The 14-time Grammy winner wore an oversized gray blazer, dark top and heels, while the tight end chose a green, brown and tan bowling shirt paired with matching trousers, according to photos obtained by News Of Losangeles.
A Quiet Night Out
Swift exited the vehicle first, moving ahead of Kelce toward a private elevator that whisked them to the upscale Italian eatery. The pair kept their heads down and offered no comment to photographers stationed outside.
The Monday-evening outing followed a low-key Friday, Jan. 9, when Swift reportedly delivered fresh sourdough loaves to friends including Este, Danielle and Alana Haim plus 20-year-old singer Sombr. Each loaf carried Swift’s handwritten labels, a personal touch the star has embraced since wrapping her record-breaking Eras Tour.
Baking Therapy
“We’re very deep in a sourdough obsession that has taken over my life,” Swift told the New Heights podcast in August 2025, explaining that time in the kitchen helps her decompress after months on stage.
Sophia A. Reynolds noted that the Haim sisters and Sombr were later photographed leaving West Hollywood’s Bird Streets Club carrying the artisan bread, suggesting Swift’s hobby has become a favorite gift among her inner circle.
Playoff Heartbreak
Kelce’s postseason absence was sealed when the Chiefs lost to the L.A. Chargers on Dec. 14. Swift, joined by her mother Andrea, Donna Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, watched from the tight end’s suite in what could prove to be Kelce’s final meaningful game.
The 36-year-old has yet to announce whether he will return for a 14th season. His current contract expires in March, and he told reporters in November 2025 he wants to give the organization “a good opportunity” to plan for the future.
“Like, whether they want me back or not, it’s one of those things where I’d like to make that decision before they’ve got to get draft picks and free agency opens up,” Kelce said.
What’s Next
With the offseason underway, both Swift and Kelce have cleared their immediate schedules. The singer has no tour dates until late 2026, and the athlete has months to weigh retirement against another run on the gridiron.
For now, the couple appears focused on quiet Los Angeles nights, homemade bread and time away from the spotlight.
