KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen together for the first time following the Kansas City Chiefs game, Swifties and sports fans speculated about the nature of their connection after the surprise encounter.
The singer, 33, and the Kansas City Chiefs star, 34, created a buzz during an "affectionate" evening on Sunday, September 25 at Kansas City's Prime Social Rooftop after footing the bill for the whole restaurant so they could celebrate in privacy.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's late-night dinner
The superstars are rumored to have been dating since July. Taylor attended Kelce's team's game against the Chicago Bears before going on a dinner date and spending the night out until 2 am.
An eyewitness told ET, "Travis bought out the restaurant for his family and team. Taylor arrived, wearing a denim dress, and was seen snacking, having some cocktails and dancing alongside Travis."
They added, "The two were very affectionate with one another but kept things fun and lighthearted. Travis' teammates also showed up to the after-party, as well as his mom and dad, Donna and Ed. The party lasted until 2 am."
The two are "not rushing into anything serious" but are "enjoying life" together, a source said. "Both are very career-focused, so the focus is on that for now, but that's not going to stop them from enjoying life when it's the right moment."
Someone else claimed to have received notice that the restaurant would have a "hard close" at 8 o'clock, with employees providing to-go boxes and advising customers that they had to vacate the area.
They said they were compensated by being given free drinks at the venue's sister restaurant.
Customers reportedly asked employees whether Taylor and Travis were to blame for the closure, but staff allegedly kept quiet.
