Pop star fans are responding to what her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, wore on a holiday weekend night out in New York City.
On a gloomy night in the Big Apple, Kelce, 35, wore a red and white ensemble that made many think of Father Christmas.
Swift and the tight end chose to attend dinner at the exclusive supper restaurant Chez Margaux in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District despite the rain.Swift put on a lanky show despite the cold weather by donning a black minidress with a hem that ended only inches above her knees.
Taylor added layers to the look by donning a long, black coat with silver-shining embroidery all over it.
However, Kelce’s ensemble attracted a lot more attention because the Chiefs player wore a red, denim jacket with the front unbuttoned and a pair of loose-fitting, matching pants.
Travis chose to wear a pair of sunglasses and a cap to finish off the chic look for the evening.
Swifties gave the ensemble a lot of attention, likening his appearance to Santa Claus in the days following Christmas.
‘Just thought Travis was in a Santa suit and I’m like if we find out these mfers were able to blend in santa undercover at Santa Con this is like the perfect scene for the next hallmark movie,’ wrote one Swiftie on X, formerly Twitter.
Another user wondered, ‘why is travis kelce santa claus’.
‘why is travis kelce dressed like a hip santa clause,’ wrote one user – while another remarked, ‘Travis even wore his Santa costume.’
One Swiftie pointed out the discrepancy in the two outfits, saying, ‘taylor looks ethereal then you have travis in this santa claus a** outfit.’
Another said, ‘Convince me Travis and Taylor aren’t really Santa and Mrs. Claus.’
When they arrived at the restaurant, the couple, who had initially been romantically involved a year before, were spotted crossing a busy street holding hands.
Taylor and Travis were spotted enjoying a date night in Manhattan one day earlier on Friday. Close friends Jack Antonoff and his wife, Margaret Qualley, were also present.
The 12-year NFL veteran Kelce is now having one of his less successful seasons as a player.
Although he is producing less this season, Kelce is still leading the Chiefs in receiving yards from the previous campaign.
He has only hauled in three touchdowns and caught for 823 yards, averaging 8.5 yards per catch. All three stats are much lower than they were the previous season. The disclaimer for all of that is that he has already caught more passes than he did the previous season.
Thanks to their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, Kelce and the Chiefs have already secured the No. 1 seed for the AFC in the forthcoming NFL playoffs.
Next week, the Chiefs travel to play the division rival Denver Broncos to wrap out their season.
