Taylor Swift Skips Travis Kelce’s Chiefs vs. Panthers Game

Taylor Swift missed Travis Kelce’s away game as the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Carolina Panthers.

The pop star, 34, was not in attendance at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, November 24, where a 27-yard reception meant Kelce, 35, has the third most receiving yards for a tight end in NFL history.

Swift’s schedule would have allowed her to watch the game in person as she wrapped the sixth and final show of her Eras Tour stint in Toronto on Saturday, November 23, and she will not hit the stage again until Friday, December 6, in Vancouver. However, she has yet to travel to an away game during the 2024-2025 NFL season.

Kelce’s father, Ed, even joined Swift at her Saturday concert, where he was seen all dressed up in a suit and trading friendship bracelets with fans.

Swift has shown her support for Kelce at all of his home games this season, though. She previously made her way to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, for his games against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5, the Cincinnati Bengals on September 15, the New Orleans Saints on October 7, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 4 and the Denver Broncos on November 10.

Despite both of their busy schedules, Swift and Kelce have spent plenty of quality time together in recent months. In addition to her visits to Kansas City, they enjoyed his bye week with a string of outings in New York City in October, and he traveled to Indianapolis earlier this month to see her in concert one more time before her tour wraps up in Vancouver on December 8.

In September, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the couple are looking forward to taking their relationship to the next level after her tour ends.

“Taylor and Travis are very committed and serious about their future,” the insider revealed at the time. “Taylor is ready for the next era of her life. She knows it will be special.”

The source noted that Swift and Kelce have had “serious conversations” about the next stages of their romance, adding, “Taylor has expressed how excited she is to settle down after her tour concludes. They’re on the same page.”

In the meantime, fans are wondering whether Swift and Kelce will celebrate Thanksgiving together after spending the holiday apart in 2023 due to her touring schedule. Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce, played coy on the Today show earlier this month, teasing, “She’s kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do.” However, Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, hinted during a September episode of the siblings’ “New Heights” podcast, “We’re all going to KC for Thanksgiving,” referring to the family’s holiday plans.
