THE RUNDOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n Taylor Swift and fianc\u00e9 Travis Kelce<\/a> kept their New Year\u2019s celebrations off Instagram, but the singer made a rare appearance on the platform yesterday, courtesy of sports journalist Charissa Thompson\u2019s year-end recap post. Thompson included a photo of herself, journalist Erin Andrews, and Swift together on a snow-tubing trip. Kelce had a subtle response to the tribute, liking the post.<\/p>\n Thompson and Andrews spoke<\/a> on a July episode of their podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa<\/a><\/em>, about going on the Montana trip with the singer earlier in 2025. Thompson said that Swift was \u201ceverything I\u2019d ever hoped and dreamed that she could have been and more.\u201d<\/p>\n Thompson added that Swift and Kelce \u201care so happy and adorable and all things, so when the opportunity came about for all of us to spend time together and go on vacation, we were elated to just have time with them and in general see what she was all about.\u201d<\/p>\n Kelce first shared<\/a> a photo from the trip on his own Instagram<\/a> that month. After he posted it, Thompson and Andrew said they felt comfortable discussing the vacation on their podcast.<\/p>\n The photo Travis Kelce shared of the group\u2019s Montana vacation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Thompson explained, \u201cTheir lives are so public, so it was very important for Erin and I not to say anything, not because we don\u2019t like to share stuff with you, but it\u2019s important for us to let them dictate the narrative on things they do in their personal life.\u201d She added of Swift, \u201cShe\u2019s a dream and I adore her, and I\u2019m so happy that they make each other happy.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift and Kelce ultimately announced their engagement<\/a> just a month later, at the end of August. They\u2019ve managed to keep their holiday festivities<\/a> largely private, with Swift last stepping out publicly<\/a> for Kelce\u2019s Christmas Day Kansas City Chiefs game. <\/p>\n Earlier this week, Ana Demmer, the girlfriend of Kelce\u2019s teammate Creed Humphrey, shared a photo<\/a> that included Swift at a Chiefs holiday party with the other WAGs, giving fans another rare look at the singer in her downtime.<\/p>\n\n
