The people of Park City, Utah delivered a lesson in respecting others’ privacy when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce — only the country’s most famous couple — ed through town last week.
The singer and the football player were recorded entering a car after a dinner date, in a video that was only shared to social media on Monday, days after the couple were in the area. Though some people can be seen filming the couple in the first few seconds of the clip (including, of course, its author), most are just strolling by, unfazed. The interaction surely transmitted a relative sense of normalcy for Swift and Kelce who have, in the last year, reached a very unnormal level of fame.
The footage came from gossip page Deuxmoi, whose comments were filled with fans complimenting the people of Park City for how they handled the situation. “How refreshing to not have 1000s flashes going off in your face!!,” said Brittany Graber — a sentiment shared by Erin who declared how much she “[loved] how people walk past them and leave them alone!” Park City native Sarah Davidson confirmed “no one in town said a word.”
Anywhere Swift, and by association Kelce, go, usually turns into disarray: groups of followers huddling outside whatever restaurant, studio, or locale they’re visiting. At the height of the Eras Tour in 2023, when the singer was at the very top of her popularity, Swifties in New Jersey swarmed the wedding venue of her best friend and producer Jack Antonoff and now-wife, The Substance actress Margaret Qualley, leading to widespread backlash from other, less stalkerish fans.
Around that same time, with every one of Swift’s visits to New York’s Electric Lady Studios while recording her 11th album The Tortured Poets Department, oglers and paparazzi alike gathered to get a glimpse of the star. Naturally, by combining her star power with one of the U.S.’s most prolific football players, the spotlight only grew fiercer.
Fans of “Tayvis,” as the couple has been nicknamed, wait eagerly for their next sighting, hoping to continue to live vicariously through their fairytale-like love story. Before Utah, it had been a minute since they were last spotted in public — a month and two days to be exact. It happened during Super Bowl LIX, with Swift ing her beau in New Orleans to the Kansas City Chiefs in their quest for a third consecutive title. It didn’t happen, so the aftermath was a lot more discreet compared to the year before, when they shared a lengthy embrace on the field and partied all through the night.
The attention and the intensity of the last year surely became overwhelming, because, according to a Page Six source, the two traveled abroad shortly after for some alone time in an effort to “reconnect.” That’s why it must have felt so pleasant when Utahns left them to enjoy their meal together in peace, recently. The region is famous for its ski retreats — a sport Kelce and his brother Jason are known to enjoy.
