Taylor Swift reportedly found a way to celebrate her boyfriend Travis Kelce's late birthday.

After missing the Kansas City Chief tight end's 35th birthday bash on Saturday, Oct. 5, the pop star reportedly threw her beau a surprise birthday dinner the next day .

According to a source who spoke to Page Six, Swift and her father, Scott, treated Kelce and his family—along with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes—to dinner at Noka, an extremely popular sushi restaurant.

The insider told the publication the dinner was an "intimate affair" and was a "very early night, since the Kansas City Chiefs played the New Orleans Saints" the following day in a Monday Night Football showoff.

After missing two back-to-back Kansas City Chiefs games, Swift was in attendance on Monday night, cheering her beau on as his team went on to defeat the New Orleans Saints and maintain their perfect (to date) season.

For her return to the NFL stands, Swift wore a chic, fall-ready off-the-shoulder plaid matching set by Vivienne Westwood. The pieces, styled by Joseph Cassell Falconer, almost resembled a mini dress from afar.

To complete the MNF look, Swift wore glitter freckles and rocked a gold Chiefs manicure.

While Swift has been rehearsing for the final leg of her "Eras Tour" concerts, scheduled to kick off later this month, she managed to find some time to enjoy a New York City night out with Kelce during his bye week.

On Friday, Oct. 11, Swift and Kelce were spotted in SoHo enjoying a double date with BFF couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. For the night out, Swift wore a lace Gucci corset with a sheer effect created from lace over a skin-tone fabric, paired with a matching leather mini skirt.

The arguably most famous couple on the planet certainly have a busy schedule, but have found a way to continuously prioritize their relationship. Jayla Thornton-Cook, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs safety Bryan Cook, recently opened up about the pair and how they maintain a work-life balance as romantic partners.

"I feel like it's beautiful," she told People in a recent interview. "It all is a work-life balance and everybody's going through different things. So just for them to acknowledge how hard it is to manage relationships and just deal with everything.”
