Taylor Swift buys out 'entire restaurant' for date night
Later that night, a fan of Swift shared a video on TikTok claiming that the singer had bought out an entire restaurant for her date with Kelce.
Molly (@1989vinyl) said she got a call from her friend who was dining at the same restaurant when Swift arrived.
“I just got a call from a friend and Taylor is going to a place, and she just paid for everybody at the restaurant so that they would leave,” Molly said in an earlier post she deleted.
“They were eating and the waitress came up and said: ‘Here’s the deal, everything is paid for but you have to have to leave, like right now,’” she added.
Molly also said that some of the other Chiefs players had joined Swift and Kelce at the restaurant.
In an updated video, Molly said she had "lot more details" after speaking to her friends.
"Not sure if it was Taylor or Travis but one of them rented our a rooftop and they did have a reservation," where Molly's two friends happened to be.
She added, "The restaurant stopped taking reservations after a certain time which is so that they can clear the place and have it for them."
"The people who were still there when the reservation was coming up had their meals paid for by Taylor."
She said her earlier post had been "misconstrued" and reserving the place in restaurants was not "uncommon."
@1989vinyl Here is the update on Taylor and Travis, who I will pretend bonded over my mustard story. Everyone left the restaurant happy. I’ve seen posts about it from other people there and some people have messaged me too. They rented it out, other players came, and they had a reservation. #swiftie #taylorswift #traviskelceandtaylorswift #traviskelce #kansascitychiefs #taylorswiftandtraviskelce #arrowheadstadium ♬ original sound - Molly
