Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce looked every inch the cute couple as they coordinated looks on a romantic date night at BondST Restaurant in New York City.

As the pair continue to soak up time together following the recent end of her record-breaking, 21-month Eras Tour earlier this month, it appears their individual styles have rubbed off on one another.

For the occasion, the pop star wore a $5,500 wool-blend blazer with chainlink-inspired crystal embellishments at the hem, by Stella McCartney, over a plain black minidress, Sheertex tights with a diamond pattern and a pair of Versace booties.

She wore her golden locks in loose waves and rocked a bright red nail polish, which matched her signature scarlet pout. 

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, known for his quirky matching sets and streetwear-inspired looks, opted for a tan knit, black striped shirt, shiny gold pants and loafers.

His accessories included a pair of glasses, silver chain necklace and black ‘TriBeca’ baseball cap.

The lovebirds were joined by Jack Antonoff, 40, and Margaret Qualley, 30. 

Previously, Swift hit BondST Restaurant for a girls’ night with Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, and Brittany Mahomes in November 2023. 

After photos emerged from their evening out with her longtime collaborator and his wife, fans couldn’t help but fawn over their similar outfits and matching aesthetic. 

‘THE MATCHING COLOURS AHHHHHHH TAYLOR AND TRAVIS YOU GUYS LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!’ one Swiftie tweeted. 

A second wrote: ‘Taylor & Travis’ matching outfits are so cute [sobbing emoji].’ 

‘Both outfits really are incredible! Taylor and Travis look amazing together,’ a third gushed. 

A fourth X user raved: ‘1. I love that they coordinate outfits before leaving the house 2. I love her darker hair 3. Are Travis’s glasses just there for the style? 4. Siri, play Cardigan (Happy Version).’ 

Others marveled at how they ‘look at each other and the matching outfits.’ 

‘Their natural chemistry and comfort with each other really shines through,’ another pointed out. 

Their latest outing comes after a source told DailyMail.com last week that Swift and Kelce are continuing to laugh off constant engagement rumors. 

Rumors that the football player got down on one knee hit an all-time high after never-before-seen snaps from Swift’s Eras Tour-themed party were shared online.

In pictures from the party, which took place on December 13, eagled-eyed fans claimed that the hitmaker’s left ring finger looked ‘blurred,’ while others suggested she was purposely hiding her finger from view. 

This immediately sparked a wild theory that Swift may have purposely ‘edited out’ an engagement ring, with sleuths coming to the conclusion that Swift was not ready to reveal news that her NFL star boyfriend, 35, had finally popped the question.

A source gave insight into how the rumors inevitably fall across Kelce’s lap, despite his best efforts to stay away from the gossip – and how they contribute to pressure he’s facing from his family.

‘He does read some of these stories because it cannot be avoided,’ the source exclusively explained to DailyMail.com. ‘And he finds some of it hilarious because he knows how much the world wants this to happen. At times it can be overwhelming for him.’

The Kansas City Chiefs star’s family have been teasing the star about the constant rumors, helping to make light of the outside pressure, while also adding some of their own.

The source added: ‘His family jokes with him about a wedding and pits him up against his brother whose wife is already popping out more babies.

It appears the couple is getting through it together, by finding the humor in the situation.

‘Taylor and Travis find it extremely humorous that they have been engaged every day since they got together,’ a friend of the singer exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com.

The source continued: ‘These engagement rumors started from day one and they do not know how they can even have a public engagement at this point.’ 

The well-placed source noted that constant public attention that the couple’s relationship receives has all but ensured that their engagement will be a private one.

‘Travis is going to have to go above and beyond but it won’t be a public spectacle,’ the source added. ‘They are both aware of the fact that the whole world is so thirsty for them to be engaged and, while Taylor does want a white wedding one day, her friends just feel like people need to chill and let them be a couple.’

Making it clear that the couple are in no rush to take things to the next level, the source continued: ‘When the time comes, people will know about it. But they are going to keep some things private and will have elaborate plans in place to ensure secrecy.

‘They are not worried about those close to them leaking info because people who know them respect this.

‘When and if Travis does make this happen it will be for Taylor and for Taylor only.’

Elsewhere, a third insider confirmed that the couple are ‘well briefed’ on the level of speculation surrounding the hopes of their engagement, with Swift being far more experienced about this level of public scrutiny.

‘Travis and Taylor are well versed in pop culture and when things are about them, they are well briefed about it if they don’t find out about it themselves,’ the insider explained.

The insider continued: ‘And with the uncontrollable nature of engagement rumors, they both hear about it all the time.

‘It is just a part of their lives that they don’t dwell on because it takes away from how special it will be when it actually happens.’

The insider explained that the couple are certainly on track to take this next step, but noted it might come at a time that fans wouldn’t expect.

‘Travis has ideas, he would love to be engaged and married to Taylor, he is in love. She is in love with him,’ the insider dished. ‘They are very busy though with her tour just finishing and him still seeking another Super Bowl.’

The insider continued: ‘It is going to happen, but when people least expect it, on their own time and as much as it is a likelihood, Taylor still wants to be surprised.

‘Travis has ideas but he isn’t going to be rushed to do it, because when he does it, it will be on his own terms and it will be the most special moment of his life.’

Swift has been dating Kelce since summer 2023 and they’ve faced repeat engagement rumors since going public with their romance.

The couple were forced to shutdown speculation in October after Monday Night Football commentator Troy Aikman accidentally referred to Swift as Kelce’s ‘missus’ on the air.

‘It’s not true and the recent erratic and unfounded speculation on this couple is just proving that media and overzealous fans do not know what’s going on with them and shouldn’t make wild assumptions based on zero facts,’ a source close to the couple told TMZ.

Chatter about a potential proposal picked back up earlier this month after a source dished to Us Weekly that Swift would ‘love to be engaged’ but the couple ‘aren’t rushing it.’

Swift wrapped her record-breaking Eras Tour on December 8 after nearly two years on the road.

Swift rang in her 35th birthday on Friday, December 13 and Kelce threw a spectacular bash to celebrate her record-breaking concert – which grossed $2 billion.

Despite prior reports stating she was ‘exhausted’ after performing nearly 150 shows, Swift looked thrilled to be celebrating her special day with the likes of Brittany and Patrick Mahomes.
