Taylor Swift was all smiles on her pre-Super Bowl night out with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes – just days after the pair’s controversial praise for Donald Trump.

Less than 48 hours before the NFL’s end-of-season showpiece, Kelce and Mahomes enjoyed some downtime in New Orleans after heading on a double date with their ladies.

The group, which also included Patrick’s wife Brittany, were seen entering and leaving popular French restaurant Lilette on Magazine Street, where a large crowd of fans had gathered to catch a glimpse of them.

A beaming Swift looked in fine spirits as she made her way out of the venue in a black dress and matching boots alongside Kelce, despite her die-hard legion of fans being left outraged by his glowing remarks about Trump this week.

The president, who controversially said he ‘hates’ Taylor in September amid her support for his election rival Kamala Harris, will be at the Superdome when Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX.

And when asked for his thoughts on Trump attending Sunday’s game, Kelce gushed to reporters that it will be an ‘honor’ to play in front of him despite his bad blood with Swift.

‘That’s awesome. It’s a great honor,’ the Chiefs тιԍнт end responded to reporters after being told Trump will be there for the big game.

‘I think you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there — it’s the best country in the world — and that’s pretty cool.’ 

Mahomes, too, admitted he was excited by the prospect of playing in front of the first ever sitting president at a Super Bowl this weekend.

‘It’s always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president, someone that is in the top position in our country,’ the quarterback said. ‘I didn’t see that clip but it’s cool to hear that he’s seen me play football and respects the game that I play.’

Travis and Patrick’s positive words about the 78-year-old angered Swifties on social media given his long-running feud with Taylor, who infamously accused him of promoting ‘white supremacy’ and ‘racism’ during his previous reign as president.

‘After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?’ the songstress wrote on Twitter (X) at the time.

As well as Travis and Patrick, the latter’s wife Brittany also controversially endorsed Trump in the lead-up to his election win back in November.

The Chiefs WAG made headlines after she appeared to like a post on Instagram detailing a number of his proposed policies, which many felt could have jeopardized her friendship with Swift given her disdain for the Republican.

Trump reacted to Mahomes’ apparent endorsement by taking aim at Swift, saying: ‘I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better [than Swift] if you want to know the truth.’

However, Taylor and Brittany quickly rubbished any talk of a rift between them when they were seen on vacation at the singer’s $17m Rhode Island holiday home with their men shortly after.

They have also been spotted together at various Chiefs games since, while Brittany and Patrick were at Taylor’s Eras Tour-themed birthday party back in December.

Swift and Mahomes celebrated on the field together after Kansas City’s AFC Championship win last month, which booked their place in a third straight Super Bowl.

The Chiefs will become the first team in NFL history to win it three years in a row if they get past the Eagles on Sunday.
