Travis Kelce Spotted in Cleveland After Vacationing in the Bahamas With Taylor Swift

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end visited Geraci’s Slice Shopin downtown Cleveland on Saturday.

Travis Kelce is returning to his Cleveland roots after traveling the world with Taylor Swift.

Over the weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, made his way back to “The Land” and dropped into Geraci’s Slice Shop in downtown Cleveland for some pizza. Kelce — who grew up in Cleveland Heights — was photographed inside the location (sans Swift), keeping a low profile in black sunglasses and a baseball cap.

A photo shared by the restaurant shows the three-time Super Bowl champion standing next to a blue payphone inside the establishment and directly underneath a neon light-up sign reading, “Talk pizza to me.”

“When NFL star and Heights legend @killatrav swings by Geraci’s Slice Shop, you know it’s going to be a touchdown-worthy slice!” wrote the restaurant in an Instagram post. “Next time bring Taylor 😉 🏈🍕.”

ET spoke with Geraci’s co-owner Chelsea Williams who said that when she served Kelce his hot and fresh slices — one pepperoni and one called the Hot Tito’s (pepperoni, sausage and a hot honey drizzle) — he was excited to enjoy a weekend in his hometown.

“He was very polite, super kind,” Williams said. “I asked him if he didn’t mind taking a photo for our social media and he was more than happy to oblige.”

She added that he was definitely recognized by other patrons inside the establishment, but that they let the Cleveland native enjoy his pie in peace with a few friends.

“I’m sure most of the people around [noticed him], but you know Clevelanders, they just let him be,” Williams shared.

The stop in his Northeast Ohio hometown follows a Bahamian trip Kelce took with Swift, 34, in mid-March. The pair were spotted on the island of Eleuthera by some eagle-eyed vacationers who submitted the photos to online celebrity blog DeuxMoi.

While the photos are extremely grainy, two figures in gray sweatshirts can be seen walking up a dock and seemingly holding hands following the completion of the singer’s Asian and Australian legs of her Eras Tour.

In mid-March, the football player talked about his “unique” trip to Singapore, when he traveled to take in one of Swift’s shows, something he has had more time to do since winning the Super Bowl with the Chiefs in February.

“I got to see two amazing shows of the Eras Tour, the last of the leg Taylor has until she’s back at it here in a couple months,” Travis told his brother, Jason Kelce, in an episode of his New Heights podcast — a moniker that plays on their Cleveland Heights’ childhood and early years. “Outside of that, I got to get some lovely Singapore food and just catch the views.”

During their time in Singapore, the couple was captured by fans enjoying intimate moments, including a casual date night at a local mall. Swift later took to Instagram to express her gratitude to her dedicated fans and the incredible experience of performing in Singapore, signaling the end of the tour’s leg across Australia and Asia.

Swift is currently on a brief hiatus from the record-breaking world tour before resuming shows in May, kicking off the European leg in Paris, France.

It’s not all rest, however, as later this month, she will drop her highly anticipated 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. The album, which she announced at the Grammys after winning her 13th statue, will release on April 19.
