Just a day after stealing the spotlight at Churchill Downs with NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift was spotted solo in New York City on Sunday afternoon — and fans are buzzing with excitement.
The global pop sensation was seen leaving Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village, known for its legendary music sessions, sparking speculation that new music could be on the way. Swift emerged in a casually elegant look: a crisp white blouse, high-waisted floral trousers, and her signature red lipstick, radiating effortless charm as she smiled and waved to a small crowd of fans gathered outside the studio.
Her arrival in the city comes on the heels of a romantic whirlwind weekend in Louisville, where she and Kelce made rare public appearances at the 151st Kentucky Derby. The couple reportedly enjoyed Derby Eve at the historic Brown Hotel, strolled hand-in-hand through horse stables, and dazzled in the Turf Club on race day. Swift turned heads in a custom peach fascinator, while Kelce rocked a tailored navy seersucker suit.
While Swift returned to the East Coast for what insiders believe were creative sessions, Kelce headed south to Miami alongside close friend and Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes to attend the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. The two NFL stars, spotted in matching linen ensembles, were seen enjoying the race from VIP stands before diving into the city’s vibrant nightlife.
“Trav was in Miami at the Grand Prix because he and Pat are investors in Alpine’s F1 team,” a source revealed, adding that Kelce also pulled off the same Derby-to-F1 weekend last year — though at the time, Swift was gearing up for the European leg of her Eras Tour and didn’t join.
With such a packed and high-profile weekend, Swifties are on high alert, speculating that the couple may soon appear together once again — possibly at the upcoming 2025 Met Gala on Monday. This year’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” is already generating buzz in the fashion world, and many believe it’s the perfect opportunity for Swift’s return to the iconic red carpet.
Though Swift has attended the Met Gala six times and co-chaired the event in 2016, she hasn’t made an appearance since. Kelce, meanwhile, has never attended — but with athletes like F1’s Lewis Hamilton and NBA legend LeBron James serving as co-chairs, fans believe this year could mark a milestone debut for the power couple.
Security at the Met Gala is famously tight, but that hasn’t stopped hopeful fans from dreaming big. “The drought is so bad that at this point I will lose my mind if Taylor and Travis do a red carpet together — that’s all I want,” one fan posted online. Another wrote, “In my wildest dreams, Taylor attends the Met Gala with Travis and breaks the internet.”
As Swift continues her streak of surprises, one thing is clear — the Taylor-Travis era is keeping fans on their toes.
