The couple, who spent over three hours at the restaurant, looked effortlessly stylish — Swift in an oversized blazer and heels and Kelce in a casual yet trendy ensemble. Yet, something else caught the attention of eagle-eyed netizens.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen enjoying a cozy dinner date at Del Frisco’s Grille in New York City. The couple arrived together around 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 14, and spent over three hours dining and enjoying each other’s company.
In new photos, Swift and Kelce entered the restaurant, dressed stylishly for their evening out. Taylor Swift wore an oversized gray blazer, accentuating her look with sleek high heels. Her hair was styled in soft waves, completing the elegant yet effortless ensemble.
Kelce opted for a more relaxed outfit, sporting a loose-fitting gray button-up shirt with distressed jeans. He paired the look with casual sneakers, balancing comfort and style.
However, their outing sparked conversation online, as netizens couldn’t help but notice the couple’s hair. “She needs a hair stylist,” one person commented. Another shared, “I feel sooo seen with the little strip of unstraightened hair in the back.”
A third netizen typed, “Not Taylor’s hair looking like all of us in middle school not knowing how to straighten the back.” “Cut that hair Travis!” someone else wrote.
“What were they doing in that car 🤔 hair is all messy,” another eagle-eyed netizen remarked.”Lmao. He looks so bad. That bowl cut 😂,” another person shared. Someone else typed, “Ok Travis the hair is getting out of control.
Despite the constant attention over their outings, Swift and Kelce continue to enjoy their time together. Just days before their New York City date, the couple was seen having dinner in Park City, Utah, on March 11.
Their recent March outings come after Kelce was asked whether he would propose to the pop star at the Super Bowl LIX. Kelce had playful responses for journalists eager to know if he was ready to take the next step in his relationship with Swift and his answers left fans buzzing with mixed opinions.
One reporter directly asked Kelce, “Are the rumors true? Are you proposing to Taylor at the half? At halftime,” to which the footballer answered, “Wouldn’t you like to know.”
He was later asked twice in a row whether he planned to give Swift a ring. Amused by the repeated questioning, he told reporters, “Man, back to back, you guys are crazy.”
Travis Kelce never gave a direct response to the proposal question, a move that has stirred chatter from fans. “He’s not interested in marrying her or else he would’ve proposed by now,” one person claimed bluntly. A user who believed marriage simply wasn’t in the cards, stated, “That’s a big no.”
Another fan added, “She’s not gonna marry him. He knows it, that’s why he shifts away from it.” Some questioned whether a proposal at the big game was even desirable. “No girl would want that,” one person commented.
Meanwhile, a fan who hoped an engagement was on the horizon enthusiastically wrote, “Well it would be about time….this relationship needs a stamp! Hope it’s soon.” However, not everyone felt the urgency to put a ring on it, as one fan pointed out, “Leave them alone…no rush… they seem happy just the way they are.”
Some were more concerned about timing, with one person writing, “Hopefully not during the Superbowl. That should be private.” Finally, a few sided with Kelce for avoiding the topic, as a fan remarked, “Dude that is private information I don’t blame him for dodging the questions.”
Kelce was more forthcoming about other questions concerning his relationship with Swift. When asked about the upcoming game, he acknowledged the challenge of being apart from his girlfriend during the playoff season.
Kelce admitted that, although he wasn’t there to support her during that time, he believed the time apart played a role in their success. The 35-year-old also reflected on how both of them value the tangible aspects of their relationship and expressed that the connection they share is undeniable.
Kelce also discussed his desire to keep up with Swift’s work ethic. He joked, “I better hold up my end of the bargain, right?” adding, “I mean, if she’s out here being the superstar she is, never taking no for an answer, and always working her tail off, I better match that energy for sure.”
On a lighter note, Kelce shared his favorite dish that Swift makes when asked what meal of hers would fill him up for the big game. He said, “She is quite the cook. I would say, man, I’m a breakfast guy, man. Her pop-tarts are unbelievable, man. Her homemade pop-tarts are unbelievable.”
Kelce and Swift have been sparking online conversations with how they consistently show up for each other at events and in their personal life. On December 18, 2024, Kelce reportedly threw a surprise party for Swift, prompting speculative comments from netizens who noticed something about one of her fingers.
The couple danced the night away at the Eras-themed surprise party, which reportedly marked the end of the musical star’s incredibly successful and record-breaking $2 billion Eras Tour.
Their party was a spectacle of glitz and style, with Swift commanding attention in a black Balmain halterneck minidress priced at approximately $3,991.07 (£3,190). The intricately designed piece featured metallic threading and a sweetheart neckline, exuding elegance and sophistication.
Silver sequins and crystals traced a line down the center, and the dress’s flared skirt and stretch-knit fabric added a playful yet refined touch. Swift paired her ensemble with long diamond earrings, delicate diamond rings, and a pink beaded friendship bracelet — a signature accessory from her Eras Tour.
Her iconic red lipstick, cat-eye makeup, and chic ponytail completed the look. The event’s dress code embraced the spirit of the Eras Tour, with guests showcasing outfits inspired by the “Bad Blood” singer’s musical journey.
Kelce wore a version of the iconic “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” costume he debuted onstage during Swift’s London Eras Tour show in June 2024. The sleek black suit with tails evoked a timeless elegance, punctuated by details that tied perfectly into the evening’s celebratory theme.
Swift’s gal pal Brittany Mahomes, glowing in her pregnancy, donned a silver fringe minidress paired with bedazzled cowboy boots, a clear nod to Swift’s “Fearless” era. Meanwhile, her footballer husband Patrick Mahomes mirrored Kelce’s ensemble.
In a playful homage to the “Reputation” album, Ashley Avignone accessorized her look with a replica reptile draped around her neck, while Lyndsay Bell embraced the “Lover” era with a pink outfit.
Kelce’s doting mom Donna Kelce joined in on the fun, too. She dazzled in a sparkly maroon top and pants as she set the dancefloor ablaze alongside fellow revelers.
The venue itself reflected the evening’s theme, with details such as a large illuminated “ERA” sign, friendship bracelets, and lit-up accessories scattered across tables. Additionally, guests indulged in a curated themed drink menu.
Photos also showed Kelce with a microphone in his hand, making a heartfelt speech, which added a personal touch to an evening that celebrated Swift’s monumental success.
Fans were quick to dissect the snapshots from Swift’s surprise party, sparking a frenzy of speculation online. Many zeroed in on one particular detail — her ring finger.
“She straight up has her ring finger blurred who else is calling a Travis Taylor secret engagement [sic]??” penned someone on X, who shared close-up photos of the star holding her drink.
Another added, “Is it me or does it seem like Taylor is going out of her way to not show her ring finger on right [sic] hand?”
Theories about a possible engagement continued to gain momentum, with yet another observer commenting, “pretty sure Taylor Swift is engaged 💍 so happy for her travis seems to really adore her & respect her career the queen of romance songs deserves a happily ever after [sic] 🥰.”
