Travis Kelce Skips Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’: See Who Showed Up Instead

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Taylor Swift kicked off the final leg of her Eras Tour on Friday, October 18 — and fans noticed that a certain someone was absent from the audience.

During the show, the pop sensation’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was not in attendance. However, despite his absence, things appear to be going well for the star couple. In the days leading up to the Eras Tour‘s resume, Swift and Travis, both 34, were seen spending much quality time together, with New York City date nights and an outing at a New York Yankees game. Last week was a bye-week for the Kansas City Chiefs, so the couple was able to get in some time together before their schedules picked back up.

While Kelce himself was not at the show, much of his family showed up for Swift. The Super Bowl champ’s mother Donna Kelce, his brother Jason Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, were all in attendance. Jason and Kylie also brought two of their children — Wyatt, 4, and Elloitte, 3 — to jam out at the show with them.

The “Cruel Summer” singer’s Eras Tour is set to run through Sunday, December 8, and will wrap in Vancouver, Canada. But fans will soon be able to relive the critically-acclaimed tour, as Swift has announced the release of a 500-page photo book titled The Eras Tour Book — which contains photos from several concerts and behind-the-scenes images from rehearsals.

Upon her return to the stage, fans noticed a new outfit of hers — which may indicate that a new project is imminent.

As Swift is booked and busy throughout the year, Travis also has a stacked schedule. In addition to football, the NFL star has been stealing scenes on FX’s Grotesquerie. This past Wednesday, October 16, fans also got to see him host Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? on Prime Video.
