Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were a picture-perfect couple during their Palm Beach, Fla., date night earlier this week, Pamela Goodman, who sat right next to the couple, exclusively gushes to Page Six.
“They were a giggly couple on a date. They were just adorable!” the Grammy winner’s longtime fan, who belongs to Facebook groups like “Fearless Swifties over 50,” tells us in a phone interview Friday.
Goodman shares that she and a friend made impromptu dinner plans at Buccan restaurant Wednesday night and got a table in the back, left-hand corner. They were engaged in conversation when Swift and Kelce, both 35, suddenly walked in and were seated right next to her.
“I vaguely felt someone come in – just out of my peripheral vision, I didn’t even look,” she says. “I didn’t want to stare, but then I casually took time and looked over there.” When she realized who it was, she thought to herself, “Oh my God, I can’t believe this” and says she started “shaking.”
However, Goodman regained her composure, as Buccan’s owner and manager went up to her and her friend, Jeff, to “make sure [they] were cool.” Swift’s bodyguard was also seated at a nearby table.
The 69-year-old superfan — who even attended the “Fortnight” singer’s concert in Miami sporting stacks of friendship bracelets on her wrist — tells us she noticed the “incredibly gorgeous” couple sharing a menu and food, drinking cocktails, giving each other “playful kisses” and laughing “lots” together.

We’re told the “You Belong With Me” singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end were not bothered throughout the night, as their fellow restaurant-goers were very respectful.
However, when it was time for Goodman and her friend to leave, she prepared a few kind words to tell the global pop star and Super Bowl champ, as they had to squeeze past them anyway.
“I stood up and said, ‘Excuse me, I don’t mean to interrupt, but I’m probably one of your oldest and biggest Swifties in the planet’ and she laughed,” the Palm Beach county local shares.
“I said, ‘I just had to stop and congratulate you on the re-ownership of your masters. I’m so, so happy for you. Congratulations.’”
Following Goodman’s acknowledgement of Swift’s giant feat — after years of a public feud with Scooter Braun and several album re-recordings — the singer looked directly at the Swiftie and said, “I noticed you! You are so beautiful,” adding, “Thank you so much!” as they shook hands.
Goodman then paid a compliment to Kelce, as well, telling him, “I lived in Kansas City for seven years before you were even born but I’m a longtime Chiefs fan and I just wish you the best success in the season this year.”
She continued, “You’re going to go back and I just know you’re going to do it and I can’t wait to watch it happen.” She tells us that the NFL star “put out his hand immediately” and said “thank you so much,” just “as warm as [Swift] was [with] direct eye contact.”
Kelce has been spending time in Florida as he is training there to prepare for the next football season following his decision to return to the league and not retire just yet. As a result, Swift has also been staying in the Sunshine State to support her beau, resulting in many sightings of the two at local spots.
Overall, Goodman tells Page Six that she was left with a very positive impression of the power couple.
“Trust me, this is true love. This is not fake. They’re real. They’re adorable,” she says.
“They’re friendly and they’re just everything that those of us who are Swifties really believe they are. I saw it up close and personal.”
