Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce managed to squeeze in a cozy date night ahead of the Super Bowl while visiting New Orleans.
The singer and football star, both 35, were spotted at Lilette, a French venue that is self-described as the “sexiest restaurant in town” on its website.
Fox 8 Nola and fan accounts shared footage of the couple’s arrival at the restaurant via X on Friday, February 7.
According to nola.com, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes joined the couple at Lilette. Actress Jennifer Coolidge and former football star Joe Montana were also spotted at the restaurant the same night, though they weren’t part of Swift and Kelce’s outing, reported the website.
The Tortured Poets Department artist wore a black mini dress, accessorized with a black clutch and teamed with her signature red lip for the intimate night out. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end wore a dark grey ensemble for the occasion.
The pair reportedly spent several hours at the venue, dining in a private room before they were snapped leaving the restaurant hand in hand.
Swift and Kelce are in New Orleans as the sports star gears up to play in the Super Bowl at the New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on Sunday. His team will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in the much anticipated football game.

While Kendrick Lamar is slated to headline the Super Bowl’s halftime show, rumors are rife that Swift could make a surprise cameo.
Kelce’s dad Ed Kelce was even grilled about the ongoing speculation that Swift may perform, during an appearance on Australia’s Today on Thursday, February 6.
However, Ed dodged the question without confirming whether the rumors were true or simply wishful thinking from fans.
“I have no idea,” Ed replied when asked if he knew whether Swift will perform on Sunday. “I haven’t talked to Taylor this week. I have no idea what her plans are. I would let her publicist talk to you about that.”
Ed did share his thoughts on how his son’s relationship with Swift will progress once the Super Bowl is finished and now that the singer is no longer on tour.
“I think, you know, once we get past the Super Bowl, I think it’s going to be a very good period of time for the two of them,” he told Today cohosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo. “Without the NFL season, without the Eras tour. Just them alone really connecting more. I think that can only be a good thing.”
