Cue the rom-com soundtrack and the paparazzi frenzy—Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story took a very damp but dazzling turn on Saturday night (December 28) in New York City.
The 35-year-old pop queen and her NFL MVP boyfriend decided that a little rain wasn’t going to rain on their parade. So, armed with what we can only assume was a hefty dose of waterproof mascara and a lot of confidence, the couple braved the drizzle for a chic dinner date at Chez Margaux in the oh-so-trendy Meatpacking District. (We’re talking about a place where even the salads probably have designer labels.)
Taylor’s Look: The Grammy-winning icon strutted her stuff in an all-black ensemble that screamed “I own this city” while simultaneously whispering “I might break into a heartfelt acoustic set at any moment.” Her sparkly embellishments twinkled brighter than Times Square, and her shiny fringe bag had enough swing to make even Tarzan jealous. But the pièce de résistance? A pair of sizzling red Christian Louboutin heels that matched her signature red lipstick. Because obviously, Taylor doesn’t just step out—she steps it up.
Travis’ Ensemble: Meanwhile, Travis Kelce decided to fully commit to the “red” theme. Whether it was a nod to Taylor’s album or just an excuse to look like a walking Valentine’s Day card, the NFL star rocked a red outfit that would make even ketchup jealous. He paired it with a white top, black boots, and a green-and-white trucker hat—because nothing says “date night sophistication” like a trucker hat.
The Night Before: Oh, but wait—there’s more! This wasn’t just a one-night show of affection. The evening prior, Taylor and Travis teamed up with indie music royalty Jack Antonoff and actress Margaret Qualley for a double date. Because why have one iconic couple in your friend group when you can have two?
So, while most of us were binge-watching shows in our sweatpants, Taylor and Travis were out there proving that true love—and good fashion—can conquer even the gloomiest weather. Let’s just hope their umbrella game was as strong as their outfits.
