Travis Kelce described his October 5 Torrisi birthday dinner with Taylor Swift as the Chiefs entered their bye week.

On Monday night, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce went out in New York City for Kelce's 37th birthday. The pair arrived at a restaurant in SoHo holding hands, where they were photographed.

Simkhai’s black Zinnia Midi was Swift’s choice, a sleeveless cashmere dress featuring a V-neck and floral lace at its hem. Over the dress, she wore an oversize black leather Saint Laurent jacket, which remained open and exposed the lace-trimmed neckline.

She completed the monochrome look with black strappy Jimmy Choo sandals and a Givenchy Voyou bucket bag. Kelce wore a dark green sweater with charcoal trousers and black leather shoes.
