The pop megastar’s appearance came a day after her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, played in a charity golf tournament in Chardon.
CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio — Northeast Ohio officially has a T-Swift sighting.
Reports from 3News have confirmed that Taylor Swift was seen at JoJo’s Bar in Chagrin Falls on Tuesday. A photo sent by a viewer captured the pop icon with two companions at the restaurant, and it was mentioned that Swift’s partner, Cleveland Heights’ own Travis Kelce, was also part of the group.
This sighting marks one of the initial instances where Swift has made a public appearance in the Cleveland region since she and Kelce commenced their relationship back in 2023. Earlier, Travis was noted at Sand Ridge Golf Club in Chardon on Monday for the charitable event, Alex’s Way golf tournament, organized by his friend Patrick Bacon, the owner of Forest City Insurance.
Notably, Taylor Swift has been absent from the Cleveland performance scene since 2018, notably excluding the city from her extensive Eras Tour, which concluded last December. Following the farewell show, there was anticipation for her presence at the game between Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs and the Browns at Huntington Bank Field. However, it was Swift’s band member, guitarist Paul Sidoti from Strongsville, who delivered the national anthem instead.
Though Taylor hasn’t been seen much around these parts, she has been greatly immersed in Cleveland’s culture since she and Travis began going steady. In 2023, she and the Kelce family took in a Browns game with legendary quarterback Bernie Kosar before heading to Arrowhead Stadium to watch her beau.
Last October, she and Travis were also in New York to watch the Guardians battle the Yankees in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series. Neither sported any Guards gear, though Travis could be seen looking mildly annoyed when Taylor smiled after a Yanks home run.
As far as we’re aware, Swift and Kelce are no longer at JoJo’s, but that hasn’t stopped scores of fans from flocking to the West Street restaurant Tuesday afternoon. The Italian American steak bar has been open since 2021, and we think it’s fair to say they’re about to get a sizeable bump in business.
