Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romantic date-night order is REVEALED as they unwind in Florida
and her boyfriend Travis Kelce went all out for their romantic meal in Florida over the weekend. The lovebirds had enjoyed an intimate meal at Harry's Bar & Restaurant in West Palm Beach and their lavish menu has been revealed. Eyewitnesses at the restaurant told TMZ on Sunday that the singer and the NFL star, both 35, started off their evening with cocktails before working their way through dishes that included pasta, seafood and steak. The star couple kicked off their dinner with colorful aperitifs. Taylor opted for the Malena, a specialty cocktail of Harry's, which was made with Wheatley vodka, passion fruit, and some organic vanilla, before being topped off with ice and bubbles, according to the menu. Travis opted for the Purple Rain, which was made with a base of Hendricks Oasium gin, along with green tea, some citrus, and then creme de violette to give it a distinct purple tint. The cocktail was then shaken and topped with bubbles. Food-wise Taylor and Travis had hearty appetites choosing a range of different dishes. They reportedly began with an endive salad, then ordered a variety of entrees, including a creamy cacio e pepe pasta, lobster risotto, and a burger featuring a dry-aged beef patty. They opted for some more-opulent beef with an 8oz filet mignon with luscious Wagyu-style beef sourced from Australia. They also added in leaner protein with some fish in the form of Dover sole. The A-list couple rounded out the feast with some vegetable sides including garlic broccolini and potato puree. According to the sources, Taylor was focused on the Dover sole, though she also had a bit of the lobster risotto. Travis seemed to be famished, as he allegedly wolfed down the filet and burger, while eating part of the pasta. The rest of the dishes were apparently split between the lovebirds. The couple were said to have spent just under $400, though it wasn't specified if that include the tip or not. Notably, it wasn't the billionaire singer or her boyfriend - who's massively wealthy in his own right - who paid the tab. Instead, Taylor and Travis reportedly let their security detail take care of the bill. As reported by TMZ, the couple left Harry's hand in hand around 10pm with security flanking them on both sides. Taylor looked upbeat despite being dragged into the bitter legal war between her old pal Blake and her co-star Justin Baldoni. A bombshell legal letter earlier this month revealed the explosive alleged 'threats' that are believed to have shattered Blake and Taylor's 10-year friendship. The court letter, submitted by Justin's legal team amid his dispute with Blake, claimed the actress tried to coerce Taylor into siding with her publicly by threatening to leak years' worth of their private text messages.

10 of the most romantic city breaks in Europe
What are the key ingredients for a romantic city break? Perhaps it's a profusion of cute canals and medieval architecture, or maybe the secret to a loved-up weekend is top-drawer food and wine paired with strollable quarters. Whatever your criteria, you should find some European weekender inspiration here. This list includes the classics — we couldn't leave out Paris, of course — as well as some lesser-visited options. We've limited it to one per country in the spirit of fairness, and included the southerly likes of Seville and Valletta for couples seeking early-spring or late-autumn warmth. These are the European cities you'll fall in love with. This article contains affiliate links, which may earn us revenue Who can resist the glorious, fairytale absurdity of a floating city? Relentlessly attractive, Venice is best admired from the water — but swerve a gondola. Instead of the fabricated 'culture' of a costumed man quavering out O Sole Mio for £70, board a vaporetto boat-bus early at Piazzale Roma, ensuring you're one of the first aboard in order to bag front-row seats, and relish box-office views of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge for about £8. Later, as lamplight dances on canals, wavelets wash against 15th-century palazzos and footsteps echo on dinky bridges, stroll hand in hand towards some top-notch tiramisu in the waterside Osteria Fanal del Codega restaurant. And don't forget to raise a glass to your beloved at the lauded Harry's Bar, home of the OG bellini. On the Grand Canal and largely populated by couples, Hotel L'Orologio Venice has a chic bar with sink-in leather armchairs. Fancy seeing more? Princess Cruises' ten-day Mediterranean with Greek Isles & Adriatic cruise stops at Trieste for excursions to Venice during its circuit of the eastern Mediterranean. • More great hotels in Venice• Best affordable hotels in Venice Sure, you could aim to ascend Montmartre's