Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce enjoy pre-Super Bowl double date with Patrick, Brittany Mahomes
Shortly after touching down in New Orleans on Friday ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoyed a pregame double date with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.
The couples were spotted ducking into the small French restaurant Lilette in the city's Uptown area, as seen in video obtained by Fox 8 New Orleans.
Swift got dolled up in a black lace minidress with her signature red lip, while Brittany Mahomes, a newly minted mom of three, wore a long Chiefs red jacket with matching boots.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs stars went far more casual. Tight end Kelce sported a slate gray tracksuit with sneakers, while quarterback Mahomes wore a backward baseball cap and a black jacket over a graphic tee.
News of their presence at the restaurant quickly spread around town, as fans were seen swarming the foursome, screaming and snapping photos, as they exited the eatery.
The sighting came less than 48 hours before the reigning Super Bowl champs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, hoping to make history with a three-peat win.
Earlier in the day, reports made the rounds that the 'Cruel Summer' singer had not invited bestie Blake Lively to join her in her star-studded Super Bowl suite, as she has in the past. According to insiders, Swift is attempting to distance herself from Lively amid the latter's ongoing legal feud with Justin Baldoni, her director and co-star in 'It Ends With Us.'
Lively filed a lawsuit late last year accusing 41-year-old Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set as well as a retaliatory smear campaign. Weeks later, Baldoni countersued with a $400 million lawsuit accusing Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane of defamation and civil extortion.
Among the many allegations in his filing, Baldoni claims Lively leveraged Swift's celebrity status in an effort to intimidate him into letting her steamroll production. Text messages included in the suit show Lively referred to the Grammy winner as one of her 'dragons,' interpreted by Baldoni to be a veiled threat that she'd unleash Swift's star power if he didn't give in to her demands.
Sources told TMZ this week that Swift was baffled by the characterization and felt manipulated by her longtime friend. Insiders also claim that since getting pulled into the legal drama, Swift has found out about other times Lively has inappropriately dropped her name.
While Lively is said to have apologized, with sources claiming the pals are still as close as ever, forgiveness has reportedly not been so swift for the popstar.

The Best Bob Hairstyles for Every Hair Type and Texture in 2025
Thinking about going for the big chop? Whether you've got thick waves, baby-fine strands, coils that bounce, or stick-straight hair that will not quit, there's a bob out there made for you. Because the bob isn't just a haircut—it's a whole vibe. Chic, edgy, classy, cool-girl… she can do it all. But let's be real, not all bobs are created equal. The key to nailing that "just left the salon and feel like a whole new person" energy is choosing the right cut for your hair type. And lucky for you, we've done the research, speaking to some of the beauty industry's most knowledgeable hair experts—Tom Smith and Jordanna Cobella—who shared their tricks for finding your very own perfect bob. From blunt micro bobs to shaggy, layered cuts, we've rounded up the ultimate inspo and stylist-approved tips for every texture and thickness. Ready to meet your new signature cut? Let's bob and weave, bb. "Straight hair lends itself to classic, sharp bobs easily," says Tom Smith, Cosmopolitan contributing hair expert. "Sleek straight styles work well with minimal daily effort, but if you want a choppy or voluminous bob, bear in mind you'll need to style waves and movement into your hair." Tom's pro tip: If your hair is fine and straight, the tucked bob style, where one side is tucked behind the ear, is a great way to increase the illusion of thickness. Wavy hair types work great with bobs that are designed to be worn with movement. Tom says, "Anything flipped over or where flicks or texture is desired will be easier to achieve here." This includes the French bob, bottleneck bob, Italian bob, and bell-bottom bob. Jordanna Cobella, Cosmopolitan Contributing Hair Expert, also adds that introducing some front pieces can also help type 2 hair bounce. "Just be sure to cut it longer than anticipated to account for the bounce, as when dry, it will sit shorter than the wet length," she says. Jordanna's pro tip: Use a curl cream to enhance type 2 waves. The Wella Professionals Nutricurls Curlixir Balm is a firm favorite. But remember: Depending on your curl pattern, you may need to cocktail a curling balm and a mousse or a cream. Apply when wet and avoid brushing; simply scrunch dry upside down and air dry or use a diffuser for extra lift and curl. Curly hair lends itself to curved and rounded bob shapes. In particular, Tom says that "bob-shag hybrids can work really well thanks to the natural curvaceous quality curls have." Confirming this, Jordanna says that it's the layered, textured aspects of these cuts that bring the curls to life. Jordanna's pro tip: Embrace the triangular shape that curly bobs sometimes fall into, as it gives width and is flattering. Styling-wise, the same rules apply to wavy (see above), but product choice is key. You may have to vary the products in the different parts of your hair; the front generally has tighter curls, whereas the roots and top part of the hair tend to be more frizzy. So, with that in mind, a stronger curl cream is essential. Coily hair textures are best suited to sculptural, shapely bobs. "Side partings can really help to allow textured hair to be stretched out into a shape which feels more 'bob' like," Tom says, while Jordanna adds that a tapered bob is the way to go. "The key is to cut it dry in its natural state for the true account on the shape it will take," she says. Jordanna's pro tip: When it comes to styling a coily bob, hydration is key; make sure your shampoo and conditioner are curly hair friendly, as some can be quite drying. Utilize a leave-in conditioner and oil for twist-outs or finger coils, and for a more defined curl, use curling balms or creams. The great thing about a bob haircut is that there are so many interpretations and adaptations (if you hadn't already gathered!). There's something to suit every hair type, as well as hair texture and density. Tom breaks down his advice for the best bob depending on your hair texture, below: Sharp laser-cut bobs help to build density in thin hair types. The blunt cut clusters the hair together and creates weight and the illusion of thickness at the ends. Long layered bobs reduce bulk in thick hair but maintain the short shape. Unlike thinning hair, fine hair types are suited to a textured, choppy chin-length bob. This style adds volume, body, and movement. High-density hair refers to a large number of hair strands per square inch on the scalp, so even if you have fine strands, you may have a lot of them. This means you have high-density hair. For those with this hair texture, a hidden layering lob is a great option. The longer bob style is defined by subtle layers to add texture without being visible and blunt ends. (Read: Ghost layers). An a-line bob (longer at the front, shorter in the back) with invisible layering gives structure to those with frizz-prone hair, all without puff. Victoria Beckham's iconic look is a great example of this cut. What are the 4 different hair types? According to the hair-typing system, there are four main groups of hair. Here's the basic rundown of the categories: Each category also has three a, b, and c subcategories (for example: 3a, 3b, 3c, or 4a, 4b, 4c) that break down each hair type even further. Tom Smith is a renowned hairstylist and trend forecaster known for his innovative eye and detailed understanding of global beauty movements.
