Taylor Swift has officially arrived at Coachella 2024. Instead of popping up during Lana Del Rey’s headlining set on April 12, as many expected, the 34-year-old pop star and her NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce, traveled to the desert music festival for night two. Frankly, we should have suspected Swift would prefer to make an appearance on the 13th (iykyk).

Swift and Kelce were just like everyone else at Coachella…if we all had an opportunity to scream along to our own songs. In fan-recorded clips from the night, Swift and Kelce can be seen dancing amongst the rest of the crowd as Ice Spice performed her Midnights collab, “Karma.” The pair were also spotted supporting Swift’s longtime producing partner Jack Antonoff during Bleachers’ set earlier in the evening.

On April 13, Swift cast aside the soft spring pallet she’s been embracing ahead of the release of The Tortured Poets Department for an all black ’fit featuring a corset-inspired top, a miniskirt, and a cheeky garter, topping everything off with a bomber jacket and a Stella McCartney purse—oh, and a green “New Heights” baseball cap.

Swift has yet to appear on the Kelce brothers’ famous podcast, but it looks as if a guest appearance might be coming soon. For his part, Kelce wore a “Happy Gilmore” cap with his eclectic Coachella ’fit.

Taylor Swift has not returned to Coachella since she and her platinum blonde bob attended the festival to support then boyfriend Calvin Harris in 2016. Eight years later Swift is dating Kelce, while Harris is married to sneaky Swiftie Vick Hope. “As soon as my husband goes away, I listen to Taylor Swift,” Hope recently said on her BBC Radio 1 show, Going Home With Vick, Katie, and Jamie, according to People. “That’s just when I get my little fill—just a little fill. Just a couple of songs, get it out of my system, and then it’s done.”

This year it seemed obvious that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would make an appearance at Coachella, considering the pair has been spending a lot of time in LA during Kelce’s off-season and Swift’s break from the Eras Tour. “I am a Coachella guy,” the tight end recently told People. “I love going to Coachella. I love live music in general. So you might see me pop up over there at some point.”

Though Kelce didn’t say which weekend he planned on attending, many thought the couple would make an appearance on opening night, as many of Swift’s inner circle were scheduled to perform. Not only was Del Rey accompanied by Antonoff during her set, but Eras Tour opener Sabrina Carpenter and close friend Suki Waterhouse were also on the lineup. Instead the “Anti-Hero” singer brought her NFL boyfriend to LA’s celeb hotspot Sushi Park for a low-key date night before making their way to the desert for Antonoff’s and Ice Spice’s big night.

It’s unlikely Swift will return to Coachella for a second weekend in a row, considering The Tortured Poets Department drops on April 19, but I’m still holding out hope for a surprise performance of “Snow on the Beach” next weekend. A girl can dream!
