The Instagram account of Mermade Hair, a hair products company which apparently hosted the couple at the concert, posted a promotional video this past weekend that featured Tayshia and her rumored boyfriend hugging each other.
Tayshia had her arms wrapped tightly around Luke's neck as they posed for a picture, and they were both smiling big.
Tayshia was wearing a white crop top and camouflage jeans while Luke was sporting a black Eras Tour T-shirt and jeans.
The video also featured former The Bachelorette stars Becca Kufrin and Rachel Recchia as well as Bachelor in Paradise alum Genevieve Parisi.
And Vanderpump Rules stars Scheana Shay, James Kennedy, and Ally Lewber were also in attendance.
For her part, Tayshia took to social media and posted her own photos from the concert on Sunday, but she has yet to go Instagram official with Luke.
Tayshia only uploaded an image of her and Luke's feet standing next to each other, and she wrote, "Ahhhhh a night for the books!!! Still can't believe I made it to the eras tour!!!"
Tayshia proceeded to ask her followers, "What surprise songs are we manifesting next?!? lmk. #erastour #swiftieforlife @mermade.hair thank you so much!!"
Tayshia and Luke have been keeping their romance very private ever since their relationship made headlines in April.
"They're mad about each other and serious about their future," a source told Us Weekly in late May.

An eyewitness said they were "kissing" and looked "very lovey dovey" at the time.
Summer House star and Hubb House PR founder Lindsay Hubbard was the person to unveil Tayshia and Luke's relationship in April when she had posted a photo of her friends on Easter Sunday.
Lindsay apparently didn't realize at the time that Tayshia and Luke were holding hands in the picture, which gave away their secret romance.
Lindsay therefore deleted the photo on social media, only to upload a new one hours later with Tayshia and Luke noticeably cropped out of it.
Lindsay's quick fix, however, didn't fool people, and so she joked about how it was an "awkward" situation in her post's comments.

On April 25, Tayshia appeared to confirm the speculation she's dating someone -- without identifying her beau -- via a TikTok video of herself smiling in the sunshine outdoors.

Tayshia mouthed, "Ain't no way," in the video, which she captioned, "Stick to the plan #hotgirlsummer #summervibes #hotgirl #summer #summertime."
Many fans assumed Tayshia was referring to Luke's texts, and one woman even wrote that she's "ready for the hard launch." Several people also noted how they'd love to see Tayshia appear on Summer House.
And several days earlier, Tayshia teased her "date night" outfits in another TikTok video.
"Let's get these fit checks goin! #fitcheck #datenightoutfit #outfitoftheday," Tayshia wrote as she showed off different clothing styles and options.
A fan asked in the comments section, "Was the date with Luke?!?!"
Tayshia didn't respond to the question, but she did thank a different follower who told her that she looked beautiful, proving that she was reading her comments.
Andy Cohen grilled Lindsay about her eyebrow-raising Easter post during the April 17 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
"Why delete your Easter picture and then repost it with Luke and Tayshia from The Bachelorette cropped out? They were in the first pic and then they were cropped, so now you've caused a lot of suspicions and eyeballs," Andy asked.
Lindsay replied to the host, "I did not know they were holding hands until everyone started commenting and was like, 'Oh, they're holding hands!' And I was like, 'Oh sh-t, they're holding hands!'"
Andy went on to ask Lindsay if her former co-star -- who did not return for Summer House's seventh season, which premiered on Bravo earlier this year -- asked her to delete the photo capturing his intimate moment with Tayshia.
Lindsay said she didn't want to divulge the "details" about her conversation with Luke, explaining, "But I understand what it's like to be in the public and the pressure that you feel from viewers and fans [and] everywhere."
Andy responded, "They're just trying to make it work," to which Lindsay agreed, "Honestly."

In addition to Lindsay's photo evidence of Tayshia and Luke together, the two reality TV stars had also been spotted walking in New York City weeks before their shopping day at Tiffany's.
Luke previously dated former co-star Hannah Berner and The Real Housewives of Potomac star Ashley Darby, who also starred on Winter House and announced in January that she and Luke had called it quits.
Ashley referred to her "situation," meaning her ongoing divorce from Michael Darby, as the reason why things between Luke and herself didn't work out during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live at the time.
"Really, my life is very complicated. As you guys can imagine, I'm going through a very difficult situation," Ashley continued. "Luke was a trooper, believe me; he went through some things."
And Tayshia -- who will be one of the reality TV stars competing on The GOAT when it comes to Amazon Freevee -- was previously engaged to her The Bachelorette 16 winner and ex-fiance Zac Clark.
Tayshia and Zac announced their breakup in November 2021, about one year after their engagement aired on ABC.
Tayshia told Us in December that she was "enjoying" her alone time and focusing on herself, which she dubbed her "biggest priority."
Over the last year or so, Tayshia said she's been working on her "philanthropy efforts," her love of the fashion industry, fitness, and her own mental health.
Back in June 2022, Tayshia admitted she was done dating men in Bachelor Nation.
"I think I'm good, respectfully," Tayshia told Entertainment Tonight at the time. "Respectfully, I think I'm good. I think I'm good."
But Tayshia planned to keep an open mind about potentially dating another reality TV star, in general.

Tayshia acknowledged it's very difficult to navigate a relationship with someone in the public eye and she'd want "to protect" her next relationship.
"I kind of, maybe, [want to] keep it quiet and under wraps for a minute and then maybe let the people in on the news after a little while," Tayshia shared of how she'd handle having a new man in her life.
"People are private investigators. I don't even know how they figure out half the things they do now."
Tayshia said she understands her love life "is exciting" to fans, who have followed her ever since she appeared on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor in early 2019, but she'd like "to have a normal relationship, to some extent" in the future.
After starring on the second half of The Bachelorette 16 in 2020, Tayshia co-hosted The Bachelorette's 17th and 18th seasons alongside Kaitlyn Bristowe.
Although Tayshia has been busy in her professional life, she wrote on Instagram back in May 2022 how she'd still like to get married and start a family "more than anything."
"[I'm] waiting to be in a healthy supportive relationship while simultaneously being a successful woman; a cohesive unit, not one or the other," Tayshia wrote in an Instagram comment, slamming a troll.
"I want to build an empire, I want to go after my dreams and I want my partner to be supportive of that as they follow their own dreams as well. I want a relationship where we cheer each other on. None of that has changed."
Tayshia said in 2022 that she'd eventually like to settle down with a man who is "strong, supportive, kind, ambitious, and empathetic."
Tayshia and Zac still haven't revealed any details about their split, but Us reported in late 2021 that the former couple "couldn't fully commit to each other" due to their busy schedules and they "eventually realized it wasn't going to work and their relationship ran its course."
When Tayshia brought up her breakup on The Men Tell All for Michelle Young's The Bachelorette season in 2021, she called the time "really tough" and "very heavy" for her. She said she was "heartbroken" and still very much in love with Zac.

In a February 2021 interview with Marie Claire, the previously-divorced The Bachelorette star revealed she had decided to keep her own place "for peace of mind" since this is "not [her] first rodeo."
Before her The Bachelor casting in late 2018, Tayshia married and divorced her college sweetheart, Josh Bourelle.
