Travis Kelce is enjoying a week off from football, which means he’s free to hold with no penalties … and he’s taking full advantage … holding on tight to Taylor Swift on their way in to a romantic dinner.

The “Wood” singer and her NFL star fiancé hit up The Polo Bar in New York City on Wednesday night for a dinner date, and they locked hands as they walked past a sea of paparazzi.

Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs are on their bye week, so he’s got free time to spend with his bride-to-be … and they are spending some of those previous hours in the Big Apple.

On Travis’ podcast, Taylor talked about all the football knowledge she’s accumulated since she started dating the 3-time Super Bowl champ … so ya gotta figure she knows holding is a 10-yard penalty on the gridiron. Don’t get any bad habits, Travis.
