Taylor Swift’s gearing up to root on Travis Kelce for the second week in a row, but not before grabbing dinner with some famous gal pals … stepping out with Sophie Turner, Brittany Mahomes, and Blake Lively.
Taylor and crew hit Italian hotspot Emilio’s Ballato in NYC Saturday night — arriving with Blake and later joined by Sophie and Mahomes … who she recently got acquainted with last weekend following Kansas City’s win at home.
Of course, Taylor’s been spending a lot of time with Sophie as of late, noticeably taking her side in a battle with Joe Jonas as they fight for custody and issues surrounding their divorce.
Blake’s a longtime friend of Taylor, but Mahomes is certainly a new addition to the girl squad.
TMZ broke the story … Taylor and Brittany hit it off at Travis Kelce’s afterparty in KC last weekend, chatting a bunch and at one time taking a shot together. We were also first to obtain a photo of Taylor and Travis looking rather comfortable at the bash … as she wrapped her arms around the NFL superstar.
Travis and his Kansas City Chiefs are set to take on The New York Jets Sunday night, and sources tell us Taylor will be in attendance.
Nothing like a good meal — and good gossip — before the big game.
Taylor Swift is making some new friends around the NFL amid her rumored romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift, 33, was seen hanging out with Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, inside a suite at MetLife Stadium as the Chiefs and Jets played on Sunday.
Brittany, 28, wore a black top and red pants for the game as Swift went with tall black boots and bejeweled denim shorts.
Several of Swift’s famous friends we spotted at the game with the “Karma” singer, including Sabrina Carpenter, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner, Shawn Levy and Antoni Porowski.
On Saturday, Brittany joined Swift, Lively, 36, Turner, 27, for dinner in New York City.
The group dined at the Italian restaurant Emilio’s Ballato on Saturday and sat in a back room of the restaurant for over four hours, with Brittany staying till 1 a.m. local time, while Swift left shortly after around 1:30 a.m.
Swift attended her first Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 24, and left with Kelce in his 1970 Chevelle 408 Stroker after the Kansas City win over the Chicago Bears. The superstar songstress watched the game with her rumored beau’s mom, Donna Kelce.
Patrick, 28, was among the family and friends who joined Swift and Kelce at a local restaurant. “Yeah, I met her,” Mahomes told reporters. “She’s really cool, good people.”
The superstar quarterback (and one of Kelce’s best friends) then reiterated the tight end’s plans to keep the rumored romance private.
“But like Trav said, man, I’m going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving,” Mahomes added, referring to Kelce’s comments on Wednesday about the future of his and Swift’s relationship.
Immediately following the game, Mahomes said he hadn’t met Swift yet but had been informed “at the last minute” by Kelce that she’d be in attendance before the game kicked off.
“There’s things with Trav where he kind of just says it and you don’t know if it’s true or not,” the Chiefs quarterback said after last week’s game, according to KCTV5’s Jared Koller. “It was like Friday and he was just like, ‘Oh yeah, I think she’s coming to the game.’ ”
On his weekly podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment this past Wednesday, Kelce made his first public comments about the rumored relationship with Swift, saying, “I’m enjoying life and I sure as hell enjoyed this weekend.”

“Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy,” Kelce said as he talked to his brother and co-host, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, about how he felt having the singer in his suite during the “exciting game.”
“I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her — the friends and family. She looked amazing and everybody was talking about her in great light,” he said.
