Travis Kelce comments on Taylor Swift missing his birthday

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Travis Kelce’s 35th birthday party was a real spectacle with classic cars and NFL stars, but one notable absence caught everyone’s attention.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift missed the Kelce Car Jam on Saturday, October 5, causing quite a stir online. However, Kelce seemed unfazed and spent the day surrounded by his family and teammates, including Patrick Mahomes.

Kelce addressed his sweetheart’s absence, telling a reporter that she couldn’t attend the event but would cheer him on at the next game. “She won’t be here right now,” the soccer icon said, as seen in a video shared on TikTok. “I know she’s coming to the game.” He also added, “Oh, I appreciate that, thank you,” when one Swiftie said how much they love Swift, 34.

So why didn’t the “Cruel Summer” singer show up to Kelce’s party? Page six previously reported that she was busy rehearsing for the reboot of her film Epoch tourwhich begins again in Miami on Friday, October 18th.

A source also told the publication, “If she goes somewhere that isn’t Arrowhead, there are safety concerns. She has worked with Arrowhead so many times that they feel comfortable and at ease. She goes to all sorts of stages. “You have to send a team in advance.”

After her performances in Vienna were canceled due to an ISIS terrorist attack in August, Swift is on high alert for her safety these days, and rightly so.

Meanwhile, an insider said Entertainment tonight that the lovebirds are still doing well despite their busy schedule. “Taylor and Travis are still together and doing well. He’s been busy with the NFL season and she’s been enjoying some downtime before her upcoming shows. Even though Taylor isn’t currently on tour, she’s still very busy working and sorting out her upcoming plans.
