Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted in New York City on Thursday evening, enjoying a dinner date to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s announcement of his return for the 2025 NFL season. The couple, both 35, showcased their affection as they strolled hand-in-hand through the vibrant streets of Manhattan.
Swift dazzled onlookers in a colorful crochet dress complemented by yellow heels, while carrying a stylish brown purse. Kelce opted for a more casual look, sporting a cream long-sleeved shirt and matching pants, topped off with a Louis Vuitton bucket hat and sneakers. Their outing comes just days after Kelce confirmed his decision to continue his football career, putting to rest speculation about potential retirement.
During an appearance on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show,” Kelce revealed that he is committed to playing his 13th season with the Chiefs. “It’s time for year 13,” he declared, emphasizing his determination to get into peak shape during the offseason. He reflected on his last game, expressing dissatisfaction with his performance and stating, “I can’t go out like that.”
Kelce’s announcement was shared with fans through a humorous meme on the Kelsey Brothers podcast, “New Heights,” where he expressed his eagerness to return to the field and chase his fourth Super Bowl title. The tight end has enjoyed a storied career with the Chiefs, having been a key player in their victories in the 2019, 2022, and 2023 Super Bowls.
Swift, the 14-time Grammy winner and one of the world’s biggest pop stars, has been a supportive presence in Kelce’s life since they began dating in late 2023. She has been seen at numerous games throughout the past two seasons, including making an impressive dash from Japan to Las Vegas to attend Super Bowl 58 after her final concert in Tokyo. Her unwavering support has made headlines and endeared her to fans of both music and sports alike.
As Kelce prepares for the upcoming season, the couple’s public displays of affection signal a strong bond that continues to flourish in the spotlight. With Swift cheering him on, Kelce appears poised to tackle the challenges ahead as he aims for another championship title with the Chiefs.
