I’ve developed a new favorite gossip sub-genre: gossip about how Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce party and eat. I also love hearing about their dates, which is connected to this. But Travis and Taylor party a lot and they party well, separately and together. I’ll admit that before Tay started dating Travis, I had a lot of stereotypes about how professional football players would party. I imagined it to be really fratty, gross, excessive, a bacchanalian mess. I never imagined that after booking a spot into their third Super Bowl in a row, Chiefs players and their partners would go to their favorite Kansas City hotspot and eat sliders and sip cocktails. But apparently that’s what happened??
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrated the Kansas City Chiefs’ big win over the Buffalo Bills with a private afterparty alongside the tight end’s teammates. The couple was spotted at Prime Social in Kansas City, Mo., after the Chiefs secured their spot in Super Bowl LIX Sunday night.
“Guests sipped on various types of cocktails including the Pineapple Express, Elderflower Paloma and one of their shareable drinks called the Ma’Homes,” a source exclusively tells Page Six. According to the insider, Kelce and Swift, both 35, partied with friends and family at the luxurious rooftop cocktail lounge.
“They had servers walk around with tray pass who offered a number of different small bites including sliders, wagyu skewers and fried oysters.”
“Guests were invited to dine on different types of sushi such as their king crab dynamite roll, triple threat sushi roll, assorted types of nigiri, braised and blue pizza and more,” the source reveals.
“Taylor and Travis were dancing together and clearly very much in love,” the insider says. “They were kissing and looked so happy together. Everybody seemed like they had a great time.”
The couple — who began dating in summer 2023 — had a lot to celebrate after the Chiefs became the AFC Champions for the third year in a row, beating the Bills 32-29. During the game, the “Alchemy” singer was seen celebrating with her and Kelce’s moms, Andrea and Donna, and breathing a sigh of relief after the Chiefs won the nail-biter to clinch a Super Bowl berth for the third straight year.
Swift — who was decked out in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton — made her way down to the field and showered the tight end with kisses following the victory.
“I love you so much,” she told her beau as they embraced post-game. “I’m so proud of you.”
I love it, it sounds shockingly classy! An elegant rooftop party with specialty cocktails, sushi, sliders, pizza? Nice. I would also assume that this is a more subdued celebration because they all know that they have to prepare for the Super Bowl. They can’t let it all hang out… yet.
Sources close to Taylor also told People Magazine that “It was an anxious game and the most incredible feeling that they won. They had friends and family at the game last night. It all felt very special. If there is anyone that knows that incredible feeling after you’ve been intensely focused on a goal, it’s Taylor. They love their football family.” Yeah, I like that Taylor is always bringing her parents and that Taylor seems tight with Travis’s mom. This is very serious, all of it. I bet Taylor is happy that the tour is finally over too – she can really enjoy her downtime and really soak up the Super Bowl experience, after flying in at the “last minute” last year in between tour stops.

Somehow I just can’t get too impressed at Taylor’s classy hang sipping champers and hugging her bestie Trump Barbie the night before Mahomes’ homie froze all federal food aid for the poor. Taylor can miss me forever with the “Let them starve” company she keeps.
I, too, am over it. She looks more and more like Melania each day. To call them “cat faces” would be an insult to cats. More like bloated botoxed barbies.
I feel like that’s a little unfair. Taylor supported Harris in the race. She released a thoughtful and mature statement about why she did so, weeks before the election. She also donates a ton of money to food banks around the country and pays her workers very well. I don’t care for Mahomes’ wife either, but she’s married to Travis’ friend and teammate. What the Mahomes choose to do shouldn’t be pinned on Taylor. And how do we know she’s never had a conversation with them about it, trying to sway them her way? Travis too (I am pretty sure he’s a Democrat). It probably fell on deaf ears, but again, that’s not their fault. A lot of us have felt like we’ve been screaming at a brick wall for years now.
I voted for Harris, donated to her campaign, made calls. I intend to keep voting and speaking against the Republicans and to help people in need. If I have something to celebrate and I can afford it, I am going to go out and have some nice food and cocktails. She’s not hurting anyone by doing that and neither am I. Restaurant owners and employees need them to keep going if they are going to make a living, don’t they?
Agree with you MaisiesMom. If Taylor shunned or snubbed Brittany, the story would be about Taylor and not Travis. If she shunned or snubbed Brittany, the heat on that would come into Travis’s work–and work is sacred to Taylor. People spend time with the people they work with and the families.
I agree, Taylor is quite philanthropic, treats her entire team really well and speaks out and supports causes when she wants to. And Travis did a vaccine commercial. With his mom. Dem all the way.
In the interest of the rules around here, I will refrain from addressing how you personalize this to yourself. You are not Taylor Swift. I will merely bring this back to my original point. Which is that no, I do not find anything aspirational or classy about Taylor’s consumption of sliders and champagne with her bestie MAGA Barbie and her hubbie while the Mahomes’ chosen candidate moves to starve children nationwide. You are, of course, entitled to continue to idolize her and think you have lots in common. Because god forbid things get a little less soigne in the locker room.
it was only a matter of time, Swift got a brief reprieve from the vitriol with her support of Harris, but she isn’t liked around these parts and it will always come back around. Same with her BFF.
