Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce dropped $400-plus on food & drinks in Florida

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are about to celebrate two years together this summer. I admire the fact that they haven’t allowed society or their families to pressure them into making a big commitment before they’re ready. One of the things I’ve never really considered about their relationship is how much fun it must be for Taylor to date a professional football player because of the food situation. Travis probably has to bulk up and carb-load at certain points of his season, like right now. He’ll soon report to the Chiefs’ training camp, so he’s bulking up and eating everything in sight. Travis and Taylor were in West Palm Beach, Florida over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, and TMZ had details about their order:

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might be so high school, but they’ve certainly got loftier tastes than a couple of kids on prom night … just check out what they ate on their most recent date! We broke the story … sharing pics of Taylor and Travis getting cozy on a date night down in Palm Beach — and, now we know what they ordered on their night out, and how much coin they dropped on the meal.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ … the pop star and the footballer started off dinner at Harry’s with a couple drinks. Taylor got a Melena — Wheatley craft vodka, passion fruit, organic vanilla, shaken and topped w/ bubbles — while Travis pounded a Purple Rain — Hendricks oasium gin, green tea, crème de Violette, citrus, shaken and topped with bubbles.

Then, T-Swift and Killa Trav ordered a feast built for a Queen and King of their respective industries … grabbing an endive salad, Cacio e Pepe pasta, lobster risotto, a dry-aged burger, Dover sole, wagyu filet mignon, garlic broccolini and potato puree.

Our sources say Taylor ate the Dover sole and picked at the lobster risotto — while Travis must be bulking in the offseason … crushing the wagyu filet, the dry-aged burger and some of the Cacio e Pepe. They shared the other dishes.

All told, our sources say the couple dropped nearly $400 on dinner … though we don’t know how much they left for a tip. Of course, they didn’t handle payment themselves … ’cause we’re told security closed out on their behalf.

After months out of the spotlight, we’ve seen Travis and Taylor getting back into their old routine … namely, spending every waking minute during the NFL offseason with each other before Travis has to report to training camp.

$400 sounds too low, but I checked the prices on Harry’s menu and I guess that’s about on target. It depends on how many drinks they ordered. The mention of the drinks is important too – there has been so much speculation that Taylor is knocked up. She’s not – she wouldn’t be drinking fancy cocktails if she was pregnant. Anyway, this is heaven to me – dating a guy who orders this much food and is fine with sharing.

Incidentally, Taylor Swift apparently skipped the AMAs last night, which ended up working out well since she was snubbed for all of the awards in which she was nominated.

    Was she “snubbed” at the AMA’s or did others have something superior that won? No shame in losing to something good. Phrasing it that way takes away from other’s wins.

    • Nick says:

      its a fan voted award so its no based off being good or bad,its just who voted the most!Also taylor is clearly on permanent hiatus since december ,i’m not sure why people keep speculating about her going places!

    • Jais says:

      I’ve really enjoyed a lot of Taylor’s music over the years but from what I can tell the Tortured Poet’s album wasn’t her best? So yeah I don’t think it’s a snub if it wasn’t the highest quality. She won so many awards the year before so it shouldn’t be a big deal if she doesn’t win every year. Especially after a successful tour. But yeah, I’ll be interested to see where she goes next with her music.

    • Mandragora says:

      Eyeroll. Love her or loathe her she’s the most successful artist around today on the numbers. If she released something tomorrow it would be the biggest-selling album of the year.

      The AMAs has notoriously been rumoured to give ‘fan-voted’ awards to the people likely to show for years – and is now controlled by MAGA-owned Penske media who aren’t likely to do any favours for a woman Trump very famously hates.

    • Tis True Tis True says:

      This! I hate this notion that any loss is a snub. So one person’s winning becomes a personal attack on at least à dozen other artists.

      It’s just a nasty way to play with people’s mental health

  2. Jais says:

    Yum. I’m fr envious of her food life.

    • Blithe says:

      Yup! Dining with someone who orders prodigiously— and lets me taste everything— would be awesome! Tapas Life!

  3. WaterDragon says:

    Still not fond of Travis’ style choices.

