- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were photographed holding hands after enjoying a date night on Saturday.
- It is the first time the couple has been photographed together in public.
- They also stopped by “Saturday Night Live” to make separate surprise appearances.
It really looks like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have just gotten their relationship off to a good start.
The 33-year-old singer and the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end appear to be quashing speculation that their relationship is a PR stunt. They were photographed holding hands after enjoying a date night in New York City.
Their first public display of affection came after the two had dinner at celebrity hotspot Nobu, according to photos and videos obtained by TMZ and Page Six.
Swift and Kelce later went to Rockefeller Center, where they made separate surprise appearances on “Saturday Night Live.”
In the first episode since the end of the writers’ strike, hosted by Pete Davidson, Kelce made a cameo appearance at the end of a skit in which he mocked the NFL’s media frenzy over his alleged off-field romance with Swift.
Swift, meanwhile, surprised viewers when she introduced musical guest Ice Spice for her second performance of the night.
Both Kelce and Swift, who previously hosted “SNL” (Swift also appeared as a musical guest four times), then rounded out the evening at the NBC show’s afterparty, pictures from Getty Images showed.
Representatives for Swift and Kelce did not immediately respond to Insider’s requests for comment outside of normal work hours.
Since rumors about their relationship began circulating in September, Swift has attended a number of Kelce’s games, most recently the Chiefs’ home win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday.
During the game, the “Style” singer was seen chatting with Donna and Ed Kelce in the Kelce family suite, according to People. Photos published by Mail Online showed Swift’s security team outside Kelce’s home until Friday afternoon, suggesting the pop star had stayed overnight.

However, Saturday night’s outing marks the first time the two have been photographed together in public by paparazzi, and many are taking this as confirmation that they are indeed dating.
The new relationship comes months after Swift split from Joe Alwyn, her boyfriend of six years, in April.
During this relationship, neither Swift nor the “Conversations With Friends” actor publicly announced that they were dating, instead letting their public appearances together speak for themselves.
