Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are making the most of their time together before their respective work commitments pick back up. The couple was spotted enjoying another night out in New York City on Saturday, October 12, holding hands as they arrived at Torrisi, a popular restaurant in the city. This marked their second public date in NYC over the weekend, following a fun Friday double date with their friends Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
In photos shared by the Daily Mail, Swift was seen turning heads in a chic gold velvet mini-dress with a corset-style bodice, paired with black platform sandals that gave her extra height. She completed her stylish look with a black Roberto Cavalli bag featuring the brand’s iconic initials, and accessorized with gold necklaces and her signature red lipstick.
Kelce, on the other hand, kept his look more laid-back, donning a blue polo shirt, khaki pants, and white sneakers. The 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end has a rare break from his NFL duties during the team’s bye week, following their recent victory over the New Orleans Saints on Monday, October 7, where Swift was spotted cheering for her boyfriend from the stands.
The Chiefs won’t return to the field until their October 20 game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Meanwhile, Swift, 34, is enjoying some downtime of her own after wrapping the European leg of her highly successful Eras Tour in August. She’s gearing up to hit the stage again on Friday, October 18, in Miami for the final U.S. stretch of the tour, which will take her to cities like New Orleans, Indianapolis, and Toronto before concluding in Vancouver in December.

Kelce had hinted at his bye week plans during the October 9 episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce. When Jason asked, “Do you have any bye week plans?” Travis coyly replied, “Of course I do,” but remained tight-lipped about the details. “If any of it comes out, I’m sure we’ll talk about it on the show,” he added.
This isn’t the first time Kelce has used his time off to spend time with Swift. Last year, during his November bye week, he hinted on the podcast that he was heading “closer to the equator,” which turned out to be a trip to Argentina to see Swift perform. During that concert, Swift gave Kelce a special shout-out by tweaking the lyrics to her song “Karma,” singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs,” much to the delight of fans. After the show, the couple shared their first public kiss backstage, marking a significant moment in their relationship.
Reflecting on the experience, Kelce gushed on the podcast, “I was blown away… The show was even more electric knowing that I had a little bit more to enjoy [it] for. Taylor absolutely ripped it. She killed it. It looked like she was having some fun up there.”
In the months since, despite their busy schedules, Swift and Kelce have continued to make time for each other. As Swift’s nearly two-year-long tour nears its end, sources say the couple has been having “serious conversations” about their future.
“Taylor has expressed how excited she is to settle down after her tour concludes,” a source revealed in September. “They’re on the same page,” the source added, hinting that the couple is growing closer as they look forward to what’s next in their relationship.