steps to the Sacré-Coeur, scale the Eiffel Tower, cruise the Seine, attend the Moulin Rouge and gaze at the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. All have their merits. But a far better tack for City of Love-bound couples involves ditching the overambitious to-do list and simply sauntering, aimlessly, around one of its more villagey districts. The artsy Latin Quarter and snug, boutique-filled Marais fit the bill. Perhaps you'll pause to peruse markets for cheese, or to share some frites at a pavement café. Dinner à deux in Paris, meanwhile, should be in a vintage bistro — the sort where garlic strings hang down above a zinc-topped bar as everyone chatters noisily. Up in well-to-do Montmartre, the longstanding Terrass Hôtel is named after its headline attraction: a seventh-floor roof terrace offering wonderful views. The flight-free specialist Byway can arrange trips to Paris on Eurostar, stopping in Lille on the return leg. • More great hotels in Paris• Insider's guide to the best neighbourhoods in Paris Two things enhance the warm limestone of Malta's compact capital: a profusion of pastel-painted gallariji (closed wooden balconies) along many narrow lanes, and the regular lashings of sunshine that this southerly part of the Mediterranean enjoys from March to November. Mostly pedestrianised, Valletta is pleasingly easy to walk around; setting off from a trendy design hotel, partners might catch a recital at the Manoel theatre, one of Europe's oldest, visit a snug wine bar or watch sunset fall over the glinting Grand Harbour from a shaded, spritz-serving kiosk in the Upper Barrakka Gardens. An old merchant's residence turned hip, 20-room haunt, the Saint John is one of those cool boutique hotels you'll want to keep all to yourself. On a ship designed to tickle Brits' taste buds, P&O Cruises' Mediterranean circuit starts and finishes in Valletta. • More great hotels in Valletta• The best of MaltaThe City of a Hundred Spires seduces in all seasons: open-air beer bars line the Vltava River's banks in summer, while autumn is the ideal time to wander along the waterway as the trees of Prague turn auburn shades. Winter's crisp light and occasional white coat renders sights like the astronomical clock especially spellbinding before spring sees bursts of flowers transform the Vltava — not least on the Czech Republic's well-celebrated Love Day (May 1). There are ample parks, gardens and green spaces to roam, including Petrin Hill, whose namesake, Eiffel-imitating tower comes with fine vistas over Prague Castle, Charles Bridge — itself best experienced at dawn, if possible, ahead of the hordes — and a riot of red-roofed buildings.

Also liable to precipitate passion are stops in opulent coffee houses such as Café Sacher for calorific slices of chocolatey sachertorte, and evening opera performances in the home of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Cooler cats may prefer Vienna's raft of rooftop bars or, when there's a full moon, to drift along the meandering Danube in a lantern-lit canoe (see There's a rooftop bar with far-reaching views and yoga kits in every bedroom at Jaz in the City.

It's lovely in autumn too, when the summer heat starts to wane. Seville's standout sight is the jewel-lined Alcazar palace complex, including a series of glorious walled gardens; meander around those in the morning, before other tourists arrive. Afternoons might be devoted to wandering around ancient Santa Cruz, a central barrio where the whitewashed houses are festooned with flowers, ahead of atmospheric flamenco shows at the intimate Casa de la Memoria, whose dancers and singers tell passionate tales of lifelong loves. Finish with an evening tapas-bar crawl, clinking glasses of fino sherry and trying some nutty, thinly sliced jamon. Fifteen minutes from the centre by bus, the Doña Carmela is affordable and lays on an outdoor pool with loungers. Seville, with a guided tapas tasting, features in Riviera Travel's Classical Spain group tour, which also visits the Andalusian cities of Granada, Cordoba and Ronda. • Best hotels in Seville• Discover our full guide to Seville Inside the Arctic Circle, and under four hours from London or Manchester on direct flights, island-set Tromso is, admittedly, freezing in winter: January typically sees averages of minus 4C. But it's also bewitching. A permanent backdrop of snowy mountains and glassy straits helps with that, as does the chance to undertake tandem, self-drive dogsled safaris or join killer and humpback whale-watching cruises along epic fjords. Northern lights displays peak at this time in the 'Paris of the North' too; it's often possible to see the aurora borealis from the 421m (1,381ft) mountain ledge Storsteinen. The Fjellheisen cable car goes up to its café, which serves excellent cinnamon buns.

