Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hold hands on romantic date as her bitter ex mocks her publicly
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce coordinated in matching white attire as they held hands on their way to dinner in Manhattan on Saturday - ahead of their two-year anniversary of dating.
Romance rumors first sparked in July 2023 shortly after the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended his first Eras Tour concert and - by September 24, 2023 - the 35-year-old billionaire pop star cheered him on at a football game alongside his mother Donna.
Taylor - who relies on stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer - looked leggy in a frilly tank mini-dress with $895 beige Christian Louboutin 'Miss Jane Sandals.'
Swift wore gold jewelry to match the buttons and fasteners on her dress and she rocked a muted red lip, her signature cat eyeliner, and fringed partial updo.
There's still no engagement ring on the 14-time Grammy winner's left-ring finger, but Abelini jewelry founder Nilesh Rakholia exclusively told DailyMail.com that a ring of her caliber 'would typically range from $1M to $4M.'
'Knowing Taylor, the ring itself, or the way it's revealed, might contain subtle nods or "Easter eggs" for her fans, perhaps relating to a significant date, a song lyric, or a shared symbol in her relationship,' Rakholia mused.
Meanwhile, Travis slicked his hair back and wore a floral-embroidered short-sleeve button-up with black trousers, white socks, and black patent leather loafers.
The inseparable couple's street sighting came the day after Taylor's most recent ex-boyfriend - 1975 frontman Matty Healy - took a bitter dig at her album The Tortured Poets Department while onstage performing at the Glastonbury Festival in England.
'What this moment is making me realize is that I probably am the best,' the 36-year-old British rocker told the crowd cheekily, raising a pint of Guinness.
'I'm probably the best songwriter of my generation. The best, what do we say, A POET...ladies and gentlemen, is what I am. Generational wordsmith...I just wanted to remind you in the next couple of minutes, these lyrics, this poetry, I Bleed For You. Take it away boys.'
The band then launched into Chocolate from their 2013 self-titled debut, before Matty remarked, 'I was only joking about being a poet' at its conclusion.

Healy and Swift had a short-lived romance in 2023.
Swift has been enjoying some time off since completing her Eras tour in December 2024.
She did, however, make a surprise appearance with Kane Brown, who was performing her hit Shake It Off at a Tight End University show in Nashville.
The singer's boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was co-hosting the annual gathering of NFL players designed to help them 'bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers.'

Jury returns to deliberate for a second day at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial
A jury returns to deliberate for a second day Tuesday at the sex trafficking trial of music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs. On Monday, jurors deliberated over five hours without reaching a verdict after receiving instructions on the law from the trial judge, Arun Subramanian. They are deciding whether prosecutors have proven racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges during a trial that began in early May. Prosecutors say Combs for two decades used his fame, fortune and a roster of employees and associates to help him coerce and force two different girlfriends to repeatedly perform sexually with male sex workers for days at a time while he watched and sometimes filmed the drug-fueled events. Defense lawyers say prosecutors are unjustly basing federal crimes on what Combs did in the bedroom with his girlfriends as they participated in the swinger lifestyle and on acts of domestic violence involving their client. Combs, 55, could face 15 years in prison to life behind bars if he is convicted of all charges. After pleading not guilty, Combs chose not to testify as his lawyers built their arguments for acquittal mostly through lengthy cross examinations of dozens of witnesses called by prosecutors, including some of Combs' former employees who took the witness stand reluctantly only after being granted immunity. When jurors first left the room to begin deliberating on Monday, Combs sat for a while slumped in his chair at the defense table before standing and turning toward three rows of spectators packed with his family and friends. Those supporters held hands and lowered their heads in prayer, as did Combs, who was several feet from them in the well of the courtroom. After they finished, they together applauded, and so did Combs, still clapping as he turned back toward the front of the room. Combs also showed off two books he's reading: 'The Power of Positive Thinking' by Norman Vincent Peale and 'The Happiness Advantage' by Shawn Achor. Barely an hour into deliberations, the jury foreperson sent a note to the judge, complaining that there was one juror 'who we are concerned cannot follow your Honor's instructions. May I please speak with your Honor or may you please interview him?' The judge decided instead to send jurors a note reminding them of their duties to deliberate and obligation to follow his instructions on the law. By day's end, the jury seemed back on track, requesting clarification about what qualifies as drug distribution, an aspect of the racketeering conspiracy charge that will help determine whether Combs can be convicted or exonerated on the count.

