It’s been a while since we’ve seen Taylor Swift make a big splash on social media.
After going completely silent for months, the “Cruel Summer” singer finally made a move that got fans buzzing: she “liked” a video on Instagram. It wasn’t the grand comeback some were hoping for, but it was enough to get her fans talking.
Swift’s last major public appearance was at the Super Bowl in February, where she cheered on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, she hasn’t posted anything on her Instagram grid since December, and there’s been radio silence on her X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok accounts as well, with her last post on those platforms dating back to November and October, respectively.
Fast forward to March 30, when Kelce’s brother, Jason, and his wife, Kylie, welcomed their daughter, Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce. On April 1, they made the announcement on Instagram, and Taylor’s subtle return came in the form of a “like” on their post. The pop star’s simple gesture was enough to set the internet abuzz, as it was the first time in months that she had interacted with any post.
But why the silence? Well, Taylor’s had a pretty packed schedule, especially with the conclusion of her Eras Tour in December 2024, which ran for nearly two years. While on tour, she frequently made appearances at Travis Kelce’s football games. However, her public appearances have been significantly less frequent this year. Fans had speculated about her absence, with some wondering if she was simply taking a break or if something more was going on.
One fan even pointed out her Instagram silence, writing in April that it had been “84 days” since Swift posted anything. On March 21, a fan account noticed that Taylor had officially gone 100 days without posting, making it the longest hiatus since her “Reputation” era in 2017.
So, what’s next for Taylor? While there’s no official announcement, many are hoping her social media comeback will coincide with the start of the 2025 NFL season. The Chiefs’ preseason begins in August, and with the new football season just around the corner, we may see more of Swift at Kelce’s games. The quiet might just be a temporary thing, as the pop star could be gearing up for another busy year.
Until then, fans will have to settle for these little glimpses of Swift’s online activity, like the one Instagram “like” that has stirred up plenty of excitement.
