Pop superstar Taylor Swift is set to dazzle fans and foodies alike at the grand opening of 1587 Prime, the highly anticipated steakhouse venture by Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. The event, slated for this summer at the Loews Kansas City Hotel, promises to be a star-studded affair, with Swift hinting at an “unexpected move” that has sparked fervent speculation among her devoted Swifties and Chiefs fans.
The steakhouse, named after the jersey numbers of Kelce (87) and Mahomes (15), is a collaboration with hospitality group Noble 33. Spanning 10,000 square feet across two floors, 1587 Prime will feature Chiefs-themed decor, multiple private dining rooms, a world-class chef’s kitchen, and a stunning meat display. Kelce and Mahomes have emphasized their goal to create an inclusive dining experience, with Mahomes stating, “We don’t want to make it too upscale… we’re gonna make it a place where Kansas City can call it home.” The restaurant aims to blend culinary excellence with the city’s passion for football and food, making it a fitting backdrop for Swift’s appearance.
Swift, who has been dating Kelce since mid-2023, has been a visible supporter of the Chiefs, attending games and even influencing Kelce’s style choices, as Mahomes humorously noted when crediting her for Kelce’s longer hairstyle. Her involvement in the grand opening has generated buzz, especially after she teased a surprise for attendees. While details remain under wraps, sources close to the event suggest Swift’s “unexpected move” could range from a live acoustic performance to a charitable initiative tied to the restaurant’s launch. “Taylor loves to create memorable moments,” an insider shared. “She’s planning something that will resonate with both her fans and the Kansas City community.”
The grand opening is expected to draw a mix of celebrities, athletes, and local dignitaries, with the Chiefs-themed ambiance adding a unique flair. Renderings of the restaurant showcase sleek interiors with nods to the team’s legacy, including memorabilia and subtle tributes to Kelce and Mahomes’ on-field chemistry. The menu, while not fully revealed, promises premium cuts of steak, innovative sides, and a nod to Kansas City’s barbecue heritage, aligning with the city’s culinary identity.
Swift’s appearance is a testament to her deepening ties to Kansas City, where she has been embraced by fans for her support of Kelce and the Chiefs. Her presence at the opening is also seen as a boost for the restaurant’s profile, with social media already abuzz with excitement. Posts on X have speculated about Swift performing a new song inspired by her relationship with Kelce or even announcing a community-focused project, given her history of philanthropy.
Kelce and Mahomes, known for their camaraderie, have expressed enthusiasm for the venture. “Travis and I have become frequent visitors of Noble 33 restaurants in other cities, so it only made sense to bring something special to our own community,” Mahomes said in a statement. Kelce echoed the sentiment, calling the project a “one-of-a-kind dining experience” for Kansas City.
As the summer opening approaches, anticipation continues to build for 1587 Prime and Swift’s surprise. Whether it’s a musical moment, a heartfelt gesture, or something entirely unexpected, Swift’s involvement ensures the event will be a landmark celebration for Kansas City. Fans eager to catch a glimpse of the star and the steakhouse can expect a night of glamour, community spirit, and, in true Swift fashion, a touch of magic.
