In their tennis era, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce cheer at U.S. Open
Date weekend continues for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as the two are spotted at the U.S. Open men’s final match between American Taylor Fritz and Italian Jannik Sinner.
The couple arrived hand-in-hand at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. Swift wore a red and white gingham dress with caramel pumps while Kelce sported a red, light brown and green Gucci bucket hat and a stripe-trimmed white cardigan over a matching polo shirt and shorts. Joining the couple in the tennis suite was Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.
The Sunday match is the first time in 18 years that an American has made it to the finals since 2006, when Andy Roddick competed.
‘Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you’
Immediately following Thursday’s Kansas City Chiefs game against the Baltimore Ravens, the two flew to New York City. To start the weekend festivities on Friday, Kelce and Swift attended Lucali, a pizza spot in Brooklyn. Swift dressed in a black blazer and sheer top and clasped Kelce’s hand as they walked in. The restaurant crowd grew quiet as they watched the couple enter the pizzeria. Word traveled fast and a crowd formed outside while Swift and Kelce enjoyed dinner.

On Saturday night, Kelce and Swift attended model Karen Elson’s wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster. Paparazzi caught the two arriving outside of the Greenwich Village studios. Kelce, with a James Dean slicked-back hair and black tee, held Swift’s hand as she strutted in a cream Zimmerman dress with a floral design on the skirt.
Swift has recorded most of her recent work at the Electric Lady Studios, including ‘Lover,’ ‘Midnights,’ ‘Folklore,’ ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),’ ‘Red (Taylor’s Version),’ ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ and ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version).’
Swift is on a two-month break from her massive Eras tour. She will return to the stage on Oct. 18 in Miami. She is also up for 12 awards at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York on Wednesday night. Kelce is expected back in Kansas City this week for a Sunday afternoon game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
