Why Travis Kelce Isn’t Joining Taylor Swift at the 2025 Grammys

Next Sunday, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing in their third Super Bowl in a row. Understandably, with the game set in New Orleans, Kelce cannot join his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, at the Grammys this weekend, TMZ reports.

Sources told the outlet that Kelce will remain with the Chiefs, practicing for their game against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9. Swift fueled rumors that Kelce wouldn’t be joining her at the February 2 music awards ceremony on Wednesday when she was seen leaving for Los Angeles without him.

Swift could be taking home quite a few trophies, though. Her nominations are for Record of the Year (“Fortnight” with Post Malone), Album of the Year (The Tortured Poets Department), Song of the Year (“Fortnight” with Jack Antonoff and Post Malone), Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (Gracie Abrams’s “Us”), Best Pop Vocal Album (The Tortured Poets Department), and Best Music Video (“Fortnight”). She is also a show presenter.

Kelce has been vocal about how much Swift’s support of his football career means to him—and how he tries to return the favor himself with her music events. During a recent interview on The Stephen A. Smith Show, he said, “I think personally that’s the beauty of being in a really strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you. You know, that’s why I wanted to be at the concerts, support her and being there for her, making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she’s doing in life. I’m as focused as I’ve ever been on my job and being the best player I can possibly be week in and week out for this team. It’s because I don’t have to worry about things off the field.”
