Just days after their engagement announcement, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted enjoying their first public date night at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri, the very same spot where their love story began.
Taylor and Travis’ first public date as engaged couple
Taylor and Travis made their first appearance as an engaged couple at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday.
The newly engaged couple marked their first post-engagement outing to watch Travis’ alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, take on the University of Nebraska. It also marked the first time the pop star wore her engagement ring out in public since announcing that she and Travis are getting married.
For the outing, Taylor opted for a sweater vest and mini denim skirt paired with knee-high white boots. As per the visuals captured from the stadium, Taylor looked ecstatic as she arrived alongside fellow Kansas City Chiefs WAG Brittany Mahomes.
Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, also joined in on date night and watched the first half of the game between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Arrowhead Stadium.
When it comes to the stadium, it has a special place in the love story of the couple as it’s where Travis first saw Taylor’s Eras Tour on July 8, 2023. In the now-famous story, he attempted to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, but wasn’t allowed to meet her.
Their romance began to make headlines when Taylor made a surprise appearance at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24, 2023, cheering on Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs as they took on the Chicago Bears.
