Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were spotted together in Philadelphia as they celebrated Mother’s Day with their families, marking their first public appearance in over two months after keeping a low profile throughout early 2025.
The timing couldn’t be more fitting: both stars were just nominated for the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards. He will represent the NFL in the Favorite Male Sports Star category, while she dominates the music field with two major nominations.
Their return to the spotlight comes after a whirlwind year—Swift wrapped her record-breaking Eras Tour, while Kelce helped lead the Chiefs to a third straight Super Bowl appearance. Now, pop and football collide once again.

Swift received nominations for Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Song for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”. She’ll compete against major stars like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Billie Eilish Cardi B and Lady Gaga.
The couple’s influence has transcended their individual industries. Swift’s NFL appearances boosted game viewership and brought a new audience to football, while Kelce continues to grow as a mainstream media personality.
With the Kids’ Choice Awards airing on June 21, fans are eager to see whether the duo will appear together and whether they’ll take home their respective trophies in music and sports, as People and Athlon Sports reported.
Could the KCA be their first official awards show together?
While Taylor Swift has previously attended NFL games to support Kelce, the Kids’ Choice Awards could mark their first official public appearance together at an awards ceremony. So far, neither of them has confirmed their attendance.
But the buzz surrounding a possible red carpet debut is building fast among fans and media alike. If they do attend, it would represent another major crossover, solidifying them as one of the most talked-about power couples of the moment.
