**Today Show Host Sight Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at US Open Final**
Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, and Jenna Bush Hager of the “Today” show were ostensibly at the US Open men’s final to watch tennis, but their attention was also captured by a notable celebrity duo: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
“Gotta root for Taylor!!!! Fun Sunday with my girls @savannahguthrie @jennabhager,” Kotb, 60, shared on Instagram on Sunday, September 8, along with various snapshots from their visit. One of the pictures featured Swift, 34, and Kelce, also 34, watching from the stands.
During their behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium, Guthrie, 52, and Kotb humorously hinted at their true reason for attending. “We’re with Taylor,” Guthrie whispered during the match, zooming in on Swift and Kelce before redirecting the camera to tennis player Taylor Fritz, playing against Jannik Sinner.
“Fritz. Taylor Fritz!
The player,” she clarified, while Kotb laughed and pointed to the tennis court.
Sharing their experience, Guthrie and Kotb captioned their joint Instagram post with, “Rooting for Taylor obviously @usopen @usta.”
Guthrie also shared a touching text from her daughter, Vale, who said, “Tell her I wrote her a fan letter, and she is the best singer in the world.”
Bush Hager, 42, joined the fun by posting photos of the trio from the “Today” show, all smiling as they enjoyed the match. “Rooting for @taylor_fritz (and Taylor!)
❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🎤 @savannahguthrie @hodakotb,” she captioned her Instagram post. (Fritz, 26, was defeated by Sinner, 23, on Sunday.)
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline: From Chiefs Games to Private Date Nights
Swift and Kelce also attended the NYC tennis tournament with Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes, and his wife, Brittany Mahomes.
Swift donned a red gingham sundress coordinated with her iconic red lipstick, while Kelce wore a white polo, cardigan, and bucket hat—all pieces harmonizing with his girlfriend’s outfit.
This latest appearance followed their attendance at the wedding of model Karen Elson and art curator Lee Foster in NYC, which took place at Electric Lady Studios—where Swift has recorded numerous hits. Kelce was seen holding Swift’s hand as they entered the venue together.
Swift and Kelce have been a couple since summer 2023, making their public debut in September when Swift attended a Chiefs game. Since then, they’ve consistently supported each other’s professional endeavors, with Swift cheering from NFL stands and Kelce traveling globally to watch her “Eras Tour” performances.
“They’re so in love,” a source disclosed in the latest issue of Us Weekly, adding that “friends hope an engagement is in their future.”
