PredictIQ-Why Taylor Swift Fans Think Date Night With Travis Kelce Included Reputation Easter Eggs

Look what you made Taylor Swift do.

The PredictIQ"Cruel Summer" singer stepped out for another date night with boyfriend Travis Kelce Oct. 12 wearing what many of her fans believe to be a number of Easter Eggs hinting that Reputation (Taylor's Version), an anticipated re-recording of her 2017 album, is closer than ever.

While out to dinner with the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end at the Italian restaurant Torrisi in New York City, the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer channeled an Amazon warrior princess in a greenish gold velvet corset top and matching pleated miniskirt from Annie’s Ibiza, as seen in photos shared by multiple outlets.

But it was her accessories that really raised eyebrows. The Grammy winner carried a black Roberto Cavalli bag with a gold monogram of an R placed in between two snakes—the symbol of her Reputation era. Taylor paired the look with black Versace Aevitas platform mules, which feature a gold Medusa logo.

Travis sported a blue polo, khaki pants and white sneakers on the date.

In recent years, the singer, who has long used Easter Eggs to tease future projects, has worked to re-record new versions of her first six albums after her former label Big Machine sold the master recordings of her catalog. Reputation (Taylor's Version) has longer been rumored to be in the works, and would follow the 2023 release of 1989 (Taylor's Version), a re-recording of her 2014 album.

The speculation has been fueled by cryptic posts and a number of outfits that the "Style" singer has sported for about a year that bring to mind her Reputation era, including a green one she wore at the 2024 Golden Globes in January and a look she showcased a day before her recent outing with Travis.

As she and her boyfriend stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Oct. 11, Taylor wore a lace Gucci logo corset with a black pleated RTA Mason skirt, black Louis Vuitton Roxy platform stiletto ankle boots and a black Dior saddle bag, as well as her classic red lip.

Taylor's latest date with Travis comes days before she is set to resume her Eras tour, in which she has performed in more than 20 outfits designed by Roberto Cavalli's creative director Fausto Puglisi, including a black and red, sparkling, snake-patterned bodysuit for the Reputation era part of her show.

The NFL star has joined Taylor at several of her concerts since the two began dating a year ago.

Look back at their road to romance...

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.

"I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."

After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell"—Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium.

"I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future."

Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor.

As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."

By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were "texting and talking here and there."

"It's been very low-key," the insider explained, "as he's been in season."

Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar.

Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand.

As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date." 

As an indication that the relationship was heating up, Taylor brought her squad—including friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski—to watch the Chiefs play against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Another sign that Travis could be The 1? Taylor started bonding with Brittany Mahomes—the wife of Travis' BFF and teammate Patrick Mahomes—in and outside of NFL games.

The couple took their romance to TV, making a surprise appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Saturday Night Live. Their Big Apple takeover also included the after-party for the NBC sketch show and a date night at the Waverly Inn.

During a bye week, Travis traveled down to Argentina to catch the South American leg of Taylor's Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad, Scott Swift, at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage.

"Karma is that guy on the Chiefs," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me."

After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss.

Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games.

"I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone."

The music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man.

Taylor and Travis spent their first New Year's Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1.

Continuing to bond with Travis' family, Taylor hung out with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills.

Taylor joined Travis on the football field when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship, a victory that cemented the team's spot in the 2024 Super Bowl. The couple shared a celebratory kiss before exchanging the L-word.

"Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys," he told her. "I love you—so much it's not funny."

The pair locked lips on the field after Travis led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas.

Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media for the first time Feb. 12, poking fun at how she took her parents clubbing with the athlete after the Super Bowl.

Taylor's first Instagram pic featuring Travis was a selfie of the two with Prince William and his and wife Kate Middleton's eldest kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage at the singer's Eras tour show at Wembley Stadium in London.

While attending his seventh Eras tour concert, and second show at London's Wembley Stadium, the NFL star joined his girlfriend onstage as a backup performer during her performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."

Taylor joined Travis for the Chief's first game of the regular 2024-25 season and appeared to re-enact a PDA moment from October 2023 in this photo shared by Chariah Gordon, who is pictured with her boyfriend, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman.

The two attended model Karen Elson's wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster in New York City.

The next day, the pair attended the men's singles final match at the U.S. Open.

The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.
