Fresh off ’s Christmas Day football victory, he reunited with girlfriend in the Big Apple.
Swift and Kelce, both 35, were spotted in social media footage heading to dinner in New York City on Friday, December 27, coordinating in tan outfits.
Swift shimmered in a bedazzled, tweed Stella McCartney blazer over a black minidress, diamond-patterned Sheertex tights with Versace platform boots. Kelce, for his part, opted for a beige cardigan and khakis with an olive-colored shirt and a black baseball cap.
The couple were seen holding hands as they entered and exited the eatery. Swift and the Kansas City tight end were also spotted alongside her longtime collaborator and his wife, actress .
Two days earlier, Kelce helped secure the Chiefs the No. 1 seed in its AFC conference going into the playoffs. The Chiefs beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Christmas Day game on Wednesday, December 25. During the matchup, Kelce scored his third touchdown of the season and broke ’s team record for most receptions.
“It’s everything to me. Tony’s been a mentor to me, he’s been there right there for me [with] any questions I’ve ever had,” Kelce said at the time. “I feel like I’m still trying to fill that guy’s shoes. He’s such an unbelievable competitor and I’ve got so much love for him. It’s an honor to be in conversations with him.”
Swift, who did not go to the game, subtly supported her boyfriend by dropping a “like” on several social media posts about the newly shattered record.
Swift and Kelce have been dating since summer 2023 after a missed connection at her Eras Tour, which the NFL star later called out on an episode of his “New Heights” podcast.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she told TIME in a December 2023 profile. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”
Swift and Kelce took their relationship public when she hit up one of his Chiefs games that fall.
“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game. We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date,” the Grammy winner quipped to the outlet. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.”
According to Swift, she and Kelce are both “just proud of each other.”
Kelce, for his part, feels the same and publicly attended many of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts since they got together. After she concluded the shows earlier this month, he organized a celebratory “End of an Era” theme party with many of their mutual friends.
