Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s visit to Harbour Island brought a massive surge of online interest to The Bahamas and particularly to Harbour Island.
Swift, enjoying the clear waters off a Harbour Island beach, wearing a yellow bikini and a shirtless Kelce in swim trunks triggered a bump in online searches for the vacation destination.
The couple reportedly stayed at Harbour Island’s Rosalita House, prompting a 1,556% surge in searches for the luxury, beachfront villa, according to the Daily Mail.
The outlet also reported that search queries for the Bahamas jumped 341% after photos of the couple kissing in the waves and sunbathing on the beach surfaced online.
Harbour Island is a popular destination for the rich, and famous.
While the paparazzi was chasing after Swift and Kelce, Bahamian fine-art photographer Ana-Lisa Wells was photographing life in Harbor Island for the Bahamian Project.

Wells spent two days photographing the people and culture of Briland for the twelve year-old art and culture initiative, with accommodations provided by Tracey Barry at The Landing, a luxurious, historic boutique hotel, that dates back to 1800.
