Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoyed a romantic double-date in New York with Jack Antonoff and his wife Margaret Qualley on Friday night.
The singer and her three-time Super Bowl-winning boyfriend were seen leaving Manhattan’s BondST restaurant together, with Swift’s long-time producer, 40, and his wife, 30, following them out of the exit.
As they made their way into the back of a black SUV, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end guided Swift right into the car after walking down a small staircase with their fingers interlaced.
The couple, who have been spending more time together since she wrapped her record-breaking, 21-month Eras Tour earlier this month, coordinated in similar shades for their night on the town.
They weren’t seen together on Christmas Day, however. Kelce was playing in the NFL for the Chiefs but his team’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers means he might now have a break from football until Jan. 18.
And the loved-up couple’s latest appearance in the Big Apple comes amid more engagement rumors from the Eras Tour birthday party Kelce threw in December for Swift turning 35.

One picture that emerged from the party earlier in December sent the Swifties into meltdown with the singer appearing to hide her ring finger as she posed alongside Brittany Mahomes.
Fans questioned if Swift may have purposely ‘edited out’ an engagement ring as not to reveal news that Kelce had finally popped the question.
Swift’s birthday was Friday, December 13 but pictures did not come out from the bash until the following Wednesday, with Mahomes first to share some pictures.
Stunning details emerged about the party from there. Kelce was pictured giving a speech while Swift, her friend Ashley Avignone revealed, thought she was going to a small dinner.
‘When she thought she was going to a small, quiet dinner but it was actually a giant surprise party with her friends and family, props included,’ Avignone captioned her own pictures of the party.
Swift and Kelce’s return to New York coincides with Kelce being widely expected to miss the final game of the Chiefs’ regular season on January 5 against Denver Broncos.
After the Christmas Day win, the Chiefs have locked up the No. 1 seed going into the NFL playoffs, meaning star players such as Kelce and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes are unlikely to be risked before the playoffs.
Kelce will still be expected to report back to camp in Kansas City, however.

And the No. 1 seed means the Chiefs will skip the first round of the postseason, meaning Kelce will probably not play until the weekend of Jan. 18-19 back at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
That weekend will mark the beginning of the Chiefs push to win an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl and Swift is unlikely to be anywhere else than back in the stands cheering Kelce on.
For now, a weekend with Swift gives Kelce a chance to rest and recharge after playing three NFL games in 11 days for the Chiefs.
In Pittsburgh, his touchdown in the fourth quarter also saw him enter the record books for the Chiefs with the most touchdowns in franchise history.
His 12-yard grab saw him eclipse the tally of 76 set by Tony Gonzalez and he finished the game with eight catches for 84 yards.
And while Kelce was away from his girlfriend for Christmas, his Chiefs teammates made sure that he still felt the love.
They treated him to a lavish range of Christmas gifts worth a staggering $120,000 in a bid to replace some items stolen from his home.

Kelce’s $6million mansion was raided by thieves back in October, with the Super Bowl winner reportedly losing a number of cherished items.
That included $100,000 in jewelry, $20,000 in cash, his first Super Bowl jersey and a watch that has since been found in Rhode Island.
The FBI continues to investigate the case and Kelce, who was said to be ‘upset and angry’ at being robbed, responded by bolstering his home security amid an NFL warning that a South American crime gang could be behind multiple players being targeted.
