Speculation is swirling around the budding relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after photos surfaced of the pair cozying up together at a local bar.
Despite the intimate pictures, an expert in body language doubts whether the reported couple is exhibiting signs of a passionate new relationship.
Judi James noted that the body language between them appeared "odd" and raised questions about whether Taylor and Travis are such a powerful couple.
In an interview with The Mirror, Judi spoke of her observations. She noticed the athlete seated on a stool,appearing powerless and obedient as Taylor stood beside him, conversing with someone else while neglecting to include the man in the discussion.
Judi describes the scene as seeming like a mother scolding her child while protecting their attention with one arm held around them.
Judi remarked: "The fact that Taylor had his arm around Travis' neck and shoulders speaks volumes. It's a display of comfortability that usually takes considerably longer to achieve, even in long-term relationships. This indicates trust and closeness that is often only earned over time."
In the pose depicted, it was also evident that instead of utilizing her left hand to touch Travis, the "Teardrops on My Guitar" hitmaker is seemingly using it to communicate in some way.
There is an undeniable hint of physical closeness between them; her shoulder, armpit, and chest are all pressed into his head, giving off a vibe stronger than could be found on a typical first date, per the expert.
After Travis' "New Heights" podcast discussion, images of him and Taylor were seen being quite intimate at Prime Social in Kansas City, Missouri.

During his air chat, he said: "Shoutout to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy. Everyone in the suite had nothing but nice things to say about her..."
"She looked fantastic. All eyes were on her during that game - it's one I won't soon forget. Once time was up, we just got away together."
On Sunday, Travis had the full support of his inner circle regarding his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Patrick Mahomes was significantly involved in the proceedings, taking on a supportive role and quipping after the game to Fox: "I knew [ Taylor Swift ] was in the house.... so I knew I had to get the ball to Travis."
Though they have been spending much time together, things have not progressed to the next level for Taylor and Travis. According to those close to them, they are enjoying each other's company now.