Cute dates, bisexual chaos and game-changing kisses: video games' best queer moments
Life Is Strange, as a series, is really characterised by a patented mix of earnestness and cringe for me – but you can't fault its determination to put queer characters front and centre. It has been variably successful at this – the messy relationship between shy, photography-obsessed Max and chaotic blue-haired Chloe in 2015's original Life Is Strange was left somewhat ambiguous, but Alex Chen in Life Is Strange: True Colors was openly bi and pretty laidback about it. My favourite queer moment from the series, though, came in last year's Double Exposure. Max Caulfield is now a grownup with a photography residency at a small-town college, and has finally figured herself out. She flirts confidently with Vince, the handsome but terrible it-boy on campus. But when it comes to Amanda, the exceedingly cool lesbian behind the bar at the local pub? She is so awkward it's painful. I loved this because it is my firm personal belief that all bisexual people are both terrified by and attracted to cool lesbians. If you get to the point when you take Amanda on a date, you are treated to one of the sweetest scenes I've ever seen in a game: they go to an imaginary gig. The women riff off each other, conjuring the most chaotic show imaginable with words and laughter. It is, along with Nathan Drake and Elena playing Crash Bandicoot together in Uncharted 4, the most believable relationship scene in games. (And yes, even after the date goes really well, Max still hesitates over kissing her.)Keza MacDonald, the Guardian's video games editor It has to be the relationship between Ellie and Dina in The Last of Us Part II. I know this one gets a lot of attention, but it's for good reason. There are so few queer stories in media that don't revolve around traumatic experiences. Acknowledging the struggles of any marginalised group is vital to sharing that perspective – but so is highlighting the joy. I think it's incredible that, in a game that deals with such heavy themes and tragic character development, these two were allowed to experience a joyful, supportive relationship. They could be people with flaws who made choices, instead of being defined solely by their queerness. The evolution of the narrative and eventual conflict between them was the result of Ellie's choices and actions – which made the story that much more impactful to Hufford, producer of (and voice of Ducky in) Date Everything!, out now When I was a teenager, I came across this game called Fable. I played through the tutorial. I wanted to spice it up. I used a cheat engine. I made my character really buff. It felt a little … wrong. Not because I cheated. But because I didn't look like that. Does this character still represent me? Am I allowed to do this? > Don't know. I got to the first town. I came across a merchant. I bought out everything he had. I regifted everything back to him. I saw a heart begin to form. Can I … really do this? > Guess so. I gave him the wedding ring. We got gay-married. We moved into this house I bought. And then I never touched the game again. – I was a closeted teenager. Everyone around me knew. Everyone but me of course. I was a chubby little kid. Everyone around me knew. And everyone kept reminding me. I can't help but laugh. Guilty for being swole in-game. But never for being gay-married. Funny how a teenage mind Boozayaangool of Tan Ant Games, developer of Building Relationships, out later this year My love for queer games exists at two ends of a spectrum. At one end is 'beautifully done nuance and subtlety' and at the other is 'delightful, wilful chaos'. This feels in keeping with being a gender-wobbly bisexual. In the realm of nuance and subtlety, my earliest love was playing Gone Home, and the slow discovery of your sister Sam's queerness, and the catharsis of her getting to live her life authentically after rejection by her parents. Then there was Unpacking, about making space for a new partner after the nightmare that was trying to fit your things around a boyfriend who wouldn't budge. Or most recently, there was the (spoiler alert) very natural growth of Henry and Hans's relationship in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, which has to be one of the most beautifully written romances in games in years. Of course, on the other side of the coin is mischief and honesty. Thirsty Suitors captures the messiness and interconnectedness of queer dating, and the fallout that can occur when someone is still figuring themselves out. When it comes to my own game, Crescent County, we absolutely come down on the side of chaos. There is often pressure to perform 'perfect' queer representation, but that robs characters of their bite and humanity. I completely understand the draw of pure wholesomeness, but we shouldn't sanitise ourselves for the sake of acceptability!Anna Hollinrake, creative director of Crescent County, out next year The thing about a lot of queer moments in the video game era I grew up in – which my child loves to refer to as 'the late 1900s' (my bones are dust) – is that it was the villains who were queer coded. Wholesome queer moments were as rare as a writer who can come up with a new and original 'as rare as' simile. That's why I loved Unpacking so much. On the face of it, the game is simply about unpacking your belongings as you move from place to place, but it's a masterpiece of show-not-tell. You move out of your parents' house, get room-mates, and eventually move in with your boyfriend, who immediately minimises your space and self expression. At that point I yelled to my wife 'SHE'S GAY!' But I often do that with characters I like, so she took no note. However, I was right. As the game progresses she meets a new partner, grows closer to them, and eventually they have a child together and you're unpacking the baby's bedroom. It finishes with the most wholesome lesbian representation I've ever seen in a video creator of Quantum Witch, out now
