See photos and get details about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romantic weekend that included a friend’s wedding and a day out at the 2024 U.S. Open.
As summer 2024 winds down, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story is heating up more than ever.
The couple have made several public appearances in New York City this weekend, most recently at the 2024 U.S. Open.
The Grammy winner and Kansas City Chiefs star were photographed sharing an intimate moment in the stands on day 14 of the tennis tournament Sept. 8. While watching U.S. player Taylor Fritz face off against Italy’s Jannik Sinner in the men’s singles final match, Travis was seen planting a sweet kiss on Taylor’s head.
The “Cruel Summer” singer wore a vintage-style red gingham sundress and chunky sandals to the event, which took place at STA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, N.Y. Travis sported a white Gucci cardigan, collared shirt, shorts and bucket hat with red and green stripes, as well as brown shoes.
The couple was joined by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany Mahomes.
The previous night, the two stepped out for a date night at model Karen Elson’s wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster elsewhere in New York City.
Taylor wore a sleeveless, ivory, floral-print Zimmermann Halliday Scallop midi cutout dress, strappy blush Christian Louboutin sandals and her signature red lipstick, paired with a pale blue jacquard Vivienne Westwood purse. Travis sported a black button-down shirt and matching pants and shoes.
The two had also enjoyed a dinner date at a pizza restaurant in the city Sept. 6. Their recent outings have marked their most high-profile joint appearances since they began dating last summer.
Taylor and Travis had jetted off to New York City soon after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens in their season opener game at K.C.’s Arrowhead Stadium, where Taylor cheered on her boyfriend and his team.
She had attended most of the star tight end’s games last season and was on hand on witness the Chiefs’ Super Bowl 2024 victory in February, where she and the athlete kissed on the field on live TV before continuing the celebrations at an after-party. And Travis in turn has attended more than a dozen of Taylor’s Era tour concerts, even joining her onstage in London in June.
Look back at the pair’s road to romance…
July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying
After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as “metal as hell”—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.
“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”
August 2023: Enchanted to Meet You
Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.
As he later noted of the era, “That ‘stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time.”
