was on hand to take portraitsof everyone from Matthew McConaughey to Selma Hayek.
And then theres the fact that the couple could have party-hopped (and been photographed) elsewhere in town.
But they simply chose to stay out of the spotlightand they succeeded.
Which, for the Swift and Kelce, is no easy feat.
Paparazzi trailed them on every date night in New York City.
Then there were the TikToksso many TikToks!of Kelce attending Swifts Eras Tour concerts.
It was the most-watched Super Bowl in history.
For the most part, the spotlight was a warm one.
Swift is a beloved performer and Kelce a beloved athlete, both with mega-passionate fanbases.
However, that level of mega-fame always comes with a dark side.
There was the snarky commentary: The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL?
Then, there were the wild conspiracy theories that swirled around the couple.
Theyd endorse him together at the Super Bowl.
(No such thing happened.)
Perhaps thats why, for fans of the couple, their recent absence from the headlines feels so welcome.
If only for a moment, during the post-football season lull, shes out from underneath the magnifying glass.
