CELEBRITY
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoyed an intimate double date with Taylor’s BFF Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds in New York City on Friday night.
Following her sell-out Eras tour, Taylor Swift enjoyed some downtime at an upscale New York eatery, joined by her partner Travis Kelce, and A List pals Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold.
The power couples, who have both recently made generous donations to charities for hurricane victims, enjoyed a night out at The Corner Store in Soho, an ‘upscale take on a classic American joint’.
Taylor stunned onlookers in a daring nude and black lace top and skirt, wearing a chic camel coat and black heel boots, accessorised with gold jewellery and a black bag. The 34-year-old walked hand-in-hand with her current boyfriend, Super Bowl winner Travis, as they made their way through crowds to their dinner reservation. It Ends With Us actress Blake Lively wore a burgundy knitted outfit and boots, with Ryan Reynolds looking dapper as ever in jeans, white shacket and tan desert boots.
Following the devastation left behind by hurricane Milton this week, both couples donated money to help those affected, with Taylor forking out $5m for Feeding America. The organisation thanked her in a heartfelt statement on Instagram, writing: “We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous $5 million donation to Hurricanes Helene and Milton relief efforts. This contribution will help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water, and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms.”
It added: “Together, we can make a real impact in supporting families as they navigate the challenges ahead. Thank you, Taylor, for standing with us in the movement to end hunger and for helping communities in need.”
Meanwhile, Taylor’s pals and “longtime supporters” of Feeding America, Blake and Ryan put $1m towards the charity’s fundraiser. They thanked the parents-of-three, saying: “We want to extend our most sincere gratitude to @blakelively and @vancityreynolds for their $1 million donation to help people impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton rebuild and recover. Their longtime support of Feeding America has had an immense impact on communities nationwide. Thank you!”
Elsewhere, rumours have started to circulate about Taylor and Travis taking the next step in their relationship and committing to each other more permanently.
Three time Super Bowl champ and Ex-NFL star Troy Aikman appeared to make a blunder when referring to Taylor as Travis’ “missus”, leading to announcer Joe Buck correcting him. Recalling the mistake on Barstool’s Pardon My Take podcast, co-host PFT Commenter praised his commentary, but joked about his slip up.
He quipped: “Unless you make a minor mistake on the air and you accidentally say that Taylor Swift is married to Travis Kelce.”
Aikman couldn’t help but react with his own take on the fuss, pondering: “Was that a big deal. Was I on a tight rope right there? This morning, I woke up and saw a headline like, ‘Aikman knew he was in trouble’ or something and I was like, ‘Gosh, if this is newsworthy … Really?”
He then hinted at exclusive inside information from a source during a chat, revealing: “I don’t know if I cursed them or not, but somebody actually reached out to me today and said that they might actually be engaged – so, I might’ve broke the story.”
Travis’ mum Donna Kelce commented on the possibility, telling Page Six : “Nobody knows that. We will see what happens. You never know. I don’t give my kids advice. They have everything all settled. They’re far more able to make those decisions on their own.
