PARIS Hilton may be known as the ‘Queen of Coachella’ but Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were given royal treatment at the Neon Carnival afterparty on Saturday night.
The hotel heiress and entrepreneur, 43, was partying with her husband Carter Reum, and friends on a VIP platform next to the stage during Anderson .Paak’s set at the bash.

She was seen dancing up a storm with Real Housewives star Kyle Richards and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s fiancee Lauren Sanchez earlier in the evening.
While the others left the platform before 2 am, Paris and her friends were still dancing away when security quickly began escorting everyone off the VIP area next to the stage.
An eyewitness said, “All of a sudden about 20 people were ushered to the end of the platform, and seemed to be being kicked off to make way for a big arrival.
“They were all seen clambering down the stairs and into a dark VIP bar area as more than five security guards started prepping the tables and getting themselves into position.

“They didn’t seem to mind and it seemed as though they were fully aware their time was limited as someone else was arriving.”
The insider continued: “It was clear an A-list celebrity was coming in, but barely anyone realized at first as Travis walked onto the platform alone and sat down before being shielded by security.
“Taylor then joined him with Ice Spice and some members of their team, but it took a while for anyone in the crowd to clock on she was in the VIP section.”
LOVED UP
The eyewitness said they were “drinking, laughing and kissing” as Travis enjoyed Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy’s DJ set and repeatedly bobbed his head to the music.
As word traveled across the crowds that Taylor was in the vicinity James played one of the star’s hit songs as fans jumped up and down and tried to snap a photo of the pair.
Taylor was seen chatting and whispering to the gang while sipping a drink and chose to stay seated and low-key during the event – the biggest Coachella after-party.
The pop star had the perfect festival attire, opting for a black T-shirt, a patent leather jacket, and a pleated skort with a buckle garter by the athleisure wear brand, Halara.
She chose a pair of Gucci sneakers and a crossbody leather bag by Stella McCartney, giving Travis a sweet nod with a baseball cap with the logo for New Heights, the NFL star’s podcast.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end wore a white T-shirt and bandana around his neck with a plaid shirt, loose striped pants, and white Chucks.
Adding to his fun fit, he wore a “Happy Gilmore” baseball cap and designer shades.
The couple, who have been dating since September 2023, spent around an hour drinking and laughing with their friends on the VIP platform after arriving at around 2.29 am.
A-LIST CROWD
Taylor, 34, and her beau were pictured earlier in the day watching Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers set side of the stage before mingling with festival-goers.
The U.S. Sun was the first to report they were considering attending Neon Carnival, as their team chatted through security details to make sure they weren’t swarmed by fans.
Neon Carnival, which ran from 10 pm to 4 am, featured games, rides, brand activations, and a fully stocked open bar, while the event was being held this year in partnership with Patron El Alto.
Along with Paris Hilton, Kyle Richards, Jeff Bezos, and Lauren Sanchez, other celebs at the party included Leonardo Dicaprio and Vanderpump Rules cast members supporting James.
DJ Honey Bee opened the event, followed by Anderson. Paak, who brought out surprise guests including Busta Rhymes.
James then took to the stage for his set, which he later called “the best day of my life” in a social media post.
Taylor and Travis reunited on Friday after his trip to Cincinnati for his “New Heights” live podcast show at Fifth Third Arena at the University of Cincinnati alongside his brother, Jason Kelce.
The Daily Mail previously reported the couple had booked a stay at The Madison Club in La Quinta for their Coachella trip.
