Taylor Swift has been notably absent from her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce’s last two Kansas City Chiefs games, sparking speculation. However, sources confirm that her absence isn’t due to any relationship trouble with the tight end.
Swift made headlines last season with her enthusiastic presence at several of Kelce’s games, becoming a focal point for fans and media alike. So, when she missed the Chiefs’ recent matchups against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, people began to wonder why.
But sources close to the couple are setting the record straight via Page Six. Swift’s no-shows are simply the result of her packed schedule, as she is intensely focused on preparing for the next leg of her Eras tour, which resumes on October 18 in Miami. Swift’s demanding rehearsal schedule has kept her from traveling to these recent games.
In addition to her packed tour schedule, security concerns have also played a role in Swift’s absence from away games. According to a source, it’s much easier for the Shake It Off singer to attend games at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs’ home field, where her security team has experience and feels confident managing her safety. “She’s worked with Arrowhead so many times, they feel at ease and comfortable,” the insider shared. “But going to different stadiums requires a lot more preparation, including sending a security team in advance to ensure everything is in place.”

Swift’s security concerns have heightened recently, especially following an incident earlier in the year when she canceled shows in Vienna after law enforcement uncovered plans for a potential ISIS attack targeting her concert.
While her absence has fueled speculation, it has also provided the couple with a bit of a reprieve from the constant media and fan attention. Travis Kelce, in particular, has faced scrutiny over his performance on the field this season, with some analysts suggesting that his busy personal life, including his relationship with Swift, might be distracting him.
However, insiders say that both Swift and Kelce are handling the public pressure well. “They are both tough people,” said a source, adding that the couple is resilient in the face of criticism.
Despite the swirling rumors, the Kansas City Chiefs have shown no signs of slowing down, with the team currently riding a 4-0 winning streak.
While Swift’s absence may have raised some eyebrows, it appears that both she and Kelce are managing their high-profile relationship and busy careers just fine.
As Swift prepares to return to the stage and Kelce continues to lead his team, the power couple seems to be thriving despite the challenges of fame and public scrutiny.
