In the bustling heart of New York City, under a blanket of fresh snow and the ever-watchful gaze of fans and paparazzi, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are finding moments of ordinary joy in their extraordinary lives. The superstar singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who announced their engagement in August 2025, have been carving out a quieter, more intimate chapter together as they prepare for their much-anticipated wedding this summer in Rhode Island.
On February 24, 2026, the couple was spotted enjoying a cozy date night at Chez Margaux, a celebrated Manhattan hotspot. According to InStyle, Swift opted for her signature blend of classic and contemporary style, donning a black wrap wool coat, a sleek black top, and black leather knee-high boots. She accessorized with subtle gold jewelry and a Louis Vuitton handbag, its iconic logo peeking from her rolled-up sleeves. As always, her look was finished with a bold red lip and her dazzling diamond engagement ring—a nod to both her fashion sense and her new status as Kelce’s fiancée.
Kelce, meanwhile, kept things casual yet refined in a gray wool jacket, blue-and-gray striped pants, and a light gray beanie. The pair, seen holding hands as they left the restaurant, looked every bit the power couple, but their demeanor suggested a desire for normalcy amid the relentless public attention. The outing was a rare public appearance, as both Swift and Kelce have been keeping a lower profile since their engagement, focusing on their relationship and the simple pleasures of being together.
Their evening out in Manhattan came just as New York was being transformed by a heavy snowstorm. Speaking on his popular podcast, “New Heights,” Kelce gave fans a candid glimpse into their recent routines. “They weren’t lying [about this blizzard],” he remarked. “I’m on the East Coast right now, and it is coming down and I f–king love it, man. When you haven’t seen snowfall in awhile and it turns the entire place white and bright, it is just so magical.”
Kelce’s appreciation for the snowfall was tempered by the realities of city life. “It’s hard to get around if the city isn’t taking care of it,” he admitted, acknowledging the challenges that come with a winter wonderland in Manhattan. His brother and podcast co-host, Jason Kelce, chimed in from Pennsylvania, calling his own snow experience a “pain in the ass,” offering a playful contrast to Travis’s enthusiasm.
But the real highlight of the couple’s weekend wasn’t just the snow or the city lights—it was a shared moment of sports fandom. On Sunday morning, February 23, Kelce and Swift woke up early to catch the USA men’s hockey team compete for gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. “Me and Tay watched the entire game,” Kelce recounted on “New Heights.” “It was so f–king epic. From the first drop of the puck, that game was nonstop action and had me at the edge of my seat at 8:05 in the morning. Man, I loved every minute of it.”
The excitement of the game was punctuated by a personal family moment. During the match, Kelce and Swift called Travis’s father, Ed Kelce, to wish him a happy birthday. “We gave him a shout and talked to him a little,” Travis shared, underscoring the couple’s commitment to maintaining close family ties even as their public profiles soar.
Swift, who wrapped her record-shattering Eras Tour not long ago, has been embracing a slower, more grounded lifestyle. “I was on tour for so long and now I finally am not on tour,” she said during an August appearance on “New Heights.” “And it’s kind of great because I’m getting my hobbies back.” Kelce echoed this sentiment, noting, “It’s been so fun to see what Taylor actually gets into around the house.”
Indeed, sources close to the couple told Us Weekly that Swift has been “intentionally slowing down. She’s been nesting, cooking, spending time with family, and carving out space to enjoy being engaged.” For a pair whose every move is scrutinized, these moments of domestic tranquility are both precious and hard-won.
The couple’s engagement last August sent fans and the media into a frenzy, and speculation about their wedding plans has only intensified since. While details remain closely guarded, reports suggest a summer ceremony in Rhode Island is in the works. Friends and insiders hint that Swift and Kelce are relishing the planning process, though they’re determined to keep the celebration as private as possible.
Fashion, of course, remains a focal point for Swift. Her recent date-night ensemble at Chez Margaux was not only a nod to her personal style but also to her ongoing love affair with Louis Vuitton. As Harper’s Bazaar and InStyle have noted, Swift regularly turns to the Parisian fashion house for everything from high-profile events to casual outings, and even game days cheering on Kelce. Her $4,500 Express MM bag and luxurious coat are just the latest in a series of head-to-toe LV looks that have become her signature.
Kelce, for his part, has opened up occasionally about their life together, offering glimpses of their routines and quirks. In a January episode of “New Heights,” he discussed their sleep habits, revealing, “I’m a full [sleeper]. I like the full mattress because I like to roll into it and out of it. And if I’m sitting up, we’re both sitting up.” Swift, too, has shared anecdotes about hearing Kelce recording his podcast from elsewhere in the house, laughing about his enthusiastic “New News!” segment echoing through their home.
Despite their celebrity, Swift and Kelce are navigating the transition from whirlwind romance to domestic partnership with a blend of humor, humility, and genuine affection. Their willingness to share snippets of their life—whether it’s a snow day in Manhattan, a gold-medal hockey game in Milan, or a quiet dinner out—has endeared them even further to fans around the world.
As the wedding date draws nearer, the couple’s focus appears to be on cherishing these quieter moments, away from the glare of stadium lights and concert stages. For Swift and Kelce, it seems, happiness is found not just in grand gestures or public triumphs, but in the everyday rituals of life together—watching sports, calling family, braving a blizzard, or simply holding hands on a winter night in New York.
In a world that often demands spectacle, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reminding everyone that sometimes, the most magical moments are also the most ordinary.
