On Friday night, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce turned heads in New Orleans when they dined at Lilette, a trendy French restaurant on Magazine Street.
With players typically staying in their hotels as the Super Bowl approaches, their outing—less than two days before the big game—was a surprising move.
However, Kelce chose to spend the evening with Swift, making time for his girlfriend before what he has described as the most important game of his career.

As the couple left the restaurant, excited fans gathered outside, eager to catch a glimpse of them. They were seen holding hands, and as news spread, a crowd quickly formed by the steps, with the moment being captured on camera.
Taylor Swift looked radiant in a black dress paired with Larroude Eleonor boots, while Travis Kelce kept it casual in a tracksuit during their night out in New Orleans.
Kelce, along with the Kansas City Chiefs, is preparing for a Super Bowl showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday as they aim for a historic three-peat.
Despite the surprise of Kelce’s appearance so close to the big game, there’s no indication that he violated any team rules by spending time with Swift. Initially, some social media users questioned the authenticity of the video showing their arrival at the restaurant, suspecting it might be a case of mistaken identity.
