Before Taylor Swift supports Travis Kelce at the 2025 Super Bowl, she is hitting the town in New Orleans with her inner circle.
The pop star, 35, was spotted in the city on Saturday, February 8, as the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 35, prepared to play the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome the next evening on Sunday, February 9. In social media footage, Swift was seen arriving at Gianna Restaurant, wearing a fuzzy Charlotte Simone coat, with the Haim sisters. Inside the eatery, she reunited with Travis’ pregnant sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce. Swift and Kylie, who is married to Travis’ brother Jason Kelce, were spotted hugging in online pics. Swift’s parents, Scott and Andrea, also joined the crew.
One night earlier, Swift and Travis enjoyed a double date with his Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, at the city’s Lilette establishment.
Swift has been by Travis’s side throughout his 2025 playoff run. After the Chiefs bye week, Swift ventured to Kansas City, Missouri, on January 18 to watch Travis and his teammates beat the Houston Texans 23-14 in the divisional round. She then celebrated with Travis on the field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 26 after the Chiefs bested the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game to earn a spot in the 2025 Super Bowl. The couple were seen kissing and hugging as they enjoyed the victory alongside Travis’ family, friends and fellow players.
Every Time Taylor Swift Attended an NFL Game to Cheer for Travis Kelce
The Chiefs are hoping to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles. The team’s streak began in February 2023 when they defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, with a final score of 38-35. One year later, the Chiefs became back-to-back champions after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, with a final score of 25-22.
Swift notably performed three sold-out Eras Tour concerts at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans in October 2024. Though Travis was unable to attend due to his NFL schedule, at each show, Swift made a nod to him during her performance of “Midnight Rain,” mimicking throwing a football, signaling a touchdown and recreating Kelce’s first-down gesture before kissing three fingers and holding them up in a reference to the Chiefs’ pursuit of a three-peat. Fans viewed the gestures as Swift’s way of blessing the stadium for Travis’ eventual Super Bowl appearance.
At a Monday, February 3, press conference leading up to the big game, Travis was asked by reporters about how Swift’s “Tayvoodoo” — a term Swifties use to describe the singer’s apparent karmic influence — factored into his return to the Super Bowl this year.
“We [both] love to manifest things, for sure,” Travis said. “And you can’t say it’s not real because we’re here, right? So whatever she was doing I’m sure it helped, and it definitely, for me not being able to be here supporting her during those weeks, it made me feel like I was there.”