The Aurora Zone can arrange private, northern lights-themed city breaks here with activities added on as you please. • Read our full guide to Norway• Best Norwegian fjords cruises Bruges might be the go-to Belgian city for romantic breaks, but Ghent is the savvier bet. It has an equally well-preserved historic centre, and a similar bevy of medieval waterways that enchant when illuminated at night. You'll also find the same boat tours, gables, gothic guildhalls, horse-and-cart rides and chocolate shops, plus a still-taller belfry that offers tremendous panoramas. But Ghent is additionally a little bit cooler than Bruges, possesses a stronger food scene and is far, far less crowded with tourists — enabling lovers to more easily enjoy private moments, including ones that might involve the lowering of a knee. As central as it gets, the luxurious 1898 The Post hotel occupies a former sorting office; its cocktail den is superb. Byway will tailor-make the rail-based trip you want, but suggests a jaunt to Ghent via Belgium's smaller, art-obsessed city of Kortrijk. • Best underrated cities to visit in Europe Dainty, blue-white azulejo tiles pepper Porto's hilly, small-sized centre, even decorating the fortress-like Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady's handsome cloisters. Below, a clump of colourful, 18th-century townhouses and small bars — serving classic Portuguese petiscos (small plates) such as grilled sardines or codfish cakes — announce Ribeira, a district whose narrow streets zigzag down to the Douro River. If you've got time, sail off up the river on a day cruise to idyllic terraced vineyards; if not, cross over to Cockburn's port cellars for tastings of the city's namesake fortified wine. Try also to inspect the beaux arts Sao Bento, one of Europe's saintliest train stations. Conveniently located in Porto's Boavista district, the HF Tuela hotel includes a restaurant serving regional cuisine. Riviera Travel has a river cruise that follows the Douro all the way to the Spanish border and back; three-day Porto extensions can also be booked. • More great hotels in Porto• The best of Portugal In most capitals, a statue on the main square depicts a military or political hero. Not so Ljubljana; here the love-declaring, sonnet-writing poet France Preseren is honoured. This adequately summarises the Slovenian city's soulful nature, one further seen in a series of picturesque bridges and embankments along its leafy Ljubljanica River — busy with bars and boats in summer — and via the Disneyesque castle towering grandly above. A funicular sends glass-walled carriages up to that. Adding to the mesmerism is a largely car-free centre replete with baroque façades and, if time allows, excursions to visit mountain-hugged Lake Bled and its photogenic island church.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romantic date-night order is REVEALED as they unwind amid Blake Lively drama
They were spotted trying to put the drama surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni behind them with an intimate date night in Florida over the weekend. And now the meal that Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce shared at Harry's Bar and Restaurant in West Palm Beach has been revealed. Eyewitnesses at the restaurant told TMZ on Sunday that the pop superstar and the NFL star, both 35, started their evening off with some cocktails to unwind. They claimed that Taylor opted to kick off the dinner with a Melena, Malena, a cocktail that appears to be a specialty of Harry's, which was made with Wheatley vodka, passion fruit, and some organic vanilla, before being topped off with ice and bubbles, according to Harry's menu. Travis opted for the Purple Rain, which was made with a base of Hendricks Oasium gin, along with green tea, some citrus, and then crème de violette to give it a distinct purple tint. The cocktail was then shaken and topped with bubbles. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. For the food, Taylor and Travis went all out, which shouldn't be surprising considering that Travis is probably used to eating a great deal to fuel his exploits on the football field. They reportedly began with an endive salad, then ordered a variety of entrees to sample, including a creamy Cacio e Pepe pasta, lobster risotto, and a burger featuring a dry-aged beef patty. They opted for some more-opulent beef with an 8oz filet mignon with luscious Wagyu-style beef sourced from Australia, and they added in a leaner meat with some fish in the form of Dover sole. The A-list couple rounded out the feast with some vegetable sides including garlic Broccolini and potato purée. According to the sources, Taylor was focused on the Dover sole, though she also had a bit of the lobster risotto. Travis seemed to be famished, as he allegedly wolfed down the filet and burger, while eating part of the past. The rest of the dishes were apparently split between the lovebirds. The couple were said to have spent just under $400, though it wasn't specified if that include the tip or not. However, the price of the dishes and cocktails listed on Harry's menu online, along with tip in the ballpark of 20 percent would come out to somewhere under $400. Notably, it wasn't the billionaire singer or her boyfriend — who's massively wealthy in his own right — who paid the tab. Instead, Taylor and Travis reportedly let their security detail take care of the bill. Taylor appeared a bit downcast during the date night with Travis in photos of the outing. They were spotted out as the Kansas City Chiefs star continues to hang in the Sunshine State ahead of offseason workouts with the team. A few days earlier, Travis and his father Ed were seen enjoying themselves in Boca Raton. Taylor's mind could have been elsewhere after being dragged into the bitter legal war between her old pal Lively and her It Ends With Us costar Baldoni. A bombshell legal letter earlier this month revealed the explosive alleged 'threats' that are believed to have shattered Blake and Taylor's 10-year friendship. The court letter, submitted by Baldoni's legal team amid his dispute with Lively, claimed the actress tried to coerce Swift into siding with her publicly by threatening to leak years' worth of their private text messages. The songstress fought back after she was dramatically subpoenaed in the case by Baldoni's legal team, only for that summoning to be withdrawn this week. As reported by TMZ, the couple left Harry's hand in hand around 10pm with security flaking them on both sides. Swift appeared to have a glass of white wine while Kelce is said to have sipped on a cocktail. She appeared in high spirits later in the evening, grinning widely as she ordered.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spotted at Harry's Bar and Restaurant in Florida, photos show
NFL star Travis Kelce and his global popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift were spotted May 23 while out to dinner at Harry's Bar and Restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida. Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently renting a multimillion-dollar mansion in Boca Raton for the summer not far from one of the gyms he frequents, Johnny O's Gymnasium. The "Florida!!!" singer has reportedly joined him, and the couple was previously seen at the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club in Palm Beach County. Fans snapped pictures and videos of the famous power couple as they dined at Harry's and as they left the restaurant. No, Travis Kelce does not own a home in Florida. However, he is currently spending the offseason in an estimated $20 million Boca Raton house, according to reports from Athlon Sports and the Daily Mail. According to Boca News Now, Kelce's world-famous Grammy-winning girlfriend Taylor Swift has joined him. The news outlet reported on Saturday, May 17, that it 'ignored rumors a few weeks ago that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were seen walking the streets of Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club with a security entourage.' Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted Friday, May 23, dining at Harry's Bar and Restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida. Kelce is currently staying in nearby Boca Raton for the NFL offseason, where Swift has reportedly joined him. A Wall Street-area institution, Harry's was founded by pioneering New York restaurateur Harry Poulakakos in 1972. Decades later, Harry's Restaurant Group, now led by son Peter Poulakakos, has opened not one but two restaurants in West Palm Beach, Florida. The swanky Harry's bar and restaurant and sibling Adrienne's Pizzabar account for some 11,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space at The Square, the restaurants' only presence outside of New York. Harry's made its debut here on June 6, 2023. Harry's is at 384 S. Rosemary Ave., West Palm Beach, 561-834-5010, Yes! Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are still together. The couple has kept a relatively low profile since Kelce's Super Bowl LIX loss, but they are 'still very much together,' sources told Us Weekly in April. Travis Kelce attended Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in July 2023 at the GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, his home stadium during the season. On his joint podcast "New Heights" with brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, he revealed he wanted to give Swift a friendship bracelet, a staple practice of her concerts, with his phone number on it. Months later, Swift went on to attend her first Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023. The relationship was publicly confirmed in October 2023, when Kelce and Swift were seen hand in hand arriving at a "Saturday Night Live" afterparty in New York City, New York. Celebrities have popped up at hot spots all over Palm Beach County. Here are a few: NBA legend Michael Jordan parties at Mary Lou's in West Palm Beach Gordon Ramsay at Benny's on The Beach in Lake Worth Beach Guy Fieri at Roccos Tacos in Boca Raton Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Wellington Wayne Gretzky and Sly Stallone at Pig Beach BBQ in West Palm Beach Contributing: Diamond Walker, Palm Beach Post This article originally appeared on Palm Beach Post: Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce in Florida at Harry's in West Palm Beach
