Newly Engaged Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Step Out for Cozy Dinner Date in N.Y.C. During Chiefs Bye Week

Travis Kelce is spending some downtime with fiancée Taylor Swift during his bye week.

The newly engaged couple was photographed arriving at a cozy date night at The Polo Bar in New York City on Wednesday, Nov. 5.

Swift, 35, sported a dark off-the-shoulder long-sleeve shirt, which she paired with gray wide-leg trousers and a black baguette purse. Kelce, 36, coordinated with his fiancée in a black Henley long-sleeve shirt, with a pair of dark green trousers.

The couple’s Wednesday date night comes amid Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs’ bye week. The Chiefs tight end very briefly chatted about the bye week during the Wednesday, Nov. 5 episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.

Travis is recovering from his team’s loss against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Nov. 2, and is awaiting the team’s game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 16.  But during the brothers’ podcast, Jason tried to get Travis to discuss his off-the-field schedule.

“I’m thinking about how the f— are we gonna beat the Denver Broncos? That’s gonna be on my mind for the next two weeks,” Travis said when asked about his plans.

“Well, for the next week, at least, take your mind a little bit elsewhere,” Jason urged him. “What are you doing? Anything fun? You’re gonna get into travel? What are you doing here? What are you doing over the week? Tell us about your personal life.”

Travis shut down the conversation, saying, “No. No chance.”

The bye week follows Swift’s appearance at the Chiefs’ v. Washington Commanders on Monday, Oct. 27. At the game, Swift wore head-to-toe Chiefs red, including a $550 Courrèges sweater and matching $650 Courrèges skirt. She also wore knee-high red boots and carried a red bag.

During the game, Kelce celebrated his 83rd career touchdown and marked the occasion with a sweet nod to Swift. After he scored the historic touchdown, he was seen looking up at the suite — where Swift was watching the game — and doing a bit of the choreography from the pop superstar’s “The Fate of Ophelia” music video.

The late October game was Swift’s third time attending a Chiefs game this season, since she and Kelce announced their engagement on August 26.

Kelce collaborated with Kindred Lubeck, the founder of fine jewelry label Artifex Fine, on Swift’s engagement ring, selecting a massive old mine brilliant cut diamond —a gemstone with antique references.

Since they announced their big news, Swift embarked on the press tour for her album The Life of a Showgirl and gushed over her new piece of jewelry.

“I’m still like, ‘Oh man, wow!’ “The Grammy winner exclaimed during her Oct. 6 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “I look at it constantly, like it doesn’t feel in any way normal for me.”

“She’s been super focused on work commitments. She’s not kidding when she says she’s exhausted. She’s ready for a break so she can focus on the wedding,” the insider said, adding, “She’s very excited about planning the wedding.”

A second source said that the engagement “hasn’t fully hit either of them yet,” explaining, “It’s still kind of strange and exciting and new to say ‘fiancé’ when they’re talking about each other, and they both kind of laugh every time they catch themselves saying it. They’ve just been taking it all in quietly.”
