Watch: Taylor Swift Leaves Performance to RECEIVE Boyfriend Travis Kelce With a Heartwarming Embrace, as He Arrives the Venue for her ERAS Tour in Australia
Kelce spent under an hour at one of his favorite haunts in the city, Rye, taking a to-go bag with him as he slipped out the back entrance of the busy restaurant.
He is regular at Rye and Swift, 34, took his teammates’ girlfriends out for a birthday dinner in January – picking up the bill and opting to try the cinnamon roll which is reportedly Kelce’s favorite.
Swift is currently on the Australian leg of her Era’s tour and fans have speculated whether Kelce would rush to support her in Melbourne after their romance dominated NFL coverage this season.
But Swift’s boyfriend appears in no rush to make the long journey to Australia, looking calm as he walked into Rye – despite receiving backlash for his partying antics.
The NFL star was hit with a barrage of criticism after he was pictured at a ‘scaled down’ party following the mass shooting at the Chief’s Super Bowl parade.
Both Kelce and Swift donated $100,000 to victims of the shooting, which saw 22 people rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds and left one woman, a local radio DJ, dead. Police confirmed around half of those injured were children.
The tight end’s donation came after he faced waves of criticism for partying and posing for a smiling selfie with a police officer in the wake of the deadly shooting.
He was seen beaming at Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar on Wednesday, in a snap obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, alongside several teammates and their WAGs – including Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany.
Kelce was part of a small group at the sports bar which also included Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend, center Creed Humphrey, tight end Matt Bushman, his wife Emily, and Mahomes.
Earlier in the day, local DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan was shot and killed in the incident which started as a ‘dispute’ between a group of two youths, according to investigators.
Two juveniles have been arrested and were charged on Friday in connection with the incident, but Missouri law means their hearing was held in private and no other details have been made public.
The pair appeared in Jackson County Family Court on gun-related charges as well as resisting arrest.
Authorities are expecting more charges against the teens which could see them tried as adults.
