A 2010 tweet by Travis Kelce about the moon resurfaced in April 2026, creating a viral moment linking pop culture and space exploration.
On Aug. 24, 2010, Kelce wrote, “The moon looks crazy tonight… Imma chill out here for a little and just visualize my success n vibe to the scenary.” NASA’s official X account responded on April 5, 2026, saying, “It’s been a long time coming…🌕.”
The phrase immediately resonated with Taylor Swift fans, as “It’s been a long time coming” is a lyric from her 2019 song “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince.”

Fans delighted in the playful cosmic connection, tweeting messages like, “NASA you swiftie!!!” and suggesting Swift songs for astronauts to listen to on their missions.
Despite the viral moment, Swift herself has no interest in venturing beyond Earth.
While promoting her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, the 36-year-old singer told BBC2 Radio’s Scott Mills in October, “Never. There’s no reason to do that.
I don’t want to do that ever… it’s cold, it’s scary, I don’t know if I can come back down.”
Although Swift shares interests with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, the lunar adventure is not one of them.
The Artemis II crew has also joined the pop culture fun. NASA updated its Instagram bio to read “In our Moon era 🚀."
