Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are said to have been incapable of “keeping their hands off each other” at “Saturday Night Live.”
The singer, 33, and the Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, have been linked since she was spotted cheering him on at The Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 23 next to Travis’ mom Donna, while wearing a red-and-white Chiefs jersey.
A source told Page Six about how they continued to make no secret of their romance by getting cozy when they turned up for a surprise visit to “SNL” on Saturday, Oct. 14: “They couldn’t keep their hands off of each other. They were very touchy-feely backstage. They were very cute and supportive of each other.”
Bookers at “SNL” told the New York Post‘s Page Six they were stunned the new couple turned up as viewers at the show, saying: “No one knew they were coming.” The outlet also reported the pair were “touching and kissing” at a party at Catch Steakhouse on Saturday.
Swift and Kelce are said to have met up with the singer’s friend Zoë Kravitz, 34, to watch the show as audience members.
Other celebrities in the audience included Dave Chappelle, 50, John Mulaney, 41, and 43-year-old Olivia Munn.
Kelce recently joked he had been “put on the map” since news broke of his relationship with Swift. The tight end and his brother, fellow NFL star Jason Kelce, 35, announced on their “New Heights” podcast it had reached No. 1 across various platforms thanks to what’s been called the “Taylor effect.”
“We are officially on the map. Both Travis and I have officially been put on the map,” Philadelphia Eagles star Jason said.
“Just when you think you been skatin’ away from it,” Kelce replied.
“Nothing out of the ordinary from week tree, so can’t really explain why the boost in viewership, but we appreciate you guys tuning in,” Jason joked crediting Swift for the uptick in their numbers.
The brothers’ jokes come after reality TV’s Bethenny Frankel, 52, joked Taylor had put Travis “on the map” by dating him.
“I’ve never heard the man’s name in my life. It’s not only that she put him on the map – she drew the map, she charted the course that we’re gonna take when we utilize the map, and she took him like a claw in the arcade as a toy and put him on the map,” she said in a TikTok video.
The former “Real Housewives of New York City” star doubled down on never having “heard his name” in her “whole life” despite Travis being one of the best players in the NFL.
“When I look at him, he looks like a guy who would be in like a crime movie like a tough Russian Albanian [who] just has like two lines in a scene like, ‘It’s done, looks tough,’” she added.
Frankel later told fans she was “just baiting” her followers and knew about Kelce’s fame.
