Despite not attending Travis Kelce's most recent NFL game, Taylor Swift and Kelce still found a way to spend time together discreetly. According to an insider, Swift, 33, privately flew from Nashville to Kansas City on Friday, October 6, specifically "to see Travis." This visit occurred the day after Kelce's 34th birthday, where he chose to have a relaxed evening, as per the source.
Kelce and his teammates from the Kansas City Chiefs headed to Minnesota over the weekend for their matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, October 8. Surprisingly, Swift was not seen at Minneapolis' U.S. Bank Stadium, as confirmed by the NFL. Despite suffering a non-contact low-ankle sprain during the game, Kelce managed to get back on the field after receiving medical attention and even scored a touchdown in the third quarter. The Chiefs emerged victorious with a final score of 27-20.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid announced on Tuesday, October 10, that Kelce was expected to participate in the team's practice that day. However, it is uncertain whether Kelce will be able to play in the game against the Denver Broncos on Thursday, October 12. Reid mentioned that Kelce is feeling slightly better but wants to monitor his progress before making a decision.
Before missing Sunday's game, Swift had attended the Chiefs' previous two matchups. He traveled to Kansas City for their September 24 game against the Chicago Bears and to New Jersey for their October 1 victory over the New York Jets.
The NFL addressed critics who believe the league is focusing too much on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship, stating that they regularly update their bios and profile imagery to reflect current events and cultural trends. They explained that the coverage of Swift and Kelce's romance has been embraced as a significant fusion of sports and entertainment, receiving overwhelming positive feedback.
Kelce, on his part, has expressed his indifference towards the overwhelming curiosity surrounding his personal life. "After the Super Bowl, I felt like I was on top of the world, but now I feel even more elevated," he stated during a recent press conference on Friday. Kelce acknowledged the numerous individuals who hold genuine concern for Taylor, and he fully understands why. He emphasized the importance of continuing to live, learn, and savor every moment. Ultimately, Kelce remains adept at compartmentalizing and maintaining focus, a skill he will continue to employ as he moves forward.
