Taylor Swift holds hands with Travis Kelce in NYC while her ex escalates drama with shady public comments

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are keeping the summer romance alive in the most New York way possible — with quiet, fashionable, and very exclusive dinner dates. The high-profile couple was recently spotted enjoying a private evening out at San Vicente in West Village, joined by none other than Swift’s brother, Austin.

Tucked away in the club’s ultra-discreet, no-photo interior, the trio “sat alone quietly,” a source told Page Six, adding that “no one bothered them.”

For Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, both 35, privacy seems to be the new luxury. San Vicente, a members-only spot that recently opened its New York location, is already known for hosting Hollywood elite like Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Prince Harry. It’s also famed for enforcing a strict no-photos policy, making it a go-to for celebrities seeking refuge from the relentless gaze of paparazzi.The couple didn’t just enjoy a dinner — they made a fashion statement. Swift arrived in a $3,490 pink-and-white Balmain houndstooth dress with gold chain straps and matching buttons, accessorized with a beige purse and Christian Louboutin heels. Kelce complemented her look in a crisp white short-sleeve dress shirt, black pants, and black loafers. Earlier in the week, they were seen stepping out hand-in-hand in matching white outfits, capturing attention yet again.

Their recent city rendezvous follows a week spent in Nashville, where Swift not only showed up to support her NFL beau at his Tight Ends University event but also surprised everyone with an impromptu performance of “Shake It Off” at the “Tight Ends and Friends” benefit concert — her first public performance since the end of the blockbuster Eras Tour. That concert alone helped raise over $900K for charity, including Kelce’s own foundation, 87 & Running.While their public appearances reflect joy and stability, a familiar ghost from the past seems determined to hover. Matty Healy, Swift’s ex and frontman of The 1975, stirred headlines after throwing shade at her latest album The Tortured Poets Department during his Glastonbury set. “I’m probably the best songwriter of my generation. The best, what do we say, A POET...ladies and gentlemen, is what I am,” Healy declared sarcastically, before launching into “Chocolate.

” Though he later claimed he was joking, the timing didn’t go unnoticed by Swifties.Despite the lack of a ring, speculation around a possible engagement continues to mount. Nilesh Rakholia, founder of Abelini jewelry, told Daily Mail, “Knowing Taylor, the ring itself, or the way it’s revealed, might contain subtle nods or 'Easter eggs' for her fans.”As they inch closer to their rumored two-year anniversary, Swift and Kelce seem unfazed by external noise — choosing instead to indulge in intimate dinners, public hand-holding, and quiet gestures of support that say more than any headline could. Whether wedding bells are on the horizon or not, the couple continues to write their love story one glamorous NYC outing at a time.Also Read: “I did marry a farmer”: Hailee Steinfeld wants to trade glam for a garden in dream farm life with Josh Allen
