Taylor Swift has broken her silence after her boyfriend of nearly two years Travis Kelce finally went Instagram official with her.

Swifties the world over went into instant meltdown Thursday when Travis, 35, posted Instagram pictures with Taylor, 35, for the first time.

Fans began forensically dissecting the images, making note of details like the lock screen of Travis’ phone, which is now a snap of him with Taylor.

Some breathless rumor-mongers even shared theories that they might be engaged, based on two different white outfits Taylor was pictured wearing.

As the frenzy kept gathering steam into Friday, Taylor poured fuel on the fire by paying a subtle tribute to the NFL star on her Insta Stories.

She uploaded a post enthusiastically plugging the new Adam Sandler movie Happy Gilmore 2, which contains a shirtless cameo by Travis.

‘Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie!’ she gushed. ‘An absolute must watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible.’ 

She added a honey emoji, making a sly reference to a scene near the end of the movie in which Travis is slathered with the condiment while half-naked. 

Travis briefly appears in the movie as a high-strung maître d’ who works with one of the main characters, a busboy called Oscar played by Bad Bunny.

At one point Travis’ character throws a temper tantrum and fires Oscar, who becomes the caddy to pro golfer Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler).

Near the end of the movie, Happy asks Oscar to picture his ‘happy place’ – and Oscar summons up an image of his Travis’ character, tied up and wearing nothing but an apron with honey smeared all over him and a hungry bear approaching.

One day before Taylor’s post, Travis shared a number of loved-up photos with her on Thursday as part of an ‘offseason adventures’ Instagram dump, which marks the first time he has ever posted his girlfriend.

The celebrity power couple, who have dominated headlines since they went public with their relationship in September 2023, look smitten in a number of snaps captured on nights out together.

Travis and Taylor are first seen posing together in a warm setting, with other pictures showing them out for dinner, clowning around in the snow and skating on an ice rink.

They also took photos with different groups of friends, one of which includes NFL reporters Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews and their respective partners.

Travis’ older brother Jason, mom Donna and dad Ed also feature in the Instagram dump, as does Taylor’s younger brother Austin.

Travis and Jason are spotted in one of the images in a woodland setting with Austin, who appears to be holding a tree pruner.

Nevertheless, Kelce’s offseason dump has mainly sparked a frenzy online because of the intimate snaps he shared of Swift.

The pop megastar’s diehard legion of ‘Swiftie’ fans rushed to the comments to gush over the photos, with one writing: ‘Their happiness is my happiness’.

Another posted: ‘SHE LOOKS SOOO HAPPY OMG’.

While a third put: ‘thank you for this – sincerely, all swifites’.

Some eagle-eyed Swifties also pointed out how one of the photos shows that Swift features on the lock screen of her boyfriend’s phone.

One commented: ‘why is nobody talking about how she’s his lock screen!!!’

‘The locked screen pic of Taylor and Trav….I just fainted,’ said another.

And a third joked: ‘Not me zooming in on the phone screensaver.’

Kelce and Swift have enjoyed a more low-key offseason together than last year, with the pair only making a handful of public appearances since the Chiefs’ Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in February.

The most noteworthy of the lot came when Taylor made a surprise cameo at her man’s ‘Tight End University’ event in Nashville last month, where she took to the stage and performed her famous ‘Shake It Off’ song.

On a subsequent edition of his New Heights podcast, Travis explained that they had been cooking up a plan to ‘have some fun’ for some time.

But his older brother Jason was among those who were shocked when footage emerged of the pop sensation on stage. 

‘Tay Tay showed up!’ Travis said. ‘We were in Nashville, she grew up in Nashville – she moved there when she was younger – and we had this planned for a while that we were going to have some fun with the tight ends.

He continued: ‘I won’t say when the idea came up but we were there at “Tight End & Friends” and we knew that there was a professional like Kane Brown, who could just figure it out.

‘He’s a pro, he’s been on stage a million times, he’s not shy at all by any means… Tay just went up to him and the band and was like: “Hey if you guys are down, I’ll go up there, play a song and see if we can pop the roof off this place.” And sure enough…’

Travis revealed that before going out to perform, Swift was backstage writing sheets of music for the band.

‘I don’t know, I’m not a musician but she was making sure that the band and everybody (knew it). And then just went out there without practicing and it was pitch perfect and just killed it,’ Travis continued.

‘She’s so good with everybody and making people feel comfortable. And absolutely rocked the stage yet again, it was awesome, man.’

Kelce was back on the practice field on Tuesday as the Chiefs began their preparations for the new NFL season. 

From Tuesday until August 13, the team will be based at Missouri Western State University in St Joseph – around an hour north Arrowhead Stadium.

There, Kelce and the other 89 players on the roster will stay in dorms on campus for the duration of camp. That means three weeks without seeing their partners and families. For Kelce, that means three weeks without seeing Swift.
