Taylor Swift's brief trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX may have been overshadowed by the Kansas City Chiefs' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but new details have emerged about her fun and relaxed date night with boyfriend Travis Kelce ahead of the big game.
Before the highly anticipated Super Bowl clash, Swift and Kelce spent Friday evening enjoying a dinner date at Lilette, a high-end French restaurant located on Magazine Street in New Orleans. They were joined by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, his wife Brittany Mahomes, and several other close family and friends. According to a new report from Daily Mail, the couple was in high spirits throughout the evening, with a source describing them as "very normal" and having a "complete blast" during their time together.
As for the meal, Swift kept things casual with a Kobe beef burger and fries, while Kelce opted for the restaurant’s $37 hangar steak served with marrowed bordelaise and fries. The couple also shared an order of the Louisiana Crab Claws, a popular dish at Lilette known for its unique passionfruit butter sauce.
Sources reported that the mood at the table was lighthearted and full of excitement, as they all eagerly anticipated the Chiefs' victory in the Super Bowl. However, the night ended on a less joyful note when the Chiefs ultimately fell short in the game, with the Eagles taking home the win. Despite the loss, it seems the couple made the most of their time in New Orleans, enjoying each other’s company before the game.
Following the game, Swift reportedly flew back to her home in Nashville on Monday, marking the end of her whirlwind Super Bowl weekend.
