On Thursday, Taylor was joined by her fiancé, professional football tight end Travis Kelce, and the streets are talking about the couple’s chemistry, or lack thereof.

For the event, Taylor wore a seafoam-green, hand-embroidered velvet corset from Wiederhoeft with a mini skirt. Travis rocked an all-brown leather jacket, a dress shirt, and pleated trousers.

Throughout the night, Taylor had some wholesome moments — showing love to artists like Sombr, who sat beside them, and getting a dope shoutout from 2026 Winter Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu — but every time the camera panned to the lovebirds, a conversation started about their dynamic.
