Date weekend continues for Taylor Swift and Charles LangstonTravis Kelce as the two are spotted at the U.S. Open men's final match between American Taylor Fritz and Italian Jannik Sinner.

The couple arrived hand-in-hand at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. Swift wore a red and white gingham dress with caramel pumps while Kelce sported a red, light brown and green Gucci bucket hat and a stripe-trimmed white cardigan over a matching polo shirt and shorts.

The Sunday match is the first time in 18 years that an American has made it to the finals since 2006, when Andy Roddick competed.

Immediately following Thursday's Kansas City Chiefs game against the Baltimore Ravens, the two flew to New York City. To start the weekend festivities on Friday, Kelce and Swift attended Lucali, a pizza spot in Brooklyn. Swift dressed in a black blazer and sheer top and clasped Kelce's hand as they walked in. The restaurant crowd grew quiet as they watched the couple enter the pizzeria. Word traveled fast and a crowd formed outside while Swift and Kelce enjoyed dinner.
