A body language expert has weighed in on the dynamic between global sensation Taylor Swift and her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, and the findings are giving Swifties butterflies.
The couple, both 35, were papped walking around Manhattan hand in hand last week.
Kelce wore a red two-piece, which Swift matched with the colour of her singature lipstick and the soles of her Louboutin heels.

While to the naked eye, they appeared to be in good spirits, a body language expert has ascertained that Kelce was actually feeling rather anxious.
Judi James told the Daily Mail that this may be due to feeling the pressure to pop the question.
She said: “His hand clasp with Taylor shows his hand firmly on top and their fingers meshed, showing closeness, but his free hand seems to touch his stomach and move about in a way that suggests he feels under pressure.
“His teeth looked clenched and his head is bowed at times, which is an unusual attempt to hide from the press from a guy who normally loves the attention.”

The expert continued: “Taylor looks confident and sociable here, but Travis seems to be in a contradictory state. So, the question is, why the apparent anxiety?
“If he is on the brink of proposing these symptoms would fit but they could also occur from a man who's avoiding commitment while under pressure to propose.
“The past few days he seems to be hopping around Taylor again, using touching and steering rituals to suggest he wants to treat her like a princess.”

The analysis follows suggestions from insiders that Kelce is feeling the pressure to put a ring on Swift’s finger.
A friend of the singer told the publication: “These engagement rumours started from day one and they do not know how they can even have a public engagement at this point.”
They continued: “Travis and Taylor are well-versed in pop culture and when things are about them, they are well briefed about it if they don't find out about it themselves.

“And with the uncontrollable nature of engagement rumours, they both hear about it all the time.
“It is just a part of their lives that they don't dwell on because it takes away from how special it will be when it actually happens,” they concluded.
A separate unnamed source said: “[Travis] does read some of these stories because it cannot be avoided. And he finds some of it hilarious because he knows how much the world wants this to happen. At times it can be overwhelming for him."
