With the 2026 Oscars right at the doorstep, there have been discussions and rumors of various celebrity appearances at the event. The most talked about among them are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and their latest sighting in LA has only reinforced these speculations. The couple, who have been quite busy lately with their respective career, have previously skipped the 2025 Oscars, and Swift has a pattern of skipping the event due to various reasons. 

The recent LA sighting, however, is telling a different story, and there is a lot of chatter going on about the meaning behind this.

The entertainment gossip outlet DeuxMoi took to its Instagram handle on March 13, posting pictures of the couple in Los Angeles. They were reportedly spending time with Swift’s parents at the private Bird Streets club in West Hollywood. These photos depicting a kind of family outing have somehow sparked the Oscar buzz for the couple and their possible appearance in the afterparty tied to the event.

This is not entirely new, as the couple has repeatedly been anticipated to attend the Oscars in the last few years, starting from 2024. That year, they were spotted together at Gucci’s renowned afterparty, which was hosted at talent manager Guy Oseary’s residence.

“They were on the patio and in great moods. She had a very happy, giant smile. He was protective of her and she was delightful and glowing — they seemed very happy together and loving the night,” told some guests who saw the couple at the party to PEOPLE.

While this was their first big Hollywood event together, they decided to skip the award show that year and the year after as well. 

Amid the rumors around their wedding and Oscar gossip, both of them are very much occupied with their work right now. With major milestones in their respective careers, a red-carpet appearance together could be on the cards.

Taylor Swift has been busy with the release of the third single, ‘Elizabeth Taylor’, from her chartbuster ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ album. This single was sent to pop radio on March 10, 2026. On the other hand, Travis Kelce has just confirmed his return to the Kansas City Chiefs for another NFL season. Kelce has reportedly signed a one-year contract worth $12 million with the team that could go as high as $15 million if incentives are included.

However, according to the player, it is not about the money, but his passion for the game, for he has several ways now to go after money. But what he feels for the game cannot be replicated elsewhere. Both the celebrities seem to be content in their respective work fields, and this might inspire them to attend the Oscars after all.