    • Blithe says:

      While I love that he seems to have fun playing with fashion, changing up his looks, and seemingly not taking himself too seriously. It would be a blast being his personal shopper. I’m not saying that I actually like most of his choices, but I do like how much fun he seems to be having making them.

      • Jais says:

        The dream. I’m usually scolded for wanting to try other people’s food, as in eat what your ordered and stop trying to eat my food. I just want to try a few bites, jeez, not the whole dang thing.

      • Jais says:

        And I meant that to Blithe’s comment above! Not the one about clothes, lol.

  4. Nick says:

    why do people feel comfortable talking about her commitments or being knocked up!its like how is that anybody’s business but their own!Like why do people have to mention that in every article about them!Taylor is allowed to date in peace and live her life out of the hollywood bubble of red carpets! I for one think that she’s going to disappear for at least 5 years like Adele and we will never know if or when she gets married because she probably is put off by the never ending headlines around her personal life or choices!

  5. DaveW says:

    I thought for the AMA’s the people who commit to attending are the “winners.” Or maybe that’s another awards show?

    • sevenblue says:

      No, they just know in advance if they won the award, so they decide to attend or not. That is why it is mostly the winners attending the show.

    • Christine says:

      Not sure about the AMAs, but that’s exactly how the MtV video awards work, only the winners show up

  6. Mtl.ex.pat says:

    Mmmm cacio e pepe!

  7. Giddy says:

    If I were in their position, I wouldn’t return to a place where my order was known immediately. If employees will tell all this they will also tell about anything overheard, or if the couple seemed to be arguing, happy, etc. Privacy must be such a rare thing in their world.

  8. SarahLee says:

    I’ve actually been to Harry’s and it is a pretty down-to-earth spot. Not expensive. Not cheap, but good food and drinks.

    • It Really Is You, Not Me says:

      My first thought is that 400 seemed kind of low for a fancy place in Miami. I live in the Orlando area which is a lot cheaper than Miami and my husband and I can easily drop 200 on a nice dinner with 2 drinks each.

      But that price makes more sense if it’s without tip and is more low-key place that just has excellent food. This might be the best publicity that restaurant ever had because I sure want to try it now.

      • Mightymolly says:

        Right? I first read that headline as $400k and thought they were having a full on holiday with friends. Is $400 news worthy?

  9. acha says:

    Once a year my husband and I splurge on a fantastic meal, and we spend around 300 at a decent (Bib Gourmand-level) restaurant. Ordering fancy cocktails ups that price, as is getting coffee and dessert afterwards. 400 seems about par for Harry’s, which is a step up from Bib Gourmand even. Good for them! This feels very normal and coupley.

  10. FancyPants says:

    As my grandfather would say, that a’int nothin’ but a $400 turd. No one meal is worth that much money.

  11. NotMika says:

    I love the idea that people think Taylor is going to “rush” into marriage and a baby, as if she doesn’t have a billion dollar empire to consider before she attaches herself legally to anyone. Never forget that this woman, at age 25ish, told Vogue magazine that her advice for aspiring singers was “get a good lawyer”. This is not Britney and KFed. If they are even thinking of marriage, you better believe there is a war room for that prenup.

    • wendy says:

      fair to say with some of the videos, songs, imagery etc. that we have convinced ourselves Taylor is just itching for that fairy tale wedding, two babies and white picket fence.

      She might be – but she might also really enjoy the jet set lifestyle that she is living.

    • Sue says:

      Thank you. The obsession with wondering if famous women are pregnant because they happen to be in love with someone gives me the ick.

      • Maria says:

        Doing a close up of the shirt in the first pic. Can someone else see what I am seeing in the figures, or am I just of a dirty mind?

    • windyriver says:

      It’s worth pointing out Taylor isn’t the only one who would consider their financial position. Maybe that’s one of the things they find attractive about each other – both being savvy about their business dealings. Travis’ career earnings pre-the 2025 season are about $95 million (another almost $20 million due for 2025), plus he has endorsements, etc. on top of that. And he and Jason signed a three year deal for the New Heights podcast reportedly worth over $100 million.

      • NotMika says:

        Yeah but there is no way in HELLLL that podcast would be worth $100 mill without Taylor’s audience.

