Although Travis Kelce is reportedly
throwing Taylor Swift a “rager” birthday bash, the Eras Tour performer celebrated her 34th a little early this week with a low-key dinner in NYC.
Swift was spotted alongside her longtime (and newly off the market!) bestie Selena Gomez on Tuesday. The pair arrived arm-in-arm to NYC’s most coveted members-only club, Zero Bond, with Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Sperry in tow.
It should hardly come as a surprise that Tay decided to kick off her birthday week with a visit to the buzzy Noho haunt. She’s been known to frequent the private club, which spans 20,000 feet across two floors, and has become a favorite among fellow celebrities and big spenders (the initiation fee and annual membership fees can total anywhere between $2,700 and $5,000 alone).
While Swift returned from an eventful weekend in Kansas City just in time for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year gala (where she was celebrated by the outlet), the songstress was notably absent from the Plaza Hotel soiree in favor of her evening with pals. Although Kelce did not join for the outing, he is reportedly planning something much bigger for the coming days.
According to US Weekly, the Chiefs tight end is sparing no expense to throw his pop star girlfriend the “best possible birthday.” Sources claim that “money is not an object” for the party, which will include all of Swift’s “close friends” in New York City.
And while we don’t yet know what’s on the menu (not yet, at least), Swift has been making her food and bevvy faves known as of late. Diet Coke with vodka and cosmos are among Swift’s reported go-to’s. She was also seen drinking Casa Azul canned tequila sodas at a Chiefs game earlier this year, which *is* backed by Kelce himself. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Taylor birthday without chicken fingers with ketchup and seemingly ranch.
Despite missing Time’s Person of the Year gala for the early bday party, Swift opened up about her relationship with Kelce in an interview with the magazine just earlier this month.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she told the outlet, before adding that she and Kelce “started hanging out right after that.”
“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she continued. “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
