Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted Partying at Donna Kelce’s Lavish New York Birthday Bash, Days After the Pop Star’s Bold Political Endorsement of Zohran Mamdani For NYC Mayoral Election
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Celebrate Donna Kelce’s Birthday in New York After Swift’s Surprise Endorsement of Zohran Mamdani
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce lit up New York City over the weekend as they joined friends and family to celebrate Donna Kelce’s birthday. The pop megastar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end were spotted arriving hand in hand at a chic Manhattan restaurant where the private celebration was held. The sighting quickly set social media ablaze—not only because of the couple’s warm public display of affection but also because it came just days after Swift made headlines for endorsing New York politician Zohran Mamdani.

According to onlookers, the pair looked “completely in sync,” laughing together and mingling comfortably with family members, including Travis’s brother Jason Kelce. Taylor, 35, reportedly wore a sleek black mini dress paired with knee-high boots, while Travis opted for a casual but polished look in a cream sweater and tailored pants. The two were seen chatting with Donna throughout the night, who, according to guests, was “radiant” as she celebrated surrounded by her sons and the pop icon who has become a beloved member of the Kelce family circle.
The outing marks one of the couple’s first major public appearances since Swift endorsed Zohran Mamdani, a progressive New York State Assembly member known for his advocacy on housing and social justice issues. Swift’s endorsement, made via her social media platforms earlier this week, stirred intense online debate, with fans and political commentators alike praising her for using her influence to amplify a younger, reform-minded voice in politics.
While some observers saw the timing of her public appearance as symbolic, others viewed it as a welcome return to normalcy for the superstar, who has balanced her global fame, ongoing Eras Tour commitments, and growing political presence. “Taylor’s doing what she does best—showing up authentically,” one entertainment insider noted. “She’s unafraid to speak her mind politically and still fully embraces her personal life. That balance is exactly what keeps people so captivated by her.”
The New York celebration also hinted at how close the Grammy winner has grown to Travis’s family. Donna Kelce, who has become a fan favorite in her own right, was seen beaming as she toasted alongside Taylor and Travis. Guests reportedly enjoyed an intimate dinner followed by music, laughter, and a birthday cake decorated in Kansas City Chiefs red and gold.
Though neither Taylor nor Travis have commented publicly on the event, fan photos and brief clips posted online captured their affectionate moments—hugging, dancing, and even sharing a quiet toast with Donna. The images quickly went viral, with fans dubbing the evening “a family affair to remember.”
For Swift, the evening was a rare moment of celebration amid an increasingly high-profile year filled with political attention, tour success, and personal milestones. And for the Kelces, it was a family birthday that turned into yet another viral chapter in one of pop culture’s favorite love stories.
