SO LOVELY!! Taylor Swift Channels Her ‘Lover’ Era in a Pink Houndstooth Dress for Travis Kelce Date

  • Taylor Swift gave plaid an old money-coded upgrade for her latest date night with Travis Kelce on Saturday, June 28.

  • The “Blank Space” singer wore a light pink and cream houndstooth dress from Balmain while out in New York City.

  • Swift last wore a green plaid skirt set while supporting Kelce at his Tight End University event in Nashville.

Now that she’s the proud owner of her entire musical catalogue, Taylor Swift is sartorially cycling through all her different album eras.

After stepping out in a streak of 1989-coded outfits, the “Blank Space” singer swapped out her cottagecore plaid for a pink houndstooth minidress that gave off old money vibes during her latest date night with Travis Kelce

In photos obtained by People, Swift and Kelce were back in New York City on Saturday, June 28, just days after their joint Tight End University event appearance in Nashville.

Holding hands, Trayvis went for subtly coordinating date night looks for their latest Big Apple outing. Swift continued her parade of plaid, this time giving the classic print a preppy, elevated twist straight out of Gossip Girl. Her light pink and cream checked Balmain minidress appeared to be a nod to her Lover era—characterized by baby pinks, pastels, florals, and romantic details—with its feminine silhouette and metallic embellishments.

Swift’s corset-style bodice—a favorite profile for the “Bad Blood” star—flared out into a short A-line skirt with mini pleats. White lace trimmed the dress’s bustier cups and the hemline, while gold buttons ran down the front of the dress.

Gold chain-woven straps added a hint of quiet luxury shine to the ensemble, which Swift complemented with gold drop earrings and a matching choker necklace. She clutched a tiny nude box purse in hand while walking to dinner.

The “Love Story” singer’s nude Christian Louboutin sandal heels added a pop of color with the red heels, a hue that she carried through Saturday’s look with a slightly more warm-hued version of her signature red lip. Sunset-orange eyeshadow and jet-black liquid eyeliner finished off Swift’s beauty look.

Swift ditched her natural blonde curly style she’s been embracing recently, instead blowing out her hair into a sleek straight style with rounded frontal bangs. She styled her hair half-up and wore it draped over one shoulder.

Meanwhile, Travis subtly paid tribute to his girlfriend’s outfit—while also showing off his signature creative style. His white short-sleeved dress shirt, which was unbuttoned to show off an undershirt underneath, had a red flower embroidered on its lapel.

Meanwhile, ankle-length black slacks showed off a pair of bright white socks and black leather loafers underneath. Kelce finished off his Saturday look with a pair of black sunglasses.

SHOCKING SIGHTING: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Stun at the 2025 Kentucky Derby—Photos Spark Global Frenzy and Reveal a Hidden Surprise. In a dazzling and unexpected appearance, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift turned heads at the 2025 Kentucky Derby, and their sweet, intimate photos are sending fans into a frenzy around the world. But it’s not just their stunning outfits or public affection that has people talking—the images appear to reveal a shocking new development about the couple’s future. What hidden detail did fans spot—and what does it mean for the famously private pair? The internet is buzzing with theories.

Hold onto your fascinators and tighten those bow ties, because the 2025 Kentucky Derby just went from stylish to scandalously sweet. In an unexpected turn of events that has fans across the globe spiraling into full meltdown mode, pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL tight end Travis Kelce were spotted arm in arm at Churchill Downs—and they weren’t just watching the races. The pair, known for keeping their high-profile relationship relatively under wraps, made a rare and jaw-dropping public appearance at the legendary horse racing event on Saturday. Dressed to the nines in traditional Derby chic, the couple looked absolutely radiant—smiling, laughing, and turning every camera in their direction. But what really has fans losing their minds isn’t just the fact that they showed up together… it’s what the photos appear to reveal. Yes, the internet is convinced Taylor Swift is sporting a subtle baby bump—AND an engagement ring. Let’s rewind. Kelce, in a custom navy three-piece suit and white cowboy hat, and Swift, glowing in a pale blue floral dress and matching headpiece, arrived via a private entrance shortly before the first race. Despite efforts to keep a low profile, they were quickly spotted by attendees—and within minutes, the world was watching. Photos and videos flooded social media. In several, Travis is seen placing a gentle hand on Taylor’s midsection, a move many fans took as a not-so-subtle gesture. In others, Swift appears to rest her hand affectionately on his chest—and the sparkle on her left ring finger could practically blind a thoroughbred. Naturally, Swifties and NFL fans alike went into full detective mode. “IS THAT A BABY BUMP???” wrote one X (formerly Twitter) user, racking up over 5 million views in under an hour. Another posted a zoomed-in shot of Taylor’s hand with the caption, “THAT’S A ROCK. ENGAGED & EXPECTING? THE ERA TOUR BABY IS REAL!” Of course, the couple has remained famously tight-lipped about their relationship, despite going public in late 2023. Since then, they’ve been spotted at a handful of Chiefs games, a few Eras Tour stops, and even a couple of low-key date nights. But this is the first time they’ve appeared this visibly affectionate—and in such a high-profile setting. Adding fuel to the fire, a source close to the couple (who chose to remain anonymous, of course) told a tabloid: “They’ve been planning this soft launch for months. They knew the Derby would be a moment. They’re not hiding anymore.” Fans at the Derby were quick to share their reactions.“I came here for horses, I left with heart palpitations,” said one woman who managed to snap a blurry selfie with the couple in the background. “Taylor looked so happy. Like, glowing. Literally glowing.” Others pointed out the strategic brilliance of the reveal. “This is so Taylor-coded. She drops Easter eggs in lyrics and now she’s dropping them at sporting events,” joked one fan on TikTok….
