Travis Kelce recently opened up about his holiday getaway to New York City with girlfriend Taylor Swift during a conversation on the “New Heights” podcast, which aired on December 30th.

The Chiefs’ tight end, along with his brother Jason, shared their reflections on their memorable Christmas game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where Mahomes stole the show with an impressive performance. However, Kelce also took a moment to reminisce about the romantic moments he spent with Taylor during their trip to New York.

“New York gave me some great trips,” Kelce said, recalling one particular highlight—attending Ashley Aon’s birthday party, a close friend of Taylor’s. He described the party as “my first time entering a private party,” a special event that he had been looking forward to for months.

“Taylor had booked me in almost six months ago,” Travis continued. He was in awe of the exclusivity and luxury of the venue, noting, “everything was overwhelming, and it was a party for very special people.”

Jason Kelsey, who seemed intrigued by his brother’s experiences, laughed and jokingly asked, “What about you and Taylor? You two must have been very happy?” Travis responded, sharing a cute story about a romantic outing that involved a rainstorm. Despite the weather, he said, “Taylor was having fun walking in the rain. I tried to cover her from the rain, but that made her even more excited when we both got wet.” The couple laughed off the rain, enjoying their time together despite the chillier New York weather, which caused them to return to Kansas City a bit earlier than planned.

As the podcast continued, Travis hinted that New Year’s Eve would be a special occasion, suggesting that it might be the first time they ring in the new year together. “That really makes me nervous,” he admitted, but joked that if Jason came over to celebrate, bringing gifts would be appreciated.

While Kelce and Swift have been open about their relationship, the pair continues to delight fans with their down-to-earth moments, whether it’s a rain-soaked stroll in New York or sharing intimate moments off the field. The couple, who have been dating for over 16 months, continue to receive attention from fans and the media, with speculations about their future growing. However, despite the buzz around their relationship, they seem to focus on enjoying their time together rather than being caught up in the constant scrutiny.

Taylor Swift, known for her subtle political and personal messages, also sparked attention with her fashion choices on the evening out. She wore a stylish Stella McCartney wool dinner jacket adorned with crystals and paired it with a sleek black mini dress and diamond-pattern tights. The standout accessory was a Versace Medusa mini bag, featuring the head of the Greek mythological figure Medusa, symbolizing strength, power, and resistance. Fans quickly noted that the Medusa imagery could be a nod to feminist themes and Swift’s support for women’s rights.

While Taylor has yet to confirm any political or personal meaning behind her accessory choice, fans were quick to connect the dots. The couple’s night in New York included a cozy dinner at a Japanese restaurant with close friends Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qu, marking another sweet chapter in their love story.
