The real reason for Taylor Swift’s absence from Travis Kelce’s last two Kansas City Chiefs games has been revealed, putting to rest rumors of a possible breakup between the pop star and NFL player.
Taylor Swift, who has been a frequent attendee at Kelce’s games, started the 2024-25 NFL season by supporting him at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs secured a win over the Baltimore Ravens. She was also spotted at their thrilling victory against the Cincinnati Bengals.
However, Swift was notably absent from the Chiefs’ Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Georgia, raising eyebrows among fans.
Kelce, who had been struggling on the field during that game, was seen looking visibly frustrated on the sidelines. His subpar performance, combined with Swift’s absence, sparked speculation about possible issues between the two. The rumors only intensified after she was also absent from the Chiefs’ Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. Fans began to wonder if the pair had split, especially after not being seen together in public for several weeks.
Adding fuel to the fire was a fake contract circulating online, which falsely claimed that Swift and Kelce were in a staged relationship, with a “breakup” planned for September 28, just before the Chiefs’ game against the Chargers. While this document was quickly debunked, it left many wondering what was really going on between the two.

According to reports from The Sun US and TMZ, the reason for Swift’s absence had nothing to do with relationship troubles. Instead, it was revealed that Swift had skipped the Falcons game to focus on preparations for the grand finale of her Eras Tour, which is set to take place later this year. As the pop sensation gears up for her tour’s return, it seems her busy schedule has been the main reason she hasn’t been at Kelce’s recent games.
Many fans had speculated that Swift would attend the Chiefs’ game against the Chargers in Los Angeles, given her connections to the city. After all, she filmed part of her Eras Tour concert at SoFi Stadium, which was later released in theaters. However, her absence from the game only fueled more speculation about her relationship with Kelce.
TMZ confirmed that there are no issues between the couple and that they remain strong. The report stated that Swift is currently preparing for the next leg of her tour, which kicks off on October 18 at the sold-out Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, home of the Miami Dolphins. “Taylor is going back on tour in a couple weeks in Florida,” TMZ reported. “So it appears rehearsals may be contributing to her missing Travis’ recent games.”
Despite Swift’s absence, Kelce seems to have bounced back from his early-season struggles. In the Chiefs’ victory over the Chargers, Kelce recorded seven catches for 89 yards—more than he had managed in his previous three games combined.
With the Chiefs now holding a 4-0 record, Kelce’s return to form is a positive sign as the season progresses.
For now, it seems Swift and Kelce are continuing to juggle their high-profile careers and relationship, with no signs of trouble between the two.
Swift’s Eras Tour will resume soon, and fans will be eager to see whether she finds time to attend any more of Kelce’s games as the NFL season unfolds.
