JUST IN: Swifties Rejoice as Taylor Swift Returns to Social Media Alongside Travis Kelce, Championing Natalia Bryant in Touching Tribute, Sharing Heartfelt Support for Kobe Bryant’s Daughter

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Make Waves with Social Media Return, Championing Natalia Bryant: ‘Mother Is Active Again!’

In a heartwarming display of support, global superstar Taylor Swift made a triumphant return to social media, delighting fans with a subtle yet meaningful gesture that celebrated Kobe Bryant’s daughter, Natalia Bryant, on her college graduation. The 35-year-old Grammy winner, who has been keeping a low profile since the conclusion of her record-breaking Eras Tour and her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Super Bowl loss in February 2025, sparked excitement among Swifties with her online activity. Joined by her partner, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Swift’s re-emergence on social platforms was a moment of joy, connection, and camaraderie, as the couple showed love for Natalia’s milestone at the University of Southern California (USC). Fans couldn’t contain their enthusiasm, with one declaring, “Mother is active again!”

Swift’s return to the digital spotlight came in the form of a heartfelt interaction with a TikTok post by Natalia Bryant, the eldest daughter of the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant. On May 19, 2025, Natalia shared a clip of herself and friends singing along to Swift’s song “Nothing New,” celebrating her graduation from USC. Swift, a longtime friend of the Bryant family, liked the video, sending fans into a frenzy. Social media erupted with comments like, “TAYLOR LIKED IT, this is such a cute sign of life,” and “So we all just stalking Taylor’s likes,” reflecting the excitement over her rare online activity.

Adding to the moment, Travis Kelce, 35, joined Swift in amplifying the celebration, further endearing the couple to fans. While Kelce was not directly mentioned in the TikTok interaction, sources confirm the couple has been spending quality time together, including a recent Mother’s Day lunch in Philadelphia with Kelce’s family, including his mother, Donna Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce. The couple’s joint support for Natalia underscores their shared values of loyalty and community, with Swift’s connection to the Bryant family dating back years. In 2015, Kobe joined Swift on stage during her 1989 World Tour, a testament to their enduring bond.

Swift and Kelce’s relationship, which went public in September 2023, has been under intense scrutiny, with the couple navigating breakup rumors, controversies, and their high-profile careers. Despite their efforts to maintain a low-key presence in recent months—spending time in Kansas City, New York, and Montana—their every move continues to captivate fans. Swift’s last Instagram post was in December 2024, marking the end of her Eras Tour, and her TikTok activity had been dormant for nearly a year before this recent gesture. Kelce, meanwhile, has been busy with NFL off-season commitments, including a trip to Las Vegas for Patrick Mahomes’ 15 and the Mahomies Golf Classic, which Swift did not attend.

The couple’s support for Natalia comes at a time when both have been selective about their public appearances. Swift, who was recently subpoenaed in a lawsuit involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, has prioritized private moments with Kelce and close friends. Their Mother’s Day outing on May 11, 2025, at Talula’s Garden in Philadelphia, marked their first public sighting together in nearly two months, where they were joined by Donna Kelce, Kylie Kelce, and Kylie’s newborn daughter, Finnley. The intimate gathering highlighted their commitment to family, a theme that resonates in their support for Natalia.

Fans have been quick to celebrate the couple’s dynamic, with many dubbing Kelce Swift’s “golden retriever boyfriend” for his fun, loyal, and affectionate nature. The term, popularized on TikTok, has gained traction as clips of Swift and Kelce’s joyful moments—like their dancing at a baseball game in October 2024—continue to go viral. Swift’s gesture toward Natalia, paired with Kelce’s steadfast presence, has quashed recent breakup rumors, with insiders affirming their strong bond. “They’re doing great and very much in love,” a source told Us Weekly, emphasizing their efforts to balance their busy lives with quality time together.

The Bryant family’s connection to Swift runs deep. Vanessa Bryant and her daughters, including Natalia, attended Swift’s Eras Tour in August 2023, with Vanessa wearing a jean jacket honoring Kobe, who tragically passed away in a 2020 helicopter crash alongside his daughter Gianna. Swift’s support