        That said: absolutely he needs to think of himself and consider his long term earning and goals. I am also of the opinion that any and every couple should have these open financial conversations before marriage, respectfully consider what a break-up could look like and advocate for themselves. Roughly half of marriages end! It’s not a betrayal of romance to talk about what might happen to you if you get a divorce!

    • Truthiness says:

      Tree Paine has been using People and E! to drop “ring stories” since 2023. Those are Tree’s media members of choice, they’re going to let Tree respond or quash before they release something. There was an online pregnancy report but it wasn’t buttressed by those 2 media sources and it was a couple months ago. RIP Travis’ biological clock, Jason has scolded him into silence a few times. I SWEAR guys are equal opportunity about this, or at least the guys I dated.

      Taylor showing up next to Maralago at a restaurant that I I think is based in NYC is a choice, go Bruce Springsteen.

      • North of Boston says:

        Not sure I follow?

        What about Travis’s “clock”?

        And is W Palm Beach off limits or something?

      • Truthiness says:

        I wouldn’t be caught 5 minutes from someone that had an unhealthy focus on me but Trump might’ve been somewhere else or maybe it was about the wagyu.

        Travis has taken heat for saying how much he wanted to start having kids, esp when he doesn’t choose the right way to say it. He got burned for saying he wanted to “marry a breeder” or wanting to start ‘making a basketball team’ with his tall girlfriend. It’s pretty wholesome though to see him engage with his nieces like they’re the most important people on earth, he’s dialed in and connecting.

  12. wendy says:

    we have been working in Orange county the last two months — $400 for two people at a mid-range restaurant with cocktails seems pretty normal. Whether it should cost that much is a discussion, but it isn’t uncommon.

  13. Lightpurple says:

    Considering a bottle of wine can cost $400 at some restaurants and I’ve seen steak in the $90 range, that price seems well within reason and she can afford it

    • Eurydice says:

      Really, fancy cocktails are $25 here, a steak at $90 (more if it’s Waygu), Dover sole at $85, sides $13-$15, etc.

    • Becks1 says:

      My husband and I have spent 400 dollars at nice restaurants for nice occasions so I don’t even bat at an eye at this. It seems pretty low for a billionaire.

  14. Kiki says:

    I think TMZs writing style is so awful. It’s like the. Y Cousin From Boston guy became real and got a job writing there.

  15. SJI says:

    That mustache and hair is certainly a… choice. Tbh, I thought they would have broken up by now.

    Meanwhile, I was standing in the grocery store debating with myself if I should spend $6 on cookies this weekend.

    • Sparky says:

      The header pic is from pre-season last year. Travis always goes funky with with his hair during pre-season and then goes normal once the season starts. Sort of the same thing as a playoff beard.

    • NotSoSocialB says:

      Who gives a flip about his facial and head hair when his back is COVERED in hair 🤢

  16. IdlesAtCranky says:

    My snark for this morning:

    Is it just me, or does he look like he’s wearing an … inexpensive … toupee??

  17. MaisiesMom says:

    As astronomical as prices for cocktails are these days, I’m surprised it wasn’t higher.

    • Libra says:

      Agree. Why so high? Husband and I went out for dinner Memorial Day and his 2 drinks cost more than his dinner.

  18. ariel says:

    She EARNED every bit of time off she takes. He works really hard too, both in football, but with his entertainment career at large, as he can. And she shows up for charity golfing, which i am sure is for fun, but it is nice that he shows up for causes.

    I hope they are having a lovely time together.

  19. QuiteContrary says:

    Still rooting for these crazy kids!

  20. Flamingo says:

    $200 pp is really not a lot for a mid to high end restaurant. But I am in the NYC so that is like 20 bucks here everything is so fraking expensive.

    Nice to see them out and about just having a normal date night like every other couple in the world. She doesn’t’ have to travel in suitcases and in rolling carts. She can just walk into a place sit down enjoy a meal. People stare for five minutes then go on with their evening.

    I really hope they go the distance he just seems like a big teddy bear and she loves to love him. Sometimes you just find your lobster. It’s not that complicated.

  21. martha says:

    They strike me as 30% tip people

    At least I like to think so.
