The NFL tight end will not join his pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift, at the 2024 Grammys. But why? Let’s unravel this intriguing story.
Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl once again!
Sunday’s victory
Patrick Mahomes’ squad played in a nail biter on Sunday, taking the win over the Baltimore Ravens on their home field.
His girlfriend was right by his side cheering him on from a suite along with a lot of his family, including his brother, Jason Kelce.
Unfortunately, as they make their way to Las Vegas for the big game, Kelce’s good luck charm might not be in the stands.
Taylor’s dilemma…
Obviously, Travis isn’t the only superstar in the relationship, so balancing schedules can be rough.
While Swift has managed to make it to 11 of her boyfriend’s games since the start of their relationship in 2023, she still has her own obligations to consider.
Taylor is currently in the midst of her Eras Tour, the sixth global world tour of her career.
The Super Bowl will be held on Sunday, February 11–just one day after Swift plays a show in Japan.
The singer also has the Australian leg of The Eras Tour just four days after the big game, another location where time zones are completely flipped.
The singer owns two private jets, so it’s possible that she jumps right on the plane after her performance in Japan.
A direct flight from Japan to Las Vegas, where the Super Bowl is being held, would take Swift just under 12 hours.
That time in the air is nothing to scoff at, but luckily, time zones are on her side.
Her concert starts at 6pm and should probably finish around 9pm local time in Japan.
With the time difference, she would finish her show at 1am local time the day before the Super Bowl in Vegas.
Another sad reality…
While Swift might be able to manage making it to her boyfriend’s event, he definitely won’t be at hers.
It should go without saying that if Kelce does play in the Super Bowl, he won’t be taking any international flights the day before.
Sadly, Kelce won’t be able to make it to support Swift’s at the Grammys, either.
Even though he doesn’t have a game this Sunday, the Chiefs star will be on a strict schedule leading up to the highly anticipated game.
With that being said, Travis has no time to travel, even to Los Angeles for the awards show.
Taylor is up for six Grammys
The singer is hoping to take home awards for record of the year, album of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best pop duo/group performance and best pop vocal album.
During an appearance on the Pat McAfee show on Wednesday, Kelce said: “I wish I could go and support Taylor at the Grammys and watch her win every single award that she is nominated for.”
“But I think I’ve got practice on Sunday, or it is a travel day? No, I’ve got practice on Saturday, Sunday is a travel day,” he said. “I’ve got to get ready for this big old Super Bowl.”
Travis Sets The Record Straight
As the date for the Grammys was announced, fans of both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce anticipated a glamorous red carpet appearance by the couple.
However, in a surprising turn, Travis confirmed he won’t be attending the star-studded event.
Why? Because the Grammys are taking place exactly one week before the monumental Super Bowl LVIII.
Yes, the very event where Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, will be going head-to-head with the San Francisco 49ers. Talk about a clash of titans!
The Grammy-Super Bowl Conundrum
In an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Travis stated…
“I wish I could go support Taylor at the Grammys and watch her win every single award that she’s nominated for but I think I got practice on Sunday. Unfortunately, I gotta get ready for this big ol’ Super Bowl we got in a week.”
It’s clear that despite his desire to support his girlfriend, his commitment to his team and the Super Bowl takes precedence.
The Grammy Night – A Solo Affair?
Taylor Swift, the 12-time Grammy winner, is up for six awards this year, including record of the year, album of the year, and song of the year.
With Travis absent, will she be attending the event alone, or will she bring a family member or close friend along?
The Grammy Night Expectations
The Grammys are set to take place at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. As per sources, Kelce’s team will be landing in Vegas on the same day, making it impossible for Travis to be by Taylor’s side at the event.
Swift’s Swift Return to Support Kelce
Despite her own busy schedule, Taylor Swift plans to cheer on her beau during his big day on Feb. 11.
Even though she’s scheduled to put on four shows in Tokyo from Feb. 7 through Feb. 10, she’ll make it back to the States in time for the Super Bowl.
The Swift Journey
Swift’s direct flight is 13 hours and the time difference gives her an advantage since Tokyo is 17 hours ahead.
It’s quite evident that despite their hectic schedules, both Kelce and Swift have been supportive of each other’s careers as much as they can.
A Journey Through Kelce and Swift’s Love Story
Since they went public last September, Kelce and Swift’s relationship has been in the limelight.
From the paparazzi following them around to their names popping up on every talk show, their relationship has been a hot topic of discussion.
A Supportive Relationship
Swift has been a regular attendee at Kelce’s games, often cheering him on from a VIP suite with his family and friends.
Most recently, she attended the AFC Championship game, where the Chiefs advanced against the Baltimore Ravens. Kelce and Swift’s relationship is not just about love, but also mutual support and respect for each other’s careers.
The Big Win and the Celebratory Kiss
After the Chiefs’ massive win at the AFC Championship game, Swift joined Kelce on the field to celebrate the victory.
The pair was seen sharing a passionate kiss and hug as they celebrated the momentous win.
The Celebration
While Kelce has been able to attend only one of Swift’s concerts, he plans to attend more of her shows during his offseason.
Their bond is evidently growing stronger with each passing day, and it’s clear that they’re enjoying every moment together.
With Super Bowl LVIII looming over, Kelce is focused more than ever. He emphasizes that his primary focus is football and his team, and he wants to pour everything he has onto the field.
