Taylor Swift exuded fall vibes as she stepped out for dinner at Minetta Tavern in New York on Friday. The Bad Blood hitmaker, 33, looked effortlessly chic in a brown Gucci sweater, dark flared pants, and trendy penny loafers with a chunky block heel, as she headed in to the French eatery.
The 12-time Grammy winner accessorized her outfit with a matching brown purse. Slung across her arm was a brown blazer, in case the weather got chilly later on. The superstar wore her blonde tresses in a straight style for the occasion, and rocked her signature red lipstick. She was pictured arriving to the restaurant with singer pal Phoebe Bridgers, 29.

After dinner, Swift was gracious enough to pose for photos with the restaurant’s head chef, Chef Laurent. British restaurateur Keith McNally — who owns Minetta Tavern among other NYC hotspots — gave fans insight on Swift’s decadent dinner.
Swift and Bridgers were served baked oysters and foie Gras Amouse Bouche, which McNally says Swift ‘really liked.’ ‘I was near the table when Taylor Swift ate the oyster and she opened her eyes and said “my god!” … she really liked it!’ he wrote to Instagram, adding that the ladies also ‘had scallops to share.’
Next, Swift dined on Dover sole and the fried lobster vol en vent and she and Bridgers drank two Rhubarb Sophie cocktails. They skipped dessert. McNally claims that the duo were at the restaurant ‘until around 12:15.’ Not present for Taylor’s night out in NYC was her NFL beau, Travis Kelce, 34, who was asked earlier during a press conference whether he was ‘in love’ with Swift, and answered by saying he wanted to keep his ‘personal relationship personal.’
Kelce patiently deflected three questions about Swift at a conference in Frankfurt, ahead of Sunday’s powder keg match against the Miami Dolphins. While Kelce and team are almost 5,000 miles from Arrowhead, the interrogation about his relationship with the singer continued unabashed.
The first saw the tight end – who has recorded an NFL record seven straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons – asked if he felt like a better player when Swift was in the stands ‘I think it’s pretty much a coincidence. I’ve had some pretty big games in my career,’ Kelce said. The second was a two-parter: What is the latest status and are you in love? ‘The latest status is I got to see her last week. That’s the latest status right there,’ Kelce said. ‘I’m gonna keep my personal relationship personal.’
And finally: will Swift be at the game, given she will be performing in Buenos Aires on Thursday? ‘You know what… I think when I mention or everybody knows that she’s at the game the over/under on my catches kind of goes up and down,’ Kelce said.
‘The spread goes up and down. So you know I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff. So I’m just gonna keep it to myself.’ The Chiefs tight end was seen riding solo in his black Cadillac Escalade on Wednesday in Kansas City, hours after the singer flew out of Missouri to prepare for her Latin American tour next week.
The NFL star has been widely photographed stepping out with his new squeeze in recent weeks, but will now have to get used to being away from his girlfriend who is set to perform nine shows across Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil for the next four weeks. The brief outing came after the duo had spent two days holed up in his love nest, after Swift flew over 1,000 miles to be by her man’s side following his team’s loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
The pair, who celebrated Halloween together, appeared to be squeezing in some quality time as a couple before Kelce flew out to Frankfurt, Germany, where he and the Kansas City Chiefs are currently training for their game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Swift, meanwhile, is set to embark on the South American leg of her Eras tour which kicks off in Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 9.
On Wednesday DailyMail.com revealed the NFL star even cordoned off his property with police crime scene tape to keep trick-or-treaters away while his girlfriend was in town. A security guard outside the property was even heard telling children ‘nobody’s home today.’ But the families weren’t buying it, especially after lights turned on inside the $1million Kansas City home. ‘Liars,’ one mother told DailyMail.com as her pre-teen daughter in a pink Barbie jacket sniffed that she didn’t get to hit up the Chiefs star and his pop princess girlfriend for candy.
A security officer sat in his sedan parked in the driveway, as tape attached to his side view mirror stretched over the sidewalk and around trees lining the property. Taylor left Kansas City on Wednesday morning and was seen boarding her private jet, leaving behind her new beau. The pop star had jetted to Kansas City on her private jet on Monday to comfort the tight end after his team’s loss to the Broncos in Denver. Kelce’s whirlwind romance with the pop superstar has dominated headlines over the past month – but the pair will have to get used to the distance soon with Taylor set to kick off the international leg of her Eras tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
