On Friday night, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made headlines in New Orleans when they went out to dinner at Lilette, a chic French eatery on Magazine Street.

Given that players usually stay in their hotels as the NFL season’s pivotal game draws near, the outing, which happened less than 48 hours before the Super Bowl, was an unexpected move.

To make time for his girlfriend before what he has called the most important game of his career, Kelce, on the other hand, decided to spend the evening with Swift.

As the couple left the restaurant, excited fans gathered outside to watch them, and they were seen holding hands. As soon as word got out about them, a crowd gathered by the steps, and the moment was caught on camera.

During their night out in New Orleans, Taylor Swift looked stunning in a black dress and Larroude Eleonor boots, while Travis stayed casual in a tracksuit.

In an attempt to pull off a historic Super Bowl three-peat, Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are getting ready to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Although Kelce’s appearance so close to the big game was unexpected, there is no evidence that he broke any team rules by going out with Swift. The video of their arrival at the restaurant was initially viewed with skepticism by some social media users, who thought it was a case of mistaken identity.

Fox will broadcast the 2025 Super Bowl 59, which is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. ET. For the second time in three seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will square off in the Super Bowl.
