In what can only be described as the crossover event of the century, NFL star Travis Kelce, 34, led his squad (aka his pop sensation girlfriend, Taylor Swift, also 34) on a post-pizza adventure through the mean streets of Brooklyn on Friday night. And by “mean streets,” we mean hipster haven, where everyone pretends they don’t care, but they’re totally taking notes on Kelce’s outfit.
Emerging from Lucali, arguably one of New York’s most exclusive pizza joints (because regular pizza just isn’t enough for these two), Travis waved to the crowd like he was running a victory lap—except, instead of dodging tackles, he was avoiding stepping on loose sidewalk gum. Ever the gentleman, he held onto Taylor’s hand, because, you know, love and New York sidewalks both need a steady grip.
Now let’s talk fashion, because if you thought football players only rocked jerseys, think again. Kelce was serving us “fashion-forward linebacker” vibes in his striped pants, a cream sweater vest that screamed, “I can bench press you and explain art to you,” and tennis shoes—perfect for sprinting to catch the subway… or a paparazzi-free escape. Topping off his look was a “New York, New York” baseball cap, a bold reminder in case anyone forgot where they were.
Taylor, on the other hand, stepped straight out of a fashion catalog for world-dominating pop stars. She sported black shorts that might have been small but were mighty, a sheer top for dramatic flair, and a black blazer—because nothing says “I’m casually eating pizza” like power-dressing for a boardroom meeting. She sealed the deal with knee-high boots and a matching bag, prepared for whatever the night—or gravity—threw at her.
But this wasn’t just a pizza-fueled date night. The previous evening, Taylor had taken a break from crafting her next billion-dollar album to cheer on her man at the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener. With the energy of a sold-out stadium concert, she watched as Travis and his Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 27-20. Arrowhead Stadium might’ve been the location, but let’s be real—Taylor was the real MVP of the night.
Pizza was consumed, hands were held, and somewhere, a touchdown dance was performed in striped pants. Stay tuned for the next chapter of this unlikely yet somehow perfect rom-com, now playing in an NFL stadium near you!
