photos and videos of the dancing and smooching couple have been going viral all week, in the run-up to Friday’s release of Swift’s 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poet’s Department.
“I love live music, man. … I don’t get enough of it in my life,” Travis said. “I really enjoy any event. I just like going to events, going places where people are, seeing talents. … Saturday was such a fun, fun day.”
Earlier this week, an insider told Entertainment Tonight that the couple was “so excited” to attend together and “wanted to be there to support their friends and just have fun.”
“They had the best time and were in their own world even though so many people were around them,” the source said. “They are very in love and in sync in so many aspects of their lives, and it’s very sweet to see.”
The Coachella sighting came a day after Swift and Kelce were spotted enjoying a date night in Los Angeles at celeb hotspot Sushi Park.
Aside from dancing the weekend away, Swift has spent the past week dropping Easter eggs about her upcoming album, which is widely believed to center on the end of her years-long relationship with Joe Alwyn.
While their split was first reported last April, the actual timeline of their roughly six-year romance is hotly debated amongst Swifties.
