They were seen driving off into the proverbial sunset together in his 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible Sunday after the Chiefs game.

So just where did pop star Taylor Swift and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce enjoy their first outing together in Kansas City?

They went to Prime Social Rooftop on the Country Club Plaza, according to several social media accounts and anonymous sources who spoke to ET entertainment news outlet.

And apparently they had company.

Travis bought out the restaurant for his family and team,” a source told ET. “Taylor arrived, wearing a denim dress, and was seen snacking, having some cocktails and dancing alongside Travis.

“The two were very affectionate with one another but kept things fun and light-hearted. Travis’ teammates also showed up to the after-party, as well as his mom, Donna Kelce. The party lasted until 2 a.m.”

The Star tried calling the restaurant Monday morning, but it doesn’t open until 4 p.m.

Around 2 a.m. Monday, Brittany Mahomes, co-owner of the KC Current and wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, shared a post on her Instagram Stories that suggested she and other Chiefs wives were at the party, too.

It showed three people toasting with frothy pink cocktails. One tag belonged to Lindsay Bell, wife of Kelce’s fellow Chiefs tight end Blake Bell.

Early Monday morning Brittany Mahomes shared a post that suggested she and other Kansas City Chiefs wives were at an after-party with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

A prime location

Some restaurant patrons reported on social media that Swift had paid for their drinks. She has done it before.

Earlier this month, The Eras Tour account on X, formerly Twitter, reported that Swift had visited a restaurant in Mexico “where she covered the bill for all the customers during her visit!”

“Thanks @Taylorswift for picking up the tab,” Instagram user Ethan Lestrud posted Sunday evening with a photo of himself and two women holding cocktails.

He did not identify his location, but eagle-eyed Swifties hunting for Swift’s whereabouts recognized it as Prime Social, a rooftop cocktail lounge at 4622 Pennsylvania Ave.

The establishment, where Chiefs fans have seen Kelce before, has upscale attire guidelines: “polished” clothing requested, anything “emitting excessive marijuana odor” discouraged.

TikTok user @1989vinyl’s account of the night had earned more than 166,000 likes and nearly 2,000 comments by the first hours of Monday morning, but has since been removed.

She excitedly reported Sunday night that she had just gotten a call from a friend “and Taylor is going to a place and she just paid for everybody in the restaurant so that they would leave.

“They were eating and the waitress came up to them and said, ‘Here’s the deal, everything’s paid for but you have to leave like right now.’ How frickin’ insane is this?

“Oh and of course she’s with Travis Kelce.”

On X, Brittni Kingston posted a similar account.

“I’m here to report that I have an acquaintance who was kicked out of prime social just before 8 pm for a private party and they needed to secure the perimeter before the party’s arrival,” she wrote.

“Then the parking lot attendant confirmed Taylor came in the building.”

ET’s anonymous source, who was reportedly at the restaurant Sunday for a friend’s birthday party, said the restaurant had informed them of a “hard close” at 8 p.m.

The source said restaurant staff brought to-go boxes around to diners as 8 p.m. drew near, telling them they had to go. The staff offered free drinks at Prime Social’s sister restaurant in the same building, but wouldn’t “confirm or deny” that the place was being cleared to make way for the Swift-Kelce entourage.

Not a first date?

That actually might not have been the first time Swift and Kelce enjoyed a fancy night out together.

Paparrazi photos from July 19 showed Kelce outside the members-only club Zero Bond in New York City, one of Swift’s go-to places there.

It’s unclear if she was in the city that day. But her presence at the Chiefs game Sunday connected a lot of dots for Swifties who are trying to guess whether a relationship is blooming. (So maybe Kelce recently taking his John Mayer T-shirt out of the closet and wearing it on his podcast was a clue after all. Mayer is a Swift ex.)

People magazine published one of the photos of Kelce in NYC with this caption: “Travis Kelce strikes a pose and smiles big for the camera while at the private New York City club, Zero Bond, on July 19.”

The Daily Mail highlighted the “A-lister hotspot with a $5,000 annual fee, $10 million of art and even a library.”

Prime Social has become a Kansas City hotspot, too, known for a romantic rooftop view of the city and sophisticated cocktails such as the Smoked Old Fashioned with Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Whiskey, mesquite smoke and a bourbon maple infusion.

The restaurant also serves specialty Chiefs cocktails, decorated with the words “Go Chiefs!” and images of Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.

Sunday happened to be the 12th anniversary of Swift’s concert at Arrowhead on her “Speak Now” world tour in 2011.

Was it prophetic?

The first song she sang that night: “Sparks Fly.”
