**Travis Kelce Details His Bye Week in New York City**

During today’s episode of *New Heights*, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce shared how he spent his 2024 bye week in New York City. While he refrained from explicitly mentioning his fiancée Taylor Swift, fans won’t have to wonder for long—Kelce was photographed on dates with Swift on both Wednesday and Thursday nights last week.

Kelce began by saying, “I got out of the house a little bit, I went over to New York. I just hung out there, put the feet up, saw some cool places, ate some great food, and got to feel the big city in its electricity and buzz that it’s always got.”

He added, “Yeah, it’s my favorite time as the seasons are changing to be around the Midwest and the Northeast. But yeah, it was pretty fun.”

During his trip, Kelce visited Puffy’s Tavern, where he was photographed without Swift, and “met some friends.” He described the experience as “cool to just kinda vibe around the city like that.”

“I think it’s one of my favorite things to do in New York, it’s just be one with the city and just kinda walk the streets and feel the electricity, feeling everybody doing their own shit and meeting a few new people along the way,” he said.

Kelce also revealed his fondness for people watching: “People watching is one of my favorite things to do. That’s another reason why I love New York: I love to people-watch. You’ll see people doing some wild shit.”

This wasn’t Kelce’s first time spending his bye week in New York City with Swift. The couple previously attended a Yankees game together. However, this year, they have kept their relationship more private. Swift has flown under the radar at Kelce’s football games, avoiding being photographed arriving at the stadium throughout the season.

On October 28, a source told *Us Weekly* that the couple was seeking this privacy because the attention Swift attracted at Kelce’s sports events was “getting too excessive.” The insider added that the couple is actively planning their wedding in private, hoping for a ceremony next summer.

“Everything is coming along,” the source explained. “They are both very involved, and Taylor thinks it’s cute that Travis wants to help.”

The insider also shared that the couple doesn’t want a long engagement, saying, “[They] very much want to start a family in the next year or so. Family means everything to them.”
