Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are spending some much-deserved downtime together during the Kansas City Chiefs’ bye week, and this year, the couple has opted for a cozy, low-key stay in New York City. With no football game on the schedule until November 16, Kelce and Swift have been spotted enjoying quiet evenings together — marking a rare public outing amid what’s been a much more private chapter of their relationship.
Taylor and Travis Spotted at Polo Bar in NYC
On Wednesday night (November 5, 2025), Swift and Kelce were photographed arriving hand-in-hand at Polo Bar, one of Manhattan’s most exclusive dining spots. Both dressed in matching black outfits, the pair appeared relaxed and happy as they enjoyed a quiet dinner away from the cameras.
The sighting comes after several days of speculation about whether the two would reunite during Kelce’s break. Swift had been spotted in the city earlier this week, grabbing dinner with Gigi Hadid on Monday night, while Kelce had stayed under the radar following the Chiefs’ recent win against the Buffalo Bills.

This isn’t the first time the couple has used his bye week to reconnect — during the 2024 season, they attended a New York Yankees game together, a moment that quickly went viral among fans.
Keeping Things Private This Year
While Swift and Kelce were more open with their relationship in the past, both seem to be prioritizing privacy this year. During the November 5 episode of Kelce’s podcast, New Heights, co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce, the NFL star was asked whether he’d share any details about his week off.
Kelce immediately laughed off the question, replying:
“No, no chance.”
That lighthearted refusal seems in line with the couple’s new approach — maintaining a quieter, more grounded relationship despite the constant media attention.
Wedding Planning and a Future Together
Behind the scenes, though, things are reportedly moving full speed ahead. According to an October 28 report from Us Weekly, Swift and Kelce are actively wedding planning and searching for what one insider called their “forever home.”
“Plans for their nuptials are coming along,” the source shared. “They are both very involved, and Taylor thinks it’s cute that Travis wants to help.”
The insider added that the couple’s shared desire for a “simple, normal home life” has been a grounding force amid their hectic schedules.
“With both of their high-profile careers, it feels good to have simplicity and normalcy together,” the source said.
A second insider also revealed that when the couple is together, they make a conscious effort to unplug completely.
“They love to turn their phones off and have no distractions.”
Taylor’s “Happy Place” Inspired by Travis
Swift recently opened up about how Kelce has influenced her outlook on love and stability. In an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, the Grammy winner explained that her song “Wi$h Li$t” from The Life of a Showgirl reflects her dream of building a quiet life with Kelce.
In the song’s chorus, she sings:
“I just want you / Have a couple kids / Got the whole block looking like you / We tell the world to leave us the f*** alone… and they do / Wow / Got me dreaming ’bout a driveway / with a basketball hoop / Boss up, settle down.”
Swift said that Kelce inspired this new outlook:
“When I met Travis, I started to feel like I could be a person who could have romantic whims and have these dreams.”
She likened the feeling to finding a “happy place,” referencing the movie Happy Gilmore:
“It’s this utopia of what I want my future to look like. That chorus is me describing my happy place.”
A Much-Needed Break Before the Next Game
For now, it seems the couple is enjoying their time off quietly before Kelce returns to practice. The Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to play the Denver Broncos on November 16, marking Kelce’s return to the field.
Until then, Swift and Kelce are expected to remain in New York, spending their days out of the spotlight and enjoying a brief reprieve from their demanding schedules.
Fans, of course, are keeping a close eye on their movements — but for Taylor and Travis, this bye week seems to be about exactly what they both value most: time together, away from the noise.
