Following a challenging Week 4 game in the 2024 NFL season, Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end Travis Kelce was treated to a cozy dinner date with pop superstar Taylor Swift at the NOA Japanese restaurant.
Despite a tough outing where Kelce managed only four receptions for 30 yards in the Chiefs’ 22-17 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on September 23, Swift was there to cheer him up after the game.
NOA, a popular upscale Japanese restaurant, has earned a reputation for its quality dining and private setting, making it a favorite among A-list celebrities.
Interestingly, this is the same spot where Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, recently celebrated her birthday, suggesting it may be a go-to for the Chiefs family. Known for offering a variety of sushi, traditional Japanese dishes, and a cocktail menu, the restaurant boasts a 4.
5/5 rating on TripAdvisor. Despite officially being “closed for maintenance” on the night of Kelce and Swift’s visit, the restaurant made an exception for the couple.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(748x210:750x212)/patrick-brittany-mahomes-anniversary-instagram-031224_2116-5a1d30d5e27a420686f7fd70c9ba93af.jpg)
This isn’t the first time Taylor Swift has sought out intimate settings for private dinners with Kelce. Earlier in their relationship, Swift reportedly closed down a restaurant, paying for everyone’s meal, to keep their blossoming romance out of the public eye. The relationship between Swift and Kelce has been generating considerable buzz, not just among NFL fans but also across pop culture circles.
Kelce bounced back from his quieter performance the following week, recording seven receptions for 89 yards in the Chiefs’ victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. With their 4-0 record intact, the Chiefs now set their sights on Week 5, where they will face the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome. The game is set for Monday, October 7, with a kickoff at 8:15 PM ET.
As the Chiefs aim to extend their undefeated streak to 5-0 and maintain their lead in the AFC West, Kelce will look to continue his momentum. And with Taylor Swift cheering him on both in the stands and after the game, fans are eager to see if this power couple will keep bringing good vibes to Kansas City’s season.
