Travis Kelce celebrated his 35th birthday in style, hosting his second annual Kelce Car Jam charity event in Kansas City.
While the night was filled with family, friends, and his Chiefs teammates, there was one big name missing from the festivities—Taylor Swift.
Fans were eagerly hoping to see Swift show up in support of her rumored beau, but she decided to sit this one out, leading to plenty of speculation about her whereabouts.
Keep reading for more details!
Kelce’s Family and Chiefs Teammates in Attendance
Even though Swift wasn’t present, Kelce was surrounded by those closest to him.
His older brother, Jason Kelce, made it to the event, along with their parents, Ed and Donna Kelce, who are no strangers to the spotlight, especially after their memorable appearances during last year’s Super Bowl.
Several of Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs teammates were also there to support their star tight end, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive end George Karlaftis.
The night didn’t end with just the charity event—some of the Kelce family, along with Mahomes and his wife Brittany, continued the celebration with an afterparty at the Aristocrat Lounge.
Will Taylor Swift Show Up at the Next Chiefs Game?
Taylor Swift’s no-show at Kelce’s charity event has sparked even more buzz about whether she’ll be at the upcoming Chiefs game against the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium.
The game marks the Chiefs’ first home game since their Week 2 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals—a game that Swift did attend.
Swift’s support for the Chiefs earlier this season was hard to miss.
She was in the stands for the season opener, a thrilling win against the Baltimore Ravens, and ended up attending five of the first six Chiefs games.
However, she has skipped the last two games, both away matches, which has left some fans questioning if she’ll be back in Kansas City for this one.
Travis Kelce seems confident she will. In a recent interview, he hinted that Swift is planning to attend Monday’s game, much to the excitement of Chiefs fans.
Swift’s absence at the last couple of games has fueled an ongoing narrative about whether her relationship with Kelce is impacting his performance on the field.
Kelce hasn’t had the strongest start to his 2024 NFL season, and some critics have jumped to the conclusion that the superstar relationship might be a distraction.
However, insiders close to Swift quickly shut down these claims, calling them “misogynistic” and “absurd.”
A source said that it’s ridiculous to blame Swift for Kelce’s performance and that the two manage their relationship while still focusing on their respective careers.
“He loves her support but doesn’t expect her to be at every game, just as she wouldn’t expect him to be at every stop of her Eras tour,” the insider explained.
Swift’s Support Without Sideline Appearances
Fans should also note that Kelce and Swift are both at the top of their respective fields—Kelce being one of the NFL’s best tight ends, and Swift dominating the music world with her record-breaking Eras tour.
The idea that either would need to attend every event the other is involved in is simply unrealistic.
Sources also revealed that Swift has been proactive in helping Kelce stay in top shape, going so far as to help implement a strict diet to keep him performing at his best, even when they’re hanging out together.
They seem to have a great balance, supporting each other while still managing their demanding schedules.
Refuting Breakup Rumors
Swift’s absence at Kelce Car Jam also follows a wave of rumors about their relationship.
Last month, reports surfaced that the two had a public relations contract and were planning to break up at the end of September. However, those rumors were quickly debunked.
In fact, last month was the last time the couple spent an extended period together in the public eye.
They made an appearance at the US Open men’s final in New York City before enjoying a Mediterranean dinner with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.
Since then, Swift has been largely out of the public eye, likely preparing for her next career moves, while Kelce has been focusing on his NFL season.
Anyway, for now, all eyes are on Arrowhead Stadium, as Chiefs fans wait to see if the “Anti-Hero” singer will be cheering from the sidelines once again.
