Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce planning luxury trip to Coachella music fest, reports say

It’s difficult these days for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Swift to go out without a prying camera lens being trained on them.

That goes for a meal at an L.A. restaurant or a vacation on a private beach on a Caribbean island.

Imagine how tough it would be for them if everyone knew their plans.

Well, we do know where they’ll be on Friday and Saturday: the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival outside Los Angeles. That’s according to Us Weekly and the Daily Mail.

The festival takes place in Indio, California, over consecutive three-day weekends beginning Friday and wrapping up April 19-21.

No doubt Coachella organizers hope Traylor shows up. Last year reportedly was the first time in 11 years the popular festival did not sell out both weekends. And this year, according to Newsweek and other outlets, it’s taken a month to sell out this first weekend.

“Not even rumors of Taylor Swift attending this year’s festival … with new beau Travis Kelce have been able to bolster sales,” reports Newsweek.

Speculation has swirled for weeks that they might attend. They’re both on break from their respective bill-paying jobs, reportedly camped out in Swift’s Beverly Hills mansion. Swift has nearly a month off before heading back on tour in Europe.

For Kelce, a trip to Coachella would cap a hectic week. He has been shooting the game-show “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity” and flew to his home state of Ohio to record a live episode of the “New Heights” podcast Thursday in Cincinnati.

Swifties would certainly welcome the appearance. They are currently huddled in their corners of the internet eagerly waiting for April 19 when Swift drops her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” They’re eager to get their hands on album merchandise and watching for sightings of the couple in the wild.

Us Weekly published a photo this week of the couple trying to hide from paparazzi in the backseat of a car after having dinner at the Bird Street Club in West Hollywood.

Why Coachella?

Swift is known to support her music friends, and several are performing at Coachella, including Sabrina Carpenter, who opened for Swift on the first leg of the Eras Tour.

“Perhaps Swift will reward Carpenter’s loyalty with a surprise Coachella cameo,” writes Mikael Wood, pop music critic for the Los Angeles Times.

Lana Del Rey, featured on Swift’s “Snow on the Beach” from the “Midnights” album, is slated to headline Friday and April 19. Del Rey was with Swift in Las Vegas when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

When he’s not producing albums for Del Rey and Swift — including “The Tortured Poets Department” — Jack Antonoff is lead singer the rock band Bleachers. The group performs Saturday.

Another Swift friend and awards-show seatmate, rapper Ice Spice — who remixed “Karma” with Swift and appeared in the video — also performs Saturday.

Definitely NOT La Quinta Inn

Paparazzi and eagle-eye fans are sure to be keeping an eye open for Swift and Kelce this weekend. That’s why the country’s most famous couple will be staying at a spot that will afford them privacy: The Madison Club in La Quinta, California.

The Madison Club bills itself as a members-only luxury residential community. It has an 18-hole golf course and a day spa. Membership is capped at 225, according to Real Estate Rancho Mirage. That site said a golf membership initiation fee costs $500,000, with annual golf dues of $70,000.

According to The Desert Sun, a mansion “behind the walls of luxury gated golf community The Madison Club” sold last year for $31.75 million.

This is from the club’s website: “The Madison Club is a tranquil sanctuary, offering sophisticated dining, and modern fitness and wellness programs. Escape to the spa and revive with a regimen of wellness treatments against a striking backdrop of the surrounding mountain ranges.”

For Swifties chomping at the bit for Swift’s new album, the prospect of her singing anything from it at Coachella — the album drops on opening day of the last weekend — seems a fantasy.

But really, what else about this romance hasn’t been?

“It’s not unprecedented to see an artist roll up to the fest with brand-new material,” the music experts at the Los Angeles Times noted.
