- Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift sparked romance rumors at a Chiefs game, breaking the internet.
- After the game, they reportedly bought out a restaurant in Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza.
- As a Kansas City native, I wish they had chosen a different spot for post-game drinks.
You’re likely aware by now that Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop star Taylor Swift appear to be dating — or, at the very least, extremely committed to fueling romance rumors.
Swift made an appearance at Arrowhead Stadium for a Chiefs game in Kansas City on Sunday, and was pictured sitting next to Kelce’s mom Donna in a suite, cheering for her rumored beau during the game, and later walking out of the stadium with Kelce before the two literally rode off into the sunset.
Their next stop (after an apparent outfit change for Taylor) was reportedly Prime Social Rooftop (a buzzy restaurant in Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza neighborhood), which Kelce subsequently rented out for Swift, his family, and his teammates, per Entertainment Tonight.
I grew up in Kansas City, and I have to admit, I raised my eyebrows at Kelce’s choice of a date night spot. (I assume Taylor, not being a Kansas City native, wasn’t responsible for picking the venue.) Based on the menu and social media for the restaurant, it immediately read to me as a scene-y, “see and be seen” type of establishment. The rooftop, admittedly, seems nice, but that was about the only thing that stood out to me.
And when I polled my parents, who’ve lived in Kansas City for decades, they didn’t seem too convinced of Prime Social’s appeal, either. (Both wanted me to note, though, that they realize they’re “old” and probably not the target clientele for the trendy new cocktail lounge.)
As my dad, a lifelong Kansas Citian pointed out, at least they didn’t go somewhere in Kansas. In case you’re not aware, there’s a bit of a rivalry between folks from Kansas City, Missouri, like my dad, and folks from the Kansas side of the city.

To be fair, I haven’t been to Prime Social, and I don’t want to discourage anyone from enjoying themselves there — especially Kelce, who’s become one of my favorite Chiefs players over the past few seasons.
But as a native of Kansas City, trust me when I say that there are much better spots in the city for eating, drinking, and dancing. For instance, Kelce could have rented out one of Kansas City’s amazing barbecue restaurants if he, Swift, and their companions wanted to enjoy some ribs and burnt ends. He could have shown her some of the city’s best jazz at
