Share and Follow

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen together publicly for the first time in months. They were reportedly in the company of Jason, Kylie, and their mothers for a heartwarming Mother’s Day lunch in Philadelphia.

Witnesses mentioned that Taylor was visibly happy, showing her affection by holding Travis’ hand as they made their way to Talula’s Garden in Washington Square, Philadelphia, for the meal on Sunday afternoon, as reported on various social media platforms.

Their unexpected appearance surprised other diners at the well-known farm-to-table restaurant. Despite the attention, Taylor looked joyful as she entered the restaurant with both families to celebrate Mother’s Day.

According to the TikTok user who shared the photos of the pair, both Taylor’s mom Andrea and Travis’ mom Donna were present, though neither were pictured.

Travis’ brother Jason and his wife Kylie were also said to be there for a big family affair, and Taylor’s first public appearance alongside Travis in two months. 

NFL icon Travis sported a longer haircut for the rare public sighting, after spending the last few weeks holed up in Boca Raton working hard in the NFL offseason.

Travis and Taylor have not been spotted together publicly since a dinner date in New York City back in March.

They visited Del Frisco’s Grille in Lower Manhattan, but then went to ground and have been keeping a very low profile, despite their relatively bare schedules.

Travis is currently deep in the NFL offseason and preparing for another year with the Kansas City Chiefs, while Taylor has finished her sold-out worldwide Eras Tour. 

Many expected the pair to attend the Met Gala in New York last week, but they opted against an appearance in the spotlight.

Taylor was thrust into the news unexpectedly last week when she was on the receiving end of a subpoena in the Justin Baldoni-Blake Likely lawsuit.

Taylor’s camp slammed the legal notice, though, arguing that she was not very involved in the drama on set of 2024 film It Ends With Us.

A rep for Taylor gave a blistering response to DailyMail.com which read: ‘Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history.’

The rep notes that the only involvement Taylor had in the film was the use of one of her tracks titled My Tears Ricochet which was off of her 2020 album Folklore. 

The statement concluded: ‘Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.’ 

Meanwhile, Donna Kelce was on Jason and Travis’ New Heights podcast last week, and a comment she made about Mother’s Day has gone viral since Sunday’s sighting.

In a potential nod to their upcoming lunch date, Donna responded to a question about what mothers want most on Mother’s Day by saying: ‘They want to be with their children, which doesn’t happen often when they’re older! It’s time, that’s basically it.’

While Travis and Taylor have not been seen much publicly, sources have revealed that they have been making the most of their time together, regularly traveling  – and avoiding the spotlight in the process.

An insider told People: ‘They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoying it. They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends too. It’s a special time for them!’ 

Sunday’s lunch reportedly took place at Talula’s Garden in Philadelphia, which was recently described as ‘the toughest table in America’, such is the difficulty in getting a table.

Per the restaurant’s website, they host nightly 12-person tastings, courtesy of award-winning restauranteur Aimee Olexy.

Despite its exclusivity, the food is well-priced, with Sunday’s brunch menu featuring a southern style shrimp and grits for $25, southern peach pancakes for $22, and buttermilk fried chicken and waffle for $24.

Eagle-eyed Swifties were also sent into meltdown by the dessert menu, titled ‘Sweet Nothings’ – very similar to a 2022 song by Taylor Swift herself.

Intriguingly, every dessert on the menu is $13 – Swift’s favorite number.
