Travis Kelce 'Tensed' Around Taylor Swift During Nobu Date, Body Language Expert Explains Why

Over the weekend, fans spotted Travis Kelce enjoying a day out and about with Taylor Swift in California.

Pictures shared on social media and reported by the Daily Mail showed the 34-year-old singer-songwriter alongside her 34-year-old NFL player beau at Nobu in Malibu, California, for a leisurely Sunday lunch.

Taylor Swift sported a stylish blue sweatshirt and chic sunglasses, complemented by her boyfriend Travis, who wore a cozy beige sweatshirt and a crisp white hat.

The duo appeared at ease and content, enjoying a leisurely meal outdoors at Nobu restaurant.

Judi James, a body language expert, shared insights with The Mirror on the pair's date, evaluating recent candid photographs captured by fans of Taylor and Travis during their less lo-profile date.

Starting her observation, Judi pointed out the significance of intimacy cues conveyed predominantly through how they interlocked their fingers during a firm and emphatic handclasp, signifying a heightened level of closeness beyond just regular grasp.

Judi said of their outfits, "The pair are dressed in college-teen chic here, with Taylor in particular showing a desire to look youthful, demure and rather sweet."

"[Taylor's] downward-aimed smile as she walks along is a very typical A-list gesture that shows a desire to be as ignored as possible in public but wanting to look politely accepting of the fan interest too."

Travis Kelce's Protective Instinct

In the snapshots, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end also exhibited signs of tension through his body language, notably with furrowed brows creating a sense of unease, particularly evident when seated at the table.

Unlike his initial cheerful demeanor, Travis Kelce seemed solemn, with tightly clenched teeth and occasionally pursed lips adding to the air of apprehension.

The perceived tension indicated a positive shift, according to Judi, suggesting that this newfound "more serious look" might reflect a sense of duty and a wish to safeguard his high-profile girlfriend Taylor Swift during their public outings.

In a notable shift, Judi suggested that the perceived tension was not necessarily a negative occurrence. Instead, she interpreted this newfound seriousness as a sign of heightened responsibility and a protective inclination towards Taylor during public outings.
