Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce turned heads in New Orleans on Friday night when they stepped out for a dinner date at Lilette, a stylish French restaurant on Magazine Street.
The outing took place less than 48 hours before the Super Bowl, an unexpected move given that players traditionally remain in their hotels as the decisive game of the NFL season approaches.
Kelce, however, chose to spend the evening with Swift, making time for his girlfriend ahead of what he has described as the most significant game of his career.
The couple was spotted holding hands as they exited the restaurant, drawing attention from eager fans who had gathered outside. With word quickly spreading about their presence, a crowd formed near the steps, capturing the moment on camera.
Travis kept it casual in a tracksuit while Taylor Swift stunned in a black dress paired with Larroude Eleonor boots during their night out in New Orleans.
Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, aiming for what could be a historic Super Bowl three-peat.
While there is no indication that Kelce violated any team rules by stepping out with Swift, his appearance so close to the big game came as a big surprise. Some social media users were even skeptical at first, dismissing the footage of their arrival at the restaurant, believing it was a case of mistaken identity.
The 2025 Super Bowl 59 will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on Fox. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will face each other in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons.
