Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stepped out together again on September 18, a rare public appearance for a couple that has kept a noticeably low profile since their wedding this past summer. Fan-shot video captured the pair holding hands as they arrived at 1587 Prime in Kansas City to celebrate Patrick Mahomes’ 31st birthday, marking one of just a handful of joint outings the newlyweds have made since marrying.
The Celebration Actually Came a Day After His Real Birthday
Mahomes actually turned 31 the day before, on Thursday, September 17, with the Friday night gathering serving as more of a belated celebration among teammates and family members. The event fell just two days ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, coming off a decisive 31-10 win over the Denver Broncos the previous week.
Swift Kept Her Look Simple, Strapless, and Unmistakably Chic
Swift kept her outfit simple for the occasion, opting for a slinky black strapless midi dress featuring a pointed, swooping neckline and a fitted waist design. She paired the look with a small black handbag and wore her hair down around her shoulders, keeping her signature bangs as the only real styling flourish of the night.
Kelce Matched the Vibe With His Own Minimalist Outfit
Kelce matched his wife’s understated approach with his own minimalist outfit choice, choosing an olive-green two-piece set consisting of a short-sleeved top and matching shorts. The coordinated but distinctly casual pairing fit the relaxed, low-key tone of the entire evening, despite the excited crowd of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the couple.
The Restaurant Itself Belongs to Both Men Being Celebrated
The venue itself carries real significance for both Kelce and the birthday guest of honor that night. 1587 Prime is jointly owned by Kelce and Mahomes, making the Kansas City steakhouse something of a home base for Chiefs-related celebrations generally. The birthday dinner marked Swift’s second visit to the restaurant in less than a week.
This Was Actually Her Second LBD Moment There This Week
Just days earlier, Swift had reportedly visited the same restaurant wearing a completely different black dress, the “Franca dress” from Rails, priced at $238. That earlier look featured a full poplin skirt, a dropped waist, and twisted straps, giving Swift two distinctly different little black dress moments at the same restaurant within a single week.
Public Outings Have Stayed Rare Since Their July Wedding
Swift and Kelce married on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in front of roughly 1,000 guests, and their public appearances together have stayed noticeably limited in the months since that day. Beyond attending a friend’s wedding shortly after their own, the couple has largely kept a low profile compared to their more visible pre-wedding dating era.
A New York Date Night Came Just Weeks Before This One
Earlier this month, the pair stepped out for their first New York City date night since the wedding took place, dining at the upscale Indian restaurant Ambassadors Clubhouse. That appearance, alongside the Kansas City birthday dinner, suggests the couple may be gradually easing back into more regular public outings as the NFL season gets underway.
Tom Cruise Got a Football Lesson From Swift Herself
Swift also attended Kelce’s first game of the season, sitting in the VIP box alongside his mother, Donna Kelce, and an unexpected guest: actor Tom Cruise. Cruise later discussed the experience on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, revealing that Swift spent part of the game explaining the sport to him. “She was schooling me on football,” he said.
The Newlyweds Are Slowly Easing Back Into the Spotlight
Between the football game appearance, the NYC dinner, and now two visits to 1587 Prime in a single week, the newlyweds’ public outings are becoming slightly more frequent, even if they remain far less common than during their earlier years of dating. For now, both Swift and Kelce appear content keeping most of married life largely out of the spotlight.
