Sorry Swifties, but Taylor Swift will not be able to attend Travis Kelce's Kelce Jam. The event is scheduled to happen at The Azura Amphitheater in Kansas City on Saturday, May 18. However, on the same day, Swift, who is 34 years old, will be putting on a show in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of her Eras Tour.

Kelce, who is 34 years old, will be hosting the second annual music festival. This year's lineup includes popular artists such as Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2Chainz.

In a statement released to the press, Kelce expressed his excitement for Kelce Jam in Kansas City. He mentioned how last year's event drew over 20,000 fans, despite the rain. This year, he is looking forward to an even bigger and better experience with the performances of Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2Chainz on stage.

Despite not being present at Kelce Jam, Swift and Kelce have been able to enjoy quality time together while she takes a break from her Eras Tour.

According to a source who spoke exclusively to We in March, the couple is prioritizing rest, relaxation, and spending low-key, chill time at home. They have been enjoying movie nights in Swift's home theater, catching up on films and shows they have missed.

Kelce and Swift are currently taking a break from their busy careers to rest and spend quality time together with friends and family. They have been supportive of each other since announcing their relationship in September 2023. Swift attended 13 NFL games this season, even joining Kelce at Super Bowl LVIII in February. Kelce, in return, has been seen supporting Swift at her Eras Tour shows, including stops in Australia and Singapore.

When Swift first opened up about their relationship in December 2023, she couldn't stop talking about how they both support each other's careers.

In her TIME 2023 Person of the Year interview, she said, "When you make your relationship public, it means we're there for each other, cheering each other on, with other people around, and we're not bothered by it. The opposite would be having to hide the relationship, putting in a lot of effort to keep it a secret. But we're just happy for each other."

Editor's P/S:

Taylor Swift's absence at Travis Kelce's Kelce Jam is a disappointment for fans of both artists. However, it highlights the busy schedules and demands of their careers. Swift's Eras Tour, which has already sold out multiple dates, is a testament to her immense popularity and the dedication of her loyal fans. While Kelce Jam will undoubtedly be a successful event with its impressive lineup, Swift's presence would have certainly elevated the festival to new heights.

Despite their hectic schedules, Swift and Kelce prioritize quality time together during their breaks. Their shared love for movies and music creates a strong bond between them. They have demonstrated unwavering support for each other's careers, attending each other's events and cheering each other on. This mutual admiration and respect is a cornerstone of their relationship, allowing them to navigate the challenges of being in the public eye while maintaining their personal connection.
