Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift, were spotted on a date in New York City during his team's bye week.

The couple was photographed at the downtown Manhattan eatery Torrisi Saturday (October 12) night. The date came five days after Swift attended Kelce's Monday Night Football win against the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium, having missed the Chiefs' previous two road games, which reportedly coincided with preparation for the relaunch of her 'Eras Tour' later this month.

Kelce recorded a season-best nine receptions for 70 yards, coming off a seven-catch, 89-yard performance in Week 4, following an uncharacteristic slump to start the season. The Chiefs defeated the Saints, 26-13, to improve to 5-0, joining the Minnesota Vikings as the only remaining undefeated NFL teams through the first five games of the 2024 season with both on a bye this week.

Swift has attended most of Kelce's games that haven't conflicted with her 'Eras Tour' schedule since they began dating, which included flying from Tokyo after the completion of her concert to Las Vegas for the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVIII victory against the San Francisco 49ers. The couple initially went public with their relationship when she attended his game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium last September.

Kelce famously revealed that he attempted to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number when he attended her concert at Arrowhead Stadium prior to their relationship last summer. Swift later said that the three-time Super Bowl champion "very adorably put me on blast" when he acknowledged the situation on his New Heights podcast, which she said "was metal as hell" while being featured as Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' in December 2023.

The Chiefs entered the 2024 NFL season coming off their back-to-back Super Bowl victories and their third in five years. Kelce signed an extension that will pay him an average annual salary of $17.125 million during the next two seasons, having previously been set to make $12 million in 2024 and $16.25 during the 2025 season. The 34-year-old currently ranks fourth among NFL tight ends in both career receptions (910) and receiving yards (11,362), as well as sixth in receiving touchdowns (74) in 12th NFL season.
