Taylor Swift embraces fall style in Gucci sweater and platform penny loafers ... trends now

Taylor Swift exuded fall vibes as she stepped out for dinner at Minetta Tavern in New York on Friday.

The Bad Blood hitmaker, 33, looked effortlessly chic in a brown Gucci sweater, dark flared pants, and trendy penny loafers with a chunky block heel, as she headed in to the French eatery. 

The 12-time Grammy winner accessorized her outfit with a matching brown purse. Slung across her arm was a brown blazer, in case the weather got chilly later on.

The superstar wore her blonde tresses in a straight style for the occasion, and rocked her signature red lipstick.

Not present was her NFL beau, Travis Kelce, 34, who was asked earlier during a press conference whether he was 'in love' with Swift, and answered by saying he wanted to keep his 'personal relationship personal.'

Kelce patiently deflected three questions about Swift at a conference in Frankfurt, ahead of Sunday's powder keg match against the Miami Dolphins.

While Kelce and team are almost 5,000 miles from Arrowhead, the interrogation about his relationship with the singer continued unabashed.

The first saw the tight end – who has recorded an NFL record seven straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons – asked if he felt like a better player when Swift was in the stands

'I think it's pretty much a coincidence. I've had some pretty big games in my career,' Kelce said.

The second was a two-parter: What is the latest status and are you in love?

'The latest status is I got to see her last week. That's the latest status right there,' Kelce said. 'I'm gonna keep my personal relationship personal.'

And finally: will Swift be at the game, given she will be performing in Buenos Aires on Thursday?

'You know what… I think when I mention or everybody knows that she's at the game the over/under on my catches kind of goes up and down,' Kelce said.

'The spread goes up and down. So you know I don't want to mess with any of that stuff. So I'm just gonna keep it to myself.'
