Travis Kells may be Taylor Swift's boyfriend, but he's also her makeshift bodyguard.

This was made perfectly clear a few weekends ago when the pop star and the Chiefs tight end were spotted on two consecutive dates in New York City, according to one body language expert.

The first date took place after their respective cameos on "Saturday Night Live," and the second was a more private dinner date on Sunday. On both nights, the lovebirds were seen sweetly holding hands, but as Inbar Honigmann says in an interview with the Mirror, this was no "normal hand holding."

"This is a casual way of showing that he is ready to protect her, that he has her firmly behind him," she explained as she looked at Saturday night's photos.

"Walking ahead is the athlete's way of letting his hitmaker girlfriend know that he will stand up to anything or anyone for her," said Honigmann, and OMG, I can't handle this.

"As he leads her forward, you can see his head bow so that his ears are close to her mouth. This indicates that he is making an effort not to miss what she is saying. The expert continued Honestly, what a perfectly behaved man.

Honigmann also noted that he trusts his new girlfriend completely, as evidenced by the Midnights singer's dropped gaze. The expert said, "If she were nervous or nervous, she would be looking straight ahead and watching her step, but she is confident that he is leading her safely and carefully."

In addition to these photos, Marie Claire has already reported that Kels asked Swift's actual security guard to step aside that night because she was basically in good hands with him. In a podcast with his brother Jason Kelsey, he discussed this.
