Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were the picture of romance as they stepped out for a date night in New York City on Saturday, December 28. Despite the rainy weather, the couple held hands while arriving at Shea Margo, a private club located in the Meatpacking District. Swift, 35, dazzled in an all-black ensemble adorned with sparkly embellishments, completing her look with striking red lipstick and Christian Louboutin heels. Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, made a bold statement in a red outfit, complemented by a white top, black boots, and a green and white trucker hat.
Their outing came shortly after Kelce celebrated a significant milestone in his NFL career. On Christmas Day, he played a pivotal role in the Chiefs’ 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking his 1,000th career reception. This achievement not only makes him the first player in Chiefs history to reach this milestone but also places him as the third tight end in league history to do so. Additionally, Kelce broke the franchise record for most career touchdowns, surpassing the legendary Tony Gonzalez with his record-breaking 77th touchdown catch, a feat he celebrated with a tribute dunk over the goalpost.
After clinching the number one seed in the AFC playoffs, Kelce took time off to join Swift in New York. The couple garnered attention from fans, who expressed admiration for Swift’s radiant appearance and Kelce’s stylish outfit. While some fans playfully compared Kelce’s red attire to Santa Claus, others praised their coordinated looks.
Following their dinner, Kelce was spotted shopping at a local designer store, Patron of the New, where he was seen carrying several shopping bags and browsing candles. Fans took to social media to comment on his shopping choices, with some noting that candles would make great gifts for Swift’s family.
Earlier that weekend, on December 27, the couple was also seen enjoying a double date with Swift’s longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff and his wife, Margaret Qualley, at Bondst Restaurant in Manhattan. Swift wore an oversized blazer from Stella McCartney and accessorized with sheer tights and platform boots, while Kelce opted for a more casual look with a brown cardigan and dark pants.
The romantic outings come as engagement rumors swirl around the couple. Swift recently celebrated her 35th birthday, and speculation arose when she appeared to hide her ring finger in photos from her birthday party, leading fans to wonder if Kelce had proposed.
As the Chiefs gear up for the NFL playoffs, Kelce’s time with Swift offers a much-needed break after an intense schedule of games. With the team securing home-field advantage, star players like Kelce are expected to rest as they prepare for their postseason run beginning January 18.
Despite the recent challenges, including a burglary at his home, Kelce’s spirits remain high, bolstered by the support of his team and the blossoming relationship with Swift. As they continue to navigate their high-profile lives, the couple’s shared moments in New York City capture the attention and affection of fans worldwide.
