Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Navigate a Big Week of Music and Football

It’s a major week for both the music and sports worlds, with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at the center of two major events—the 2025 Grammy Awards tonight and Super Bowl LIX next weekend. While they’ve found creative ways to support each other during Swift’s Eras Tour, this busy first week of February will truly test their schedules.

Taylor Swift’s Big Grammy Night

Swift, nominated for six Grammy Awards, is set to present at the ceremony and could take home some major wins. Her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department—which she announced during last year’s Grammys—is up for key categories like Record, Album, and Song of the Year. Given her history of delivering unforgettable Grammy moments, fans are eager to see what surprises she might have in store.

However, for those hoping for a red carpet debut with Kelce, there’s disappointment—Swift will be attending solo.

Kelce’s Super Bowl Focus

Why won’t Kelce be there? His attention is locked on a different stage—the football field. The Kansas City Chiefs are in full Super Bowl preparation after defeating the Buffalo Bills last week (where he and Swift shared some affectionate moments), and Kelce is determined to lead his team to another championship against the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday.

On The Pat McAfee Show, Kelce expressed his regret about missing the Grammys:
“I wish I could go support Taylor at the Grammys and watch her win every single award she’s nominated for. Unfortunately, I’ve got to get ready for this big ol’ Super Bowl we got in a week,” he said.

Fan Reactions to Kelce’s Absence

Not all fans are buying Kelce’s reasoning, especially since Swift has consistently shown up to support him.

“When Travis doesn’t come with Tay to the Grammys because of ‘Super Bowl practice’ AGAIN, despite her showing up to every one of his games even during her tour, and Tayvises still defend him—then what?” one Swiftie wrote on social media.

Frustration has grown since this is the second year in a row that Kelce has skipped the Grammys. Last year, fans were more understanding as their relationship was still new.

“It’s two years in a row that Travis Kelce hasn’t been to the Grammy Awards to support Taylor Swift,” another fan noted. “Last year, I understood because they were just starting out. But this year? The Super Bowl is still a week away. He could’ve spared a few hours to be there for her.”

Kelce’s Past Support for Swift

Despite speculation about possible tension, others point out that Kelce has shown strong support for Swift in the past. He attended multiple Eras Tour concerts last summer and even made a surprise on-stage appearance in London—proving he makes the effort when his schedule allows.

Supporting Each Other from Afar

While their red carpet debut as a couple isn’t happening yet, Swift and Kelce have mastered the art of cheering each other on—even from a distance. Fans won’t have to wait long to see Swift supporting Kelce in person. The Look What You Made Me Do singer is expected to attend the Super Bowl next Sunday, cheering him on alongside Brittany Mahomes as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
