Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Enjoy Pre-Super Bowl Date
The power couples dined at one of the city’s most renowned French restaurants, described as one of the “sexiest” spots in New Orleans, where they reportedly spent a few hours enjoying their meal in a private room.
“A crowd of a few dozen people had gathered outside, cheering and taking videos as they left just after 10 p.m.,” Nola News reported.
Swift, who arrived in town to cheer on Kelce as the Chiefs prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 2025 at Caesars Superdome, looked stunning in a black turtleneck mini dress paired with sleek boots.
Kelce, on the other hand, opted for a more relaxed look, sporting a gray tracksuit. The couple was flanked by security as they exited the restaurant and made their way to a waiting car.

Kelce’s pre-Super Bowl date night comes as a bit of a surprise, as most players typically remain in their hotels in the final days leading up to the big game.
According to the NFL, “coaches and players spend the two weeks before the Super Bowl poring over their opponent’s game film and shoring up any areas of concern. Teams keep the same Wednesday through Friday practice schedule to maintain regular-season habits”.
Kelce himself has previously spoken about how important it is for him to stay focused ahead of the NFL’s biggest showdown.
“We’ve got one week, we do what we need to do then we can party in Vegas for the rest of our lives,” Travis told his brother, Jason Kelce, on their “New Heights” podcast. “Everybody is pretty motivated and locked in at the task at hand.”

The pop superstar and the “Only Murders in the Building” actress reportedly had a “giggly” and lighthearted evening, enjoying each other’s company away from the public eye.
“It was just the two of them and their security guards,” a restaurant spokesperson told Page Six. “They were very sweet, giggly with each other, and having fun. They were open to talking to us and not brushing us off, so that was really nice to see.”

It wasn’t just the restaurant employees who had an unforgettable evening because the bartender also got his own exciting moment. He took to Instagram to share his excitement after serving Swift a cocktail appropriately named London Boy, inspired by her song of the same name from her “Lover” album.
“I can’t believe I got to serve The London Boy to #taylorswift herself! Life is such an amazing experience,” he wrote.
Quoting fellow musician Halsey, he referenced the saying, “Don’t meet your heroes, they’re all f-cking weirdos,” but insisted that Swift proved otherwise.
“But she was wrong,” he continued. “I got to meet my idol and she was as kind as she is stunning!”
