After a video of the duo walking into the restaurant went viral on X (formerly Twitter), fans began praising Kelce for the way he was sweetly escorting her safely into the building.
Placing his hands on Swift’s waist, the NFL player guided her up the stairs then walked behind her as she made her way inside.
“HAND PLACEMENT! WE LOVE A GENTLEMAN” one fan gushed in response to the clip.
“His hand on her waist 😭” another Swiftie added.”The bodyguard stays calm because he knows she has Travis,” someone else wrote.
Even though Swift and Kelce were able to make it safely into the restaurant without too much attention from onlookers, the same couldn’t be said for their walk back to the car.
After the meal, the couple exited the restaurant only to be greeted by swarms of fans gathering outside the building, with tons of bystanders hooting and hollering while snapping photos of the two celebrities.
“How does she handle this. This is insane,” one X user wrote after seeing the overwhelming number of fans waiting outside the restaurant.
“What a shame she can’t just out to dinner without all that chaos,” someone else echoed, while another user said, “I so wish they could have come and gone from dinner without this happening!”
Kelce and Swift’s dinner date—which also included Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes—comes just days before the Super Bowl on Sunday, where the Kansas City-based team will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The game will kick off at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl match up between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made time for a private date night in New Orleans on February 7. Before all eyes are on the couple come February 9–as the football player brings his all on the Caesars Superdome field, Swift will be watching the game with her family and squad from a $3 million VIP suite–they made time for an under-the-radar dinner in New Orleans with Patrick and Brittany Homes. Per clips shared by news and fan accounts, Swift wore her signature red lip with a flirty LBD as the couple headed out for their Friday night dinner.
Dressed in a black long-sleeved mockneck black dress overlaid with sheer black lace, the “Blank Space” singer held hands with her athlete beau as she left French restaurant Lillette. The Grammy Award-winning musician paired the mini dress with black patent leather oxford-style booties and a black purse with a gold hardware strap. Wearing her go-to red lip in an orange-toned hue, Swift wore her blonde hair in a voluminous blowout as she enjoyed a pre-Super Bowl meal with her boyfriend and the Mahomeses. Meanwhile, Kelce coordinated with Swift in a surprisingly neutral look ahead of his big game. The Chiefs tight end opted for a dark gray track suit worn with a v-neck white t-shirt and a gold chain.
