For Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift is the pulsating heart of New York City, and its allure remains undiminished. During the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's idyllic sojourn in the concrete jungle amid the NFL team's bye week, he detailed the city boy's delight in experiencing the big city's electricity and buzz. "I simply lounged, put my feet up, explored some cool spots, and indulged in some exceptional cuisine," Travis shared during the November 12 episode of New Heights. "It's my favorite time right now, as the seasons change from the Midwest to the Northeast. It was a blast."
Indeed, at 36, Travis not only strolled through The Polo Bar and Zero Bond with his fiancée but also made a pit stop at Puffy’s Tavern, located in Taylor's longtime neighborhood of Tribeca. "I met some friends," Travis added of his time at the celeb-loved dive bar. "I made some new acquaintances in New York's vibrant tapestry."
Like Taylor, Travis could dance to the beat that New York provides forevermore. "It's cool to simply vibe around the city like that," he told his brother Jason Kelce. "I think that's one of my favorite things to do in New York—to be one with the city. Walking the streets, feeling the electricity, sensing everyone doing their own thing, and meeting a few new people along the way." He added, "That's another reason I love New York—I love people-watching."
Of course, New York has become a pivotal part of Taylor and Travis' romance. The couple made their first joint appearance in the city back in 2023, when they spent the weekend dining and even making a pit stop to support Taylor's friend Ice Spice during her appearance on Saturday Night Live. And even before her romance with Travis, New York was a precious place for Taylor—both in her songwriting and in her personal life.
"It's amazing," Taylor gushed during a 2014 appearance on Late Night with David Letterman, shortly after she purchased her New York apartment. "Anytime I talk to anyone, or anytime I do an interview, I'm like, 'You don't understand, you have to go there now! You have to go to New York! Just drop what you're doing—you have to go there—it's the most amazing place ever.'" As Taylor noted, she loves the city with a passion that is "underlined with 18 exclamation points."
