Taylor Swift’s Pre-Super Bowl Date Night Look May Send a Message About Those Halftime Theories

Taylor Swift has already touched down in New Orleans ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl.

On February 7, the 35-year-old singer was spotted enjoying a pre-game date night with boyfriend Travis Kelce, who is hoping to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to victory against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday. In one clip going viral on TikTok, Swift shared a sweet exchange with fans while heading into the French restaurant Lilette through what appears to be a back entrance. When told the fans went to one of her Eras Tour concerts, the pop star replied, “Thank you so much.”

Swift and Kelce were later spotted leaving the establishment hand-in-hand, with People confirming the pair met up with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes.

For the Friday night double-date, Swift opted for a semi-sheer black minidress with long sleeves and a flouncy skirt, which she paired with a very chunky platform mule for a bit of contrast, topping everything off with her classic red lip. This look was much more toned-down than her recent bout of designer game-day looks, which have divided fans who are used to seeing the “Anti-Hero” singer favor accessibility over luxury logos.

But while Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attempted to keep things low-key in an LBD and gray track suit, Brittany Mahomes made her presence known in head-to-toe Chiefs red, pairing a vibrant trench coat with matching red boots and statement purse. Of course, Swift’s look also included a bit of a nod to her boyfriend’s team with a chrome red manicure. You can see the photos here.

Taylor Swift’s looks tend to spark theories over future projects and performances but not much can be deduced from this date night ensemble, which may be exactly the point. With so many fans wondering if she’ll perform “Bad Blood” with Kendrick Lamar during the Halftime Show or finally announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) through a Super Bowl ad, her date night look might be sending a subtle message that this weekend isn’t about her.

Of course, we should all expect a memorable ‘fit from Taylor Swift at the 2025 Super Bowl no matter what happens at half time. As Travis Kelce recently said during a pre-game press conference, “Tay is always gonna be dressed head-to-toe. Looking the flyest.”
