Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift shared a passionate kiss as the clock struck midnight in Kansas City, with the couple ringing in the new year with a glitzy party surrounded by friends.
On New Year’s Day, video from the party surfaced on social media, with the singer and the NFL star caught on camera in a passionate embrace on a number of clips from the bash.
Swift wore a glittering dress to the party, while Kelce wore a sleek suit.
Friends shared several videos from the night, including one of Kelce’s close friends filming the room as the clock struck midnight and inadvertently catching the couple kissing.
Another guest filmed themselves in the midst of the festivities, with Travis and Taylor smooching in the background for the duration of the video.

They partied the night away after Swift went to support Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs in their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
The singer arrived at Arrowhead Stadium wearing a replica of the same Chiefs jacket that Kelce wore to the Christmas Day NFL game, which she also attended. A closer inspection reveals that she has ‘Tay’ stitched into the sleeve of her version – a nickname Travis has previously used for her.
They spent a lot of time together over the holidays, with the singer taking a break before a year of touring in 2024.
Kelce is currently in the midst of another exhausting NFL season, but he has at least two games in Kansas City on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve, allowing him to spend more time at home than if the Chiefs were scheduled to play on the road.
The Chiefs won the AFC West on Sunday, giving Kelce yet another reason to celebrate after the game.
His team, the Super Bowl champions from last year, will finish the regular season next Sunday in Los Angeles against the Chargers before turning their attention to the playoffs.
Swift’s Eras Tour doesn’t resume until February, but if the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl – in Vegas on February 11 – she may have to make a last-minute dash from Tokyo, where she will have just finished her first shows in 2024, to the west coast to support Kelce.
Swift will then tour Australia and Singapore this year, before spending four months touring Europe in the summer.
They were later seen outside the stadium together on their way to the party.
And, according to reports last week, Kelce has big plans for Europe, with Swift’s tour overlapping with his football offseason.
During her days off, the 34-year-old is said to have planned trips to vineyards in Italy and dinner reservations at some of Europe’s finest restaurants for the couple.
The Chiefs star could also use his time in the UK to plan his own adventures.
Travis recently suggested on the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, that they do live shows in the United Kingdom after learning that they both sell the most NFL jerseys there.
Kelce’s season will end on February 11 with the Super Bowl, with teams typically reporting back for preseason in early August.
The couple made their relationship public in late September of last year, when she arrived in Kansas City to support him against the Chicago Bears on September 24. For the duration of the game, she sat next to his mother, Donna.
Swift stated in her only interview since then that they had been spending time together and were already a couple.
‘By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,’ Swift told TIME magazine after being named Person of the Year for 2023.
‘I believe some people believe they saw our first date at that game? We would never be insane enough to force a first date.
‘When you say a relationship is public, it means I’m going to see him do what he enjoys, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there, and we don’t care.
‘The inverse is that you have to go to great lengths to ensure that no one knows you’re seeing someone. And we’re just happy for one another.’