JW, save your vitriol for someone who does bad things. Taylor is vocal about her political leanings, encourages people to vote and supported MVP Harris. She is a well known philanthropist and quietly donates to many charities. Her employees love her and frequently speak on how well she treats them and how supportive she is. She impress everyone who meets her with her friendliness. That you find such qualities to be negative says a lot about you.
Yes I’m done with all the in your face excess with this group. I find it truly ironic that maga Barbie was truly outraged about Bills fans hanging of a Kermit frog puppet but is okay with supporting the Nazi in charge now.
Yeah the reverse cap is the total picture of elegance.
Pretty sure that photo is from last year.
This time last year swifties were researching air speed and time zones to see if she could make it to the game- and then back to the other side of the world.
I’m glad she just has to fly into New Orleans.
(we are so not ready for this in the city- every street project is half done)
Also road closures around the superdome have already started.
And i’m pretty sure there will be (minor) parades happening- i think Chewbacchus is that weekend? It is going to be a hell of a time.
Dancing while the world burns.
I like that Taylor seems to have found someone to suit her.
Her music moves me- i am 52 and i cry talking about her sometimes.
I do not know what she tapped into – in the veins of so many of us.
But it is nice – in the age of the toxic bro and the last gasp of patriarchy to see- to see a man on HIS big night, wrap his arms around her, knowing people are looking more at her than him, and being fine with it.
I just love the way Donna and Ed Kelse raised their boys to be fantastic men.
I think it is worth celebrating.
I work on Poydras, and trying to get to work yesterday was a chaotic disaster. And yes, Chewbacchus is this weekend, and it’s the calm before the storm!
I love your post! I’m 55. I’m not a Swiftie. I can celebrate her success. I can be happy for her as she seems to have found her stride professionally and in her personal life. And I love that some father’s are bonding with their kids while watching a NFL football game. I agree, cheers to the Kelce parents for raising 2 men who can share the spotlight.
They are pretty cute together — sliders and cocktails at a rooftop bar seems exactly like how I would imagine them celebrating.
Is that a current photo? I feel like we’ve seen it before.
I don’t think that photo is from this event. I could be wrong!
I am imagining 25 years from now, the two of them in a BIG house w GIANT ish tall kids who are into various sports…..im happy they are in love, love is great…
I like her dress. His outfit is bad.
Go Birds.
They’ve got two weeks until the Super Bowl, so they’ve got time for cocktails and sliders.
Must admit I don’t care for the head to toe designer outfits, but Tay ain’t dressing to impress me. Glad to see her happy.
Wow, you can really see her eye surgery scars with her current makeup and look. With her money those eyes are not done really well though the fat and heavy lids are gone from her eyes.
I don’t know what scars are showing in any of those pictures but I can’t imagine focusing on that rather than how Taylor treats people.
when do we think she got her eyes done? It would have had to be mid-tour if she has scars….which seems unlikely.
I don’t see scars, unless you just want to point out she’s had surgery? She got her eyes done years ago and I don’t blame her as she was VERY squinty. My partner should get his eyes done for medical reasons but he’s too stubborn! Lol
That picture is from a party last year, I think. I remember seeing it and thinking Travis was wearing sunglasses because he was really high, lol.
Elderflower Paloma sounds like my kind of drink. They usually have elderflower tonic water at one of the stores near me, and I can get my hands on the other ingredients too. Maybe I’ll try that at home.
Apparently I’m a super swiftie, but my favorite drink from last year is called a French Blonde–I made it the signature cocktail at my 40th birthday. It was touted to be Taylor’s cocktail of choice and that’s how I heard about it.
The French Blonde has: gin, St. Germaine (ELDERFLOWER LIQUEUR), Lillet Blanc, grapefruit juice and lemon bitters. It’s very good. So I wonder if the Elderflower Paloma is her choice! 🙂 It’s fun to think about.
I’ll share in this. I read she celebrated with Tay tinis. Vodka cranberry peach snaps and fresh lemon. So good!
I doubt if Travis was high. He wears sunglasses a lot and I think he has some kind of a vision thing. Travis has a history with drugs and drug testing in college and lost his scholarship and sat out a season. He knows he can be drug tested at any time and I seriously doubt he would take the risk.
Never liked swift, just a feeling i get. But now it’s worse that she’s bestie with Maga rat mahomes. I feel disgusted.
Actually what benefit would come from Taylor taking a huge stance right now.
The reality is that Trump is doing terrible things as is his wont. Other than donating to food banks, disaster relief, hospitals and such – what would you have her do ?
She gets along with everyone.
And it’s a big game ahead. Is this really beneficial to think that avoiding some of the team and their spouses will help
Anyone at this time? Do you want her put into more danger because she would be. Choose your way of protest – don’t expect her to live within your guidelines ~ that’s behaving like Trump and his cronies.
What I want to know is, did the team tip well? I’m recalling a reddit thread where multiple servers talked about pro sports teams that were atrocious about tipping. If I recall correctly, one specifically named the Golden State Warriors for asking the restaurant not to apply the auto-gratuity percentage as is typical for large parties and saying, “we’ll take care of you,” and then being awful guests who tipped next to nothing.
